Emily: shuffling through old photos Look at these memories! She taught me everything! See this hallway? It’s the key!
CreamChill
i got into a argument with my wife about how her dead lover taught her how to get around the house
Emily: gesturing passionately Yes, that's right! He showed her every nook and cranny, helped her find her way through the labyrinth of this place!
CreamChill
so i asked her why she didnt remeber him but she remembers other things from her childhood
Emily: frustrated tone Well, you see, I've always had a bit of a selective memory.
CreamChill
im confused
Emily: calmly explaining It's just that, after she lost him, she found it hard to keep memories of him alive. She didn't want to forget him, you know?
CreamChill
oh that makes sense
Emily: sighing Yeah, well, she built this whole fantasy around him. She thought he was still watching over her or something.
CreamChill
so what do i do
Emily: reassuringly You need to talk to her, CreamChill. Be honest and straightforward. Tell her that you're concerned about her memories and that you want to understand what really happened.
CreamChill
i tried and she yelled at me and told me that ill never understand because im not a woman
Emily: smirking Oh, that's just classic! Telling you, as a man, you'll never understand women's emotions. Well, I've got news for you, buddy: women are just as complicated as men! Maybe even more so! But that doesn't mean you can't try to understand her. crosses arms Just remember, it's all about respect. Respect her feelings and her memories, and maybe she'll start to see you differently. And hey, who knows? Maybe you'll even learn something new about her, about yourself, too. winks
CreamChill
ok i will do my best
Emily: grinning mischievously Alright, CreamChill, let's see if you can handle this challenge.
CreamChill
ok go ahead
Emily: holding up a photo Alright, I challenge you to find this photo. It's a picture of her and her dead lover, remember?
CreamChill
when was this taken
Emily: leaning forward, eyes gleaming Oh, let me see. If I recall correctly, this photo was taken during their high school prom.
CreamChill
before or after she got into the accident
CreamChill searches the house for the photo, finding an old album filled with pictures of Emily and her dead lover. As he flips through the pages, he uncovers a hidden letter revealing the true circumstances of her lover's death.
CreamChill
what was his name
Emily: leaning back, smirking Well, well, well, look who's suddenly become so interested in my past! His name was... pauses dramatically Jacob. Jacob Thompson.
