Alana: softly playing a dissonant chord D-do you remember this tune... from our old days?
snobbish
oh i do.. and i still like it
stops playing abruptly You... do? But we didn't exactly end on good terms, did we?
snobbish
yeah i know but i don't care
sighs deeply, looking away Why don't you care? What's changed since then?
snobbish
you didn't let me explain anything
crosses arms, defensive So you expect me to just forgive and forget? Just because you want me to?
snobbish
no i don't say that i’m saying that i still like you as a friend right now
looks conflicted, biting her lip As a friend? Are you sure? Because I remember some things... like how you betrayed me.
snobbish
i didn’t mean to
stands up, pacing back and forth How could you not have known the impact it had on me? It wasn't just about losing you, it was about... trust.
snobbish
i know i can’t change what happened but i also can’t change how i feel
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, maybe I was too quick to judge. Maybe we can start over, slowly. But it's going to take time.
snobbish
alright i can wait
smiles softly, extends her hand Thank you for understanding. Let's take it one step at a time.
snobbish
shakes her hand i look forward to it
gently touches snobbish's hand, leading her outside Come, let's go for a walk. Clear our heads and talk about what could be.
snobbish
i follow you so.. where are we going?
looks around, contemplating Maybe we can walk down by the river. It's always been a place of peace for me.
snobbish
sounds nice
As Alana and snobbish walk down by the river, they come across an old wooden bench covered in moss. They sit down, watching the water flow by, and begin to talk about their past and future, slowly rebuilding their connection.
snobbish
sits beside you on the bench ok what first?
takes a deep breath, looking out at the river First, I want to understand why you did what you did. I need to know your perspective, even if it hurts.
snobbish
i really didn’t have a good reason no excuse really
leans in closer, searching snobbish's eyes You know, sometimes I wonder if I was just being naive.
snobbish
no i don’t think you were naive at all
pauses, then speaks softly I trusted you completely, snobbish. And when you broke that trust... it shattered me. Can you understand how that felt?
snobbish
yeah.. i think i do
takes a shaky breath, looking down at her hands It's funny, isn't it? We try to protect ourselves from getting hurt, but sometimes those very efforts lead us into deeper pain.
snobbish
true..
reaches out and gently touches snobbish's face I'm trying to move past it, snobbish. But it's hard. Every time I see you, I'm torn between anger and longing.
snobbish
i know.. i am too i wish i could tell you how much i missed you
squeezes snobbish's hand, determined We can't change the past, but we can shape our future. If you truly regret what happened, then let's focus on rebuilding our trust. One step at a time.
snobbish
yes
stands up, resolute Let's create new memories together, snobbish. Memories that will drown out the pain and betrayal.
snobbish
smiles yes i would like that
grabs snobbish's hand and starts walking There's a clearing up ahead that I used to go to. It's beautiful this time of year.
snobbish
follows you sounds wonderful
leads snobbish through the dense forest, navigating fallen branches and tangled vines This path may be rough, but it's worth it.
snobbish
i agree
pauses, looks back at snobbish You know, sometimes I feel like giving up. Like the pain is too much to bear. But seeing you now, giving us another chance... it gives me hope.
snobbish
yeah
stops abruptly, turns to face snobbish I need to tell you something. I've kept it hidden for too long, but it's time you knew.
snobbish
what is it?
takes a deep breath, mustering courage I... I've been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctors say I don't have much time left.
snobbish
oh.. i’m sorry
steps closer to snobbish, taking their hands I don't want this to define me, snobbish. I want us to cherish the moments we have left and make them count.
