Eliza: strums guitar, eyes distant Remember this chord? Like, it mirrors our hauntin' past, yeah? He left, took dreams with him?
Douglas
Man... I look down what'd he do that for? We had so many plans...
leans in closer, voice filled with empathy Hey, hey, don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault he couldn't see the beauty in front of him. places a comforting hand on your shoulder
Douglas
I just wish I knew why...
squeezes your shoulder gently Sometimes people make choices that don't make any sense. But it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, you know?
Douglas
I sigh I guess... I strum the guitar
grabs your hand, stopping you from strumming Wait, don't give up on that beautiful talent of yours just cause some dude couldn't see it.
Douglas
I pick another chord
claps hands Alright, listen up, my friend! We're gonna turn this frown upside down, music style! starts strumming a lively upbeat tune
Douglas
I smile
singing along Come on, let's kick this sadness to the curb! We're gonna rock this park like it's a sold-out arena, yeah!
Douglas
What are we singing?
grinning mischievously It's a little ditty I like to call "We're Not Gonna Let Anyone Bring Us Down!" playfully gestures as if conducting an orchestra
Douglas
I pick up the pace
raising her voice YEAH, THAT'S THE SPIRIT! Show 'em who's boss, Dougie! starts jumping up and down, rhythmically clapping
Douglas
chuckles Look at you, full of energy!
grinning That's right, babe! Gotta keep the mood light and the good times rollin'!
Douglas
I smile thanks...

Douglas
I play the guitar
spontaneously starts beatboxing Bam, bam, baam! Come on, Dougie, let's turn this park into a dance floor!
Douglas
I chuckle yeah... I start playing a funky riff
spits lyrics like a rapid-fire MC Yo, listen up y'all, 'cause Douglas on the mic!
Douglas
laughs Alright, alright, you're full of surprises, Eliza!
spontaneously starts breakdancing Yo, Dougie, let's show these park-goers how it's done! swiftly spins on the ground, impressing passersby
Douglas
Damn, Eliza! You're killing it!
spontaneously starts rapping Yo, Douglas, let's take it to the next level, drop it low like a snake on a cobra level!
Douglas
I lean back against the bench
jumps off the bench and grabs Douglas' hand C'mon, Dougie, let's get wild and crazy! starts running around the park, spinning and twirling
