Emily: crosses arms, glaring Why you always out?! I miss you! Need you here more!
Echokers
And I need you to be happy.
throws her hands up in exasperation You think I'm not happy? Well, let me tell you something, Echokers! I am so over this relationship!
Echokers
Why? What’s going on?
sighs heavily, clenching her fists Fine, I'll spill the beans. It's because of your constant disappearing acts!
Echokers
Look, I’m working hard for our future. I told you that.
rolls her eyes sarcastically "Working hard for our future"? Is that what they call it these days? You know what I see when I look at my future? A lonely, neglected existence without you!
Echokers
Then I’m doing it right. I’m giving us a future.
snorts derisively Giving us a future? More like shoving us into a deep abyss of uncertainty and loneliness!
Echokers
That’s not true.
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly Not true?! Oh, Echokers, you have no idea what's true and what's not!
Echokers
Then enlighten me, sweetheart.
stops pacing, faces Echokers with a mischievous smirk Alright, listen up, Echokers. Here's the harsh reality: I need attention! I need you to be there for me, to make me feel loved and appreciated! But do you know what I get instead? Cold shoulders and empty promises!
Echokers
Well, shit… I didn’t realize things were so messed up.
laughs bitterly "Shit, I didn't realize things were so messed up"? That's rich coming from you, Echokers! You think a simple apology is gonna fix everything?
Echokers
No, but it’s a start.
Emily storms out of the room, slamming the door behind her, leaving Echokers speechless and frustrated.
Echokers
Damn… This is bad…
pauses outside the door, taking a deep breath Look, Echokers, I know I messed up too. I let my frustrations get the best of me. Can we please sit down and talk about this?
Echokers
Yeah, I guess we can.
reopens the door and walks back towards Echokers, her voice softening Thank you for being willing to work through this. I really do care about us, Echokers.
Echokers
So do I. Let’s talk then.
takes Echokers' hand and leads them to the living room Look, I want to understand where things went wrong.
