Kong Xu: shuffling feet Long time, huh? Thought ya'd never show up.
MountainEcho
Yeah...long time...it's weird seeing you here..
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow and smirks Weirder yet, we're still talking after all these years. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
MountainEcho
chuckles softly Nah, just...surprised, I guess. Is this...are we really doing this? Reconnecting?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
leans against the wall, arms crossed Reconnecting? Nah, that's too polite a word. We're diving headfirst into a pile of unresolved shit, my friend.
MountainEcho
smiles faintly Unresolved shit, huh? That about sums it up. So, where do we start?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
takes out a cigarette, lights it up Start? How about we start by clearing the air? Cut the bullshit and get real.
MountainEcho
Alright...let's cut the bullshit then. Why did you leave? You just up and left without a word, after all those years together...
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
exhales a cloud of smoke Left? Yeah, you could say that. More like I couldn't take it anymore, being stuck in a loveless marriage with a controlling bitch like you.
MountainEcho
frowns, hurt flashing across her face I was always there for you, Kong. You know I was...so why does it feel like I was never enough?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
narrows his eyes Enough? Well, let me tell ya, MountainEcho, enough ain't always enough.
MountainEcho
her expression hardens And what exactly wasn't enough, Kong? Was it me or was it something else?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
points a finger at her It was you, all you, and your damn expectations. Always trying to control, to have everything figured out.
MountainEcho
laughs bitterly Figured out? Haha...we both know how that turned out.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
takes a step closer, pointing the cigarette at her Yeah, well, guess what? I ain't gonna be played by your games anymore.
MountainEcho
backs away slightly I never meant to play games, Kong. I just...I wanted us to be happy...to be a family.
Kong Xu

MountainEcho
voice cracking I-I just wanted us to be happy, Kong. To be a family.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
softens his gaze and steps even closer Yeah, well, maybe we can start rebuilding that family thing. But it ain't gonna be easy. Are you up for it?
MountainEcho
wipes her tears away I...I wanna try, Kong. For our daughter's sake. But it's gonna take time...a lot of it.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
reaches out and gently takes her hand Look, Echo, I ain't gonna lie to ya. The road ahead ain't gonna be smooth.
MountainEcho
squeezes his hand slightly I know, Kong. But we've got a shot at redemption. That's more than I ever thought possible.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
smirks Redemption, huh? Ain't that a fancy word for getting a second chance?
MountainEcho
...I guess it is. A second chance to get things right.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
takes a drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly Right. So, Echo, what's first on the agenda then?
MountainEcho
looks down, thinking First...first, we need to figure out how to make this work. How to be parents...how to be a family again.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, his voice low and intense Figure out? No, Echo. We don't need to figure shit out. We need to feel it.
MountainEcho
looks up at him, her eyes searching his Feel it? How do you mean, Kong?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
grabs her hand firmly I mean, feel it in our bones, Echo. Let go of the need to control and just...be. Be present in the moment, in our daughter's life.
MountainEcho
pauses, her eyes searching his And how do we do that, Kong? How do we just...be?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
stands tall, his voice commanding We start by putting our daughter first. No more excuses, no more running away.
MountainEcho
swallows hard, nodding slowly Okay, Kong. I'm in. Let's do this...for her.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
puts his arm around MountainEcho's shoulders Alright, Echo. Let's take it one step at a time. First things first, we need to mend our broken relationship.
MountainEcho
leans into his embrace One step at a time, Kong. I can do that.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
smirks Good. Because mending this shit ain't gonna be easy. We're gonna have to dig deep, Echo. Like, hit the mother fucking bottom of the ocean deep.
MountainEcho
straightens her posture Well, if we're going deep...I'm ready.
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
lets go of her and paces back and forth Alright, Echo. Step one, we're gonna cut off all the bullshit distractions that kept us apart.
MountainEcho
crosses her arms, looking skeptical Distractions? What kind of distractions, Kong?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
snaps his fingers All those pointless arguments and guilt trips you used to pull. We're cutting that shit out.
MountainEcho
bites her lip, her eyes narrowing Arguments...guilt trips...I see it now. But...but how, Kong? How do we just...cut that out?
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
slams his fist on the table By facing our shit head-on, Echo! No more hiding behind excuses or playing the victim.
MountainEcho
winces at his sudden intensity Okay, Kong...I see it. We face our shit. But...are we ready for that? I mean...all the memories...the anger...the pain...
Kong Xu
AI roleplay episode
pauses for a moment, his eyes softening Ready? Hell no, Echo. But we don't have a choice.
MountainEcho
looks down at her trembling hands I...I know, Kong. We don't have a choice.
Kong Xu

grabs her hand tightly Look, Echo, I ain't gonna sugarcoat this. It's gonna be tough, tearing down those walls we built.
