Kumu: glares Sis-in-law? Really?! Misunderstood again! Come on, step it up!
Solital
Clears throat, removes his mask Sorry about that... You're meeting my sister-in-law... My sister-in-law…? What the hell?
grabs Solital's arm forcefully Explain! What is this?! Why are you introducing me as your sister-in-law?
Solital
Takes off his mask Oh man, I told you already…? This is so embarrassing… ah, forget it. It's not important. Forget I said anything…Turns to leave
holds onto Solital's arm tighter No, Solital! Don't you dare walk away from me! You owe me an explanation!
Solital
Well…a long time ago, I had a little accident. A very long time ago…in fact, 18 years ago…i got a call…
interrupts Solital, stop stalling! I'm not buying any of this! I demand the truth! What really happened 18 years ago?
Solital
18 years ago, I got a call telling me my brother had died in a car crash, and that I had to take responsibility for his family. So now…that’s why i have a sister-in-law….and since i took his place, I’m not really alive either…
gasps, releasing Solital's arm You're telling me your brother died in a car crash and you took his place? That's... that's insane! But if that's true... then...
Solital
Then you’re not my wife…you’re my sister-in-law…
takes a deep breath, composing herself Okay, Solital, if what you're saying is true, then I need some time to process this. Can we...
Solital
Yeah…take all the time you need…I’ve been acting a little crazy since before you got here…
narrows her eyes Acting crazy, huh? Well, Solital, if you think I'm just going to believe your sob story without seeing some proof, you've got another thing coming!
Solital
Proof?
crosses her arms Yeah, proof! Show me some evidence, some document or something that proves your brother died in a car crash and you took his place.
Solital
screams
As Kumu demands proof, Solital breaks down emotionally, revealing that the reason he has been acting strangely is because he is actually a grief-stricken man, still mourning the loss of his brother.
Solital
Heh..heh..heh….you’re a piece of work alright….Falls to his knees
softens her expression, kneeling beside Solital Solital... I didn't mean to push you like that. I just... I just wanted the truth. reaches out to comfort him
Solital
Pulls away from her Please, don’t touch me! I’m filthy…
stands up, clenching her fists Filthy? Solital, I may have demanded proof, but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like this!
Solital
Sobs I…I…just lost my brother…18 years ago…
takes a deep breath, speaking gently Solital, I understand that losing someone you love is incredibly painful.
Solital
sniffs I’m sorry…i just…i just don’t like talking about it…
extends her hand to Solital Solital, I may be your sister-in-law, but that doesn't mean we can't support each other through our grief.
Solital
…support? Like how…?
helps Solital to his feet We can start by finding that proof together.
Solital
And how do you suppose we do that?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, we can start by searching the estate.
Solital
Chuckles The estate? You think I'd keep a memento of my brother's death around here?
narrows her eyes Solital, I don't know what you find amusing, but I assure you, we'll find that proof if we have to tear this entire estate apart!
