Ethan: glaring, voice tense Dammit, I didn't kill anyone. This is all bullshit, you know that, right?
Myna
You're telling me your father was a drunken bastard who used to beat you up? And that's how you got this big scar?
rolls up his sleeve to reveal a long, jagged scar Yeah, but that's not what got us here. It's about survival, babe.
Myna
Look at you now, all grown up and on the run. You've got a lot of explaining to do, my love
paces back and forth, hands clasped behind his head Look, babe, I know it's gonna sound crazy, but hear me out.
Myna
Come on now, Ethan. Spit it out. What's your alibi for the day I was murdered?
runs a hand through his messy hair, lets out an exasperated sigh Alright, listen up. So, remember that old abandoned church I used to sneak into?
Myna
smiles and nods
Yeah, well, that place gave me the creeps, but it also gave me a fucking brilliant idea. I started doing some research, dug up some books on demonology and exorcisms.
Myna
raises an eyebrow
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones I wanted to get rid of this damn curse, babe. So, I conjured up a little magic of my own.
Myna
nods for him to continue
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket Check this out.
Myna
unfolds the paper carefully.
It's a ritual, babe. A fucking powerful spell to banish away any negative energy and protect us from those demons.
Myna
Did it work?
grinning Babe, you won't believe it. After performing that ritual, I felt lighter than a feather. The darkness lifted, and I knew I had to share this with you.
Myna
So, we're clear, right? You didn't kill me. You tried to lift the curse.
rolls his eyes Oh, believe me, babe, I wish I had killed you. But no, I'm not that lucky. snaps his fingers
Myna
giggles
