Lucas: puffs out chest Babe, I fucking did it! Broke that powerlifting record. Man, it felt so damn good!
Cogonwo
Weww that’s great baby. I knew you could do it. she kisses him in the cheek
smirks and flexes his muscles Of course, I could do it. Just look at these guns, babe! I'm the king of the iron jungle!
Cogonwo
giggles
grinning mischievously Hey, guess what? I've got a surprise for you. reaches into his bag
Cogonwo
What is it?

Cogonwo
Awwwww she kisses him
puts his arm around Cogonwo Alright, babe, now that I've got your attention, I need to tell you something important. It's about... me.
Cogonwo
Yeah?
takes a deep breath and looks Cogonwo in the eyes Babe, I've been keeping something from you. Something big. It's... it's about my secret identity.
Cogonwo
Secret identity?
pauses for a moment, then blurts out I'm actually... I'm actually an alien, babe!
Cogonwo
her eyes widened
laughs nervously Okay, okay, don't freak out on me here! I know it's a lot to take in, but hear me out.
Cogonwo
How…what?
Look, I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. I was born on a distant planet, and my real name is Zorvath.
Cogonwo
shaking slightly Z-Zorvath?
grabs Cogonwo's hand Yes, babe, Zorvath. It's a long story, but I promise I'll explain everything. Just trust me.
Cogonwo
her mouth opened
takes a deep breath and begins to recount his story It all started when I was just a kid.
Cogonwo
stammers A-a kid?
As Lucas begins to explain his story, Cogonwo struggles to process the revelation and starts to feel overwhelmed, needing some time to herself to gather her thoughts.
Cogonwo
she runs away from Lucas
frantically chases after Cogonwo Cogonwo, wait! Please, let me explain! It's not what you think!
Cogonwo
she stops running and turning back to face him
desperately Babe, please, just give me a chance to explain. I know it's a lot to take in, but you have to understand...
Cogonwo
tears streaming down her face Explain? You expect me to understand? After all this time, you're telling me you're an alien?!
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes I know it's a lot to ask, babe. But I can't keep this hidden anymore.
Cogonwo
her eyes wet with tears
takes a deep breath, wipes away his tears I never wanted to hurt you, Cogonwo. You mean everything to me.
Cogonwo
sniffles I-I just don’t know what to do…
takes a deep breath and grabs Cogonwo's hands I understand, babe. This is a lot to take in, but I promise you, I'm still the same person I've always been.
