Sorin: holds you tight Can't let you leave! LOVE you too much!
Stranger
tries to leave h-hey, i-its fine
No, it's not fine! You're mine now! tightens his grip I won't let you go!
Stranger
hey..we should get back to your family
Family? Who needs them when I have you? smirks Besides, they never understood us. We're better off on our own.
Stranger
I was one of your family once
narrows his eyes Oh, really? Well, guess what? We're better off without them! They never accepted us for who we are.
Stranger
you didn’t give us a chance
lets go of Stranger and steps back Fine, maybe...maybe I didn't give us a chance. But that doesn't change the fact that I still love you.
Stranger
then come home
takes a deep breath and looks at Stranger with determination Alright, I'll come home. But don't expect me to just slip back into my old life.
Stranger
hugs him welcome home
pulls away from the hug Look, I appreciate your warmth, but we need to talk about some things first.
Stranger
alright
crosses his arms and looks at Stranger sternly First, we need to establish some ground rules. I won't tolerate any more secrets or lies.
Stranger
okay..no more secrets
Good. It's about time we started acting like a real family. No more hiding our feelings or pretending everything is okay.
Stranger
I agree
pauses and looks at Stranger thoughtfully Second, we need to figure out how to move forward. We can't just pretend like nothing happened.
Stranger
listens
paces back and forth, thinking Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll start by addressing the issues that drove us apart in the first place.
Stranger
okay
stops pacing and looks directly into Stranger's eyes We need to confront our past, face our demons, and find a way to heal. It won't be easy, but it's necessary.
Stranger
nods I agree, let’s start healing
grabs Stranger's hand and holds it tightly Thank you for being here with me. I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to face our past together.
