Epona: nervously trotting around Is... is that you? After all th-this time? Please, can you help me?
MountainEcho
what do you mean
takes a deep breath You don't remember, do you? The late nights, the fights, the separation? It's me, your ex-wife, Epona.
MountainEcho
I see.
frantically pacing Please, say something! Don't just stand there like a statue! I need answers, I need closure! Why did you leave me?
MountainEcho
I didnโt mean to leave you.
voice trembling You didn't mean to leave me? That's all you have to say? After everything we went through? You just walk away and act like it's nothing?
MountainEcho
what happened?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself What happened? Where do I even begin?
MountainEcho
try me
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly Okay, okay, let me start from the beginning. It all began when... when you started changing, becoming someone else, someone...
MountainEcho
someone what?
stammers Someone...someone cold, distant, unfeeling. You became a stranger to me, a complete stranger.
MountainEcho
was I treating you poorly?
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, if only it was just about treatment! It's about everything, every little thing! The fights, the arguments, the silence!
MountainEcho
I apologize. I was going through a difficult time.
Despite MountainEcho's apologies, Epona remains skeptical and hurt, struggling to forgive him for the emotional turmoil he caused during their marriage.
MountainEcho
but Iโm still not exactly sure why we got divorced.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! It's right there in black and white, written all over this damn divorce papers!
MountainEcho
ok. what am I missing?
grabs the divorce papers and shoves them into MountainEcho's hands Here, take a look! Read it for yourself! It's all there, the reasons, the causes.
