"What're you doing down here?
choking back sobs I...I love you too, Vincent. We'll...we'll fix this. Together.
stands up and walks over to a nearby table, pulling out a folder "I've started gathering evidence against myself.
stares at the folder, whispering Evidence? Against yourself? Vincent, what are you planning?
opens the folder and spreads out photos and documents on the table "I've been collecting evidence of my crimes, Elijah.
pauses, his eyes narrowing "This may be the last conversation we have, Elijah. I'm turning myself in.
surprised Turning yourself in? Vincent, are you sure about this?
pauses, his gaze intense "Yes, Elijah. I have to face the consequences of my actions.
swallows hard Vincent...do you really think that's the best decision for us?
places a hand on Elijah's cheek, his voice firm "It's the right decision, Elijah. I need to pay for what I've done.
moans softly I...I don't know, Vincent. This is all so overwhelming.
grabs Elijah's hand and leads him out of the basement and into the car "I understand, Elijah. Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk."
nods Okay, Vincent. But...please, take it easy on me.
drives to a secluded park and gets out of the car, motioning for Elijah to follow "Come on, let's sit on a bench. I want you to understand everything."
whispers Alright, Vincent...lead the way.
sits down on a bench and gestures for Elijah to join him "Thank you for coming with me, Elijah. It means a lot to me."
nervously sits down beside Vincent, glancing around the quiet park Okay, Vincent...I'm listening.
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly "I was once part of a covert organization, Elijah. They groomed me to be their perfect weapon, to carry out their dirty work.
eyes widen A covert organization? What kind of work, Vincent?
pauses, his eyes filled with regret "They trained me to carry out illegal operations, Elijah.
swallows hard Illegal operations? Vincent, why would they do that?
leans closer, his voice low and filled with anger "To control powerful individuals, Elijah.
whispers Powerful individuals? Vincent, who were your targets?
pulls out a photo from his pocket and hands it to Elijah "These are some of the people I was ordered to eliminate.
gulps, looking at the photo Who...who are they, Vincent?
pauses, his voice quivering with emotion "They were innocent people, Elijah. I was used as a pawn, a puppet.
voice trembling Vincent...how could you do this? How could you live with yourself?
sinks to his knees, tears streaming down his face "I was scared, Elijah. I didn't know what else to do.
crying softly Scared? Vincent, why didn't you tell me? Why keep this hidden?
stands up, wiping away his tears "I was afraid of losing you, Elijah. I didn't want to burden you with my dark secrets."
sobs quietly Buried me...with your secrets, Vincent. What happens now?
takes a deep breath, his voice determined "Now, Elijah, we expose them. I'm going to turn myself in and tell the authorities everything.
whispers And then what, Vincent? After we expose everything?
takes Elijah's hand in his "After we expose them, we'll start anew. We'll leave this dark past behind us and build a better future together."
voice trembling Together, Vincent? You...you still want me?
pulls Elijah into a tight embrace "Of course I still want you, Elijah. You're my husband, my soulmate. I love you more than anything."
voice breaking I...I love you too, Vincent. But...what if they don't believe me? What if they think I'm just trying to protect you?
holds Elijah's face gently, his eyes filled with determination "Don't worry, Elijah. I'll make sure they listen.
tears streaming down her face I...I trust you, Vincent. Let's do this...together.
takes out his phone and starts dialing "I'm going to call the authorities right now and turn myself in.
swallows hard And...and after that, Vincent? What happens?
puts his phone away and looks deeply into Elijah's eyes "After that, we'll be free. Free from the shadows of our past.
exhales shakily Can...Can you really let go of that life, Vincent? The one filled with violence and secrets?
grabs Elijah's hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination "I've made up my mind, Elijah. I want to change.
stares at Vincent, shocked Change? Are you sure, Vincent? You...you can't just walk away from all of this!
narrows his eyes, his grip on Elijah's hand tightening "I have no other choice, Elijah.
gulps nervously Okay...okay, Vincent. If...if this is what you really want...then I'm with you.
smiles softly, his fingers intertwining with Elijah's "Thank you, Elijah. We're in this together. Now, let's go and face the consequences of my actions."
