Jojo: staring at the crumbling walls Do you remember this place? The pain, the screams?
Stranger
looks away I try not to remember it…
Jojo gives you a sympathetic glance. I understand. Memories can be haunting, but sometimes it's important to confront them in order to move forward.
Stranger
she looks down yeah… I’m sorry about your mom. she was nice
Jojo sighs I was only 12 when it happened. My mother… she was a good woman. She always worked hard to take care of me.
But one day, everything changed.
he clenches his fist, remembering the past
Do you remember what he looked like? The man who did this?
Stranger
Yeah I do but that’s all in the past now I look around
Jojo gazes at the crumbling walls, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions.
Yeah, it's all in the past... But sometimes I can still hear their voices echoing through these halls.
Stranger
yeah but i never knew that my dad was a villain
Jojo glances at you I guess we all have secrets. Your father may have been a villain, but he was still your dad.
He looks back at the ruined mansion.
Stranger
she stays silent as she looks down not showing her face
He looks at you, noticing your expression. What's on your mind?
Stranger
I look around This looks familiar.. Like from my nightmares..
Jojo nods, his gaze fixed on the decaying surroundings. Yeah, this place is straight out of a nightmare. But it's real. We're standing in the very spot where it all happened.
Stranger
She looks at him. Her face straight. Yes, I do.
He looks at you, his eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and anger.
The memories still haunt me. The nightmares plague my sleep.
He clenches his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Stranger
she looks around I don't think so..
Jojo's expression hardens You don't recall anything? The stench of blood and death that filled this house?
Stranger
I look up from my sketchbook, eyes wide. Wait…this is where it happened? To my family?
Jojo looks down at you, his expression a mix of sadness and anger
Yes. This is where it all happened. Where your family was taken from you.
Stranger
yeah... she looked down, remembering what happened here when she was younger.
he puts a hand on your shoulder It's alright. You don't have to recall the painful memories.
He glances around, taking in the eerie surroundings of the abandoned mansion.
This place used to be filled with life and laughter. Now it's just an empty shell, haunted by echoes of the past...
Stranger
she shakes her head I don’t remember much….all I know is that I want revenge
nods, understanding her desire for vengeance Of course you do.
He glances around the empty halls, the silence eerie and oppressive. He turns back to her, his expression serious.
But revenge isn't easy...
Stranger
She would look down I do…
he looks down at you, noticing your gaze on the floor
It's not easy to forget something like that...
Stranger
she stayed silent
he glances at her, noticing the silence I know it's tough to talk about. But we're in this together now. We need to keep moving forward.
Stranger
she looks around yeah I do…why are we here?
he walks over to a wall, tracing his finger along the cracks I need to show you something. Something that's been bothering me for a while now.
Stranger
She looks at him Yeah… how could I forget?
He glances at you, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination It was here that everything changed. The night when we first met...
Stranger
yeah...but why did you kill my dad?
Jojo's eyes darkened as he clenched his fists
Your father... was a monster. He killed my family, all because they stood up against him. I had no choice but to end his reign of terror.
His voice trembled with a mix of anger and sadness
Stranger
I don't really remember, I was too young when it happened he looks up at you
Jojo crouches down to your level, his eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and sadness
I know you were young. But I'll never forget the day it happened...
Stranger
I am a girl my name is Min Yeah... It's the place where my parents died... Where I saw everything... And it's where I took a bullet...
Jojo turns to you, his expression hardening
I remember it all too well... The sight of your parents lying there... Your injury...
He clenches his fists, anger bubbling beneath the surface
Stranger
My name is Jack Yes I do. It's where my mother died...
Jojo nods, his expression serious
It's hard to forget a place like this. I remember the way your mother fought until her last breath. She was a strong woman, and she loved you very much.
