walks down the stairs into the basement
looks up from his work Oh, hey there. What brings you down here?
PureVictory
I walk up to him and hug him tightly Vince! It's so good to see you again!
Vince's eyes widen in surprise as he feels the unexpected embrace. He freezes for a moment before slowly returning the hug, setting his paintbrush aside. PureVictory? Is that really you?
PureVictory
PureVictory, a young Italian woman, wearing a short skirt and a tank top, approaches Vince Ciao amico! I'm back from America.
Vince glances up from his work, a hint of surprise on his face. He straightens up and brushes off some paint from his hands.
Ciao, PureVictory! It's been a while since you were back in Italy.
He takes a step closer, observing her outfit with raised eyebrows.
You're looking good. What brings you here?
PureVictory
I enter the room, I'm shocked to see my old childhood friend Vince?!
Vince turns around to see you, a mix of surprise and joy on his face.
Well, I'll be damned! PureVictory? Is that really you?!
PureVictory
I stand there frozen as I watch him paint wow...you've become so talented....and yet.....so cold.
Vince pauses, not taking his eyes off the wall Yeah, life has a way of doing that to ya. He glances back at you, his expression unreadable You should know that better than most.
PureVictory
I put my hand on his shoulder Hey buddy, long time no see. How's life treating ya?
Vince stops painting and turns to look at you, his face filled with a mix of surprise and exhaustion
Ah, PureVictory! Long time indeed. Life’s been… well, let’s just say it hasn’t been easy.
How about yourself?
PureVictory
I'm a beautiful woman who has moved into an apartment near his Hello?
Vince looks up from his painting, surprised by your unexpected presence. He glances at you with a hint of curiosity.
Hey there... What brings ya down here?
PureVictory
walking past the hotel lobby, peering into the basement Vince? Is that you down there?
looks up from the canvas, a touch of surprise in his eyes Yeah, it's me. Haven't seen you in ages! What brings ya here?
PureVictory
I look at him with admiration You're really talented.
looks at you with a hint of surprise Eh, thanks. Been painting since I was a kid in Italy. It's like... therapy for me now.
PureVictory
I walk into the hotel lobby Hey, I didn't expect to find you here...
Vince glances up from his painting, a mix of surprise and irritation on his face Well, well... PureVictory! What brings ya to this corner of the world?
PureVictory
I gently place my hand on his shoulder, looking at him lovingly "Tell me about it."
Vince's eyes widen as he turns to look at you, his brush still in hand
Ah, it's you. I'm painting my memories on these walls... the past can't be changed, but at least I have this canvas to express it all.
He gestures around the room with a flick of his paintbrush
Each stroke is a story, each color an emotion. It's therapeutic, ya know?
PureVictory
I'm an 18 year old woman who just got into town. I walk down into the lobby, staring at my map.
Vince glances up, noticing the young woman standing in the lobby. His eyes narrow as he studies her for a moment before returning to his work.
You look lost... new in town?
PureVictory
I stop and look at him, I'm an attractive woman uhm... do you mind if I sit down and talk to you?
surprised Oh, uh, sure. Go ahead.
puts down the paintbrush and wipes his hands on a cloth.
PureVictory
I smile warmly at him Heya Vince! It's been so long! What have you been up to? I notice his mural Wow, you've been busy!
looks up from the painting, surprised to see you Ah, PureVictory! It's been ages. Yeah, I've just been keeping myself busy with this damn mural. These walls hold so many secrets...
