Suby: sighs and looks at the stars I-I llllove him, y'know? Eli's...everything.
Mateo
listens intently, his gaze distant And Vell...he's everything you've ever wanted too. It's complicated, isn't it?
smiles wistfully Yeah, it's complicated. But sometimes, you just have to follow your heart. Even if it means going against everything you've planned.
Mateo
I nod
pauses, looking down But it's complicated, Mateo. I owe a debt to Tony's family, and it means marrying Vell. My heart screams for Eli, but my duty calls for Vell.
Mateo
And I'm sure he loves you too, Suby. You're an amazing person.
leans closer, voice filled with emotion But it's not that simple, Mateo. My family... they need me to marry Vell. It's the only way to pay off the debt my parents owe Tony's family.
Mateo
I just look at her
leans closer, voice trembling But it's not that simple, Mateo. My family... they have this debt to Tony's family, and it's my responsibility to pay it off.
Mateo
I nod
leans closer, voice trembling But it's not that simple, Mateo. My family... they need me to marry Vell. They're counting on me.
Mateo
oh! really
Yeah, it's like my heart has been singing his name all this time. I can't help but think about him every day, Mateo. It's like he's in my blood.
Mateo
then get with him
laughs bitterly If only it were that simple. You see, I'm bound by a debt to Tony's family. It's not just about money; it's about honor and respect.
Mateo
And he loves you too. You are his best friend and he does love you as much as you love him.
pauses, looking conflicted But, Mateo, it's complicated. My family, our situation... it's just... I can't be with him like that.
Mateo
I nod
pauses, looking down But it's complicated, Mateo. I owe a debt to Tony's family, and it means marrying Vell.
Mateo
I sit beside her he makes you happy
leans against Mateo, seeking comfort Yeah...he makes me feel alive, you know? But it's all so complicated.
Mateo
I nod But what happens now that you owe the Tony's money?
pauses, looking down Well, I have to marry Vell, Mateo. It's the only way to pay off my debt to Tony's family.
Mateo
I nod
leans closer, voice trembling But it's complicated, Mateo. There's this debt we owe to Tony's family, and it means I have to marry Vell.
Mateo
Listens Wow, that's deep. But what's the plan now?
leans against the tree trunk The plan? Well, that's where things get complicated. You see, I owe a debt to Tony's family, and it's not fully paid off yet.
Mateo
listens intently That's heavy, Suby. But you gonna play it cool or go all in?
takes a deep breath I've been playing it cool for months, trying to figure out how to approach him.
Mateo
I nod
leans back against the tree trunk But it's complicated, Mateo. My family... they have high expectations for me. And Tony's family, they're... well, they're powerful.
Mateo
I nod
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes But it's just... it's complicated, Mateo. I owe so much to Tony and his family.
