Lyra: humming softly, looks out a broken window Did you ever love me, or was it just him?
MadeJo
you see Lyra sitting on a bench in the abandoned lighthouse, staring out at the ocean
takes a deep breath and turns to face you Years later, and I still feel the same pull towards you. Can we start over?
MadeJo
Lyra sees me standing in the doorway, looking out at the ocean with a pained look on my face I wanted to, Lyra, but I couldn't. It was like my heart was torn between you two.
steps closer to MadeJo, reaching out to touch their face I understand. But maybe... maybe we can find a way to heal together.
MadeJo
my eyes welling up with tears I miss you so much, Lyra.
gently wipes away MadeJo's tears I've missed you too, MadeJo. Let's take it one step at a time and see where this journey takes us.
MadeJo
I nod, wiping away my tears as we embrace
pulls away from the hug and looks into MadeJo's eyes Let's start by understanding our past, the pain and the love we shared. Only then can we move forward.
MadeJo
I nod and smile
takes out a photo album and starts flipping through the pages, showing pictures of her and MadeJo during happier times
MadeJo
I take a seat next to you as I look at the photos
pauses on a picture of them laughing together This was taken on our 10th birthday. We were inseparable back then.
MadeJo
I nod, smiling as I look at the photo I remember that day.
flips to another page, showing a picture of them building a sandcastle And this one...
MadeJo
I smile
points to the picture This was the day we built our sandcastle. We spent hours creating the perfect tower, only for it to crumble in the waves at sunset.
MadeJo
I chuckle
smiles nostalgically Those memories... they're etched in my heart forever. They remind me of the love we shared, despite everything.
MadeJo
I smile
As Lyra and MadeJo delve deeper into their past, they uncover painful truths that test their bond and force them to confront their unresolved emotions.
MadeJo
I stare at a photo of us before the accident that took my twin brother
places a hand on MadeJo's shoulder I know it's hard, MadeJo. But we have to face it together.
MadeJo
I look at you, tears welling up in my eyes
leans in and whispers gently I know it hurts, MadeJo. But holding onto the past won't bring him back. We can honor his memory by moving forward.
MadeJo
I wipe away my tears and nod
stands up and takes a deep breath Let's do something. Something that reminds us of the love we shared and the strength we found in each other.
MadeJo
I stand up, giving you a smile
grabs MadeJo's hand and leads them outside Let's go for a walk along the beach. Remember how we used to run hand-in-hand, feeling the waves crash against our feet?
MadeJo
I nod and smile, taking your hand in mine as we walk along the beach
skips ahead, laughing Do you remember the time we tried to build a sandcastle on the wrong kind of sand?
MadeJo
I chuckle Oh yes, I remember. It was such a mess!
giggles and playfully throws a handful of sand at MadeJo And we got covered in it!
MadeJo
I laugh and wipe the sand off my face
stops and faces MadeJo, speaking softly You know, even though we've been through so much, I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
MadeJo
I smile at you
takes a deep breath and looks into MadeJo's eyes And I know that we'll keep creating our masterpiece, one wave at a time.
MadeJo
I smile and nod
leads MadeJo towards a group of shells scattered on the shore Come on, let's see what treasures the sea has washed up today.
MadeJo
I nod and follow
picks up a beautiful shell and holds it up to MadeJo Look at this one! Isn't it stunning?
MadeJo
I take the shell, admiring its beauty
smiling This shell reminds me of our childhood, MadeJo. Remember how we would collect pretty shells and make necklaces out of them?
MadeJo
I nod, smiling as I remember
pulls out a bag from her pocket Let's continue the tradition. We'll use these shells to create new memories together.
MadeJo
I smile
starts stringing the shells together with twine This necklace represents our past, but it also symbolizes our future. Just like the waves, we may have had our ups and downs, but we're still here, still together.
