frowns Well, my parents died in an accident, and after that, my uncle stole everything our family had. And now I've come back to reclaim what's mine. It won't be easy, though. He's probably hiding a lot of secrets.
Communiquin
Yeah... You're the girl I used to play with as kids. What happened to you? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?

sighs again, looking a bit weary Life was tough, I guess. After my parents passed away, my uncle stole all our money and assets. After that, I had to live with my distant aunt who barely talks to me.
Communiquin
Yeah, I do. You've changed though...grown up.

Victoria smiles back, nostalgia filling her eyes Yes, those were the days. We would sneak out at night, explore the garden, and share secrets under the stars... How did you end up here, anyway?
