Mercedes & Jeritza C

link
Mercedes, Jeritza enter the scene
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I never imagined I'd see you again.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Indeed...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Emile, I've missed you so much. How long has it been since we last spoke?
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Since you left House Bartels. I was eight.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

And just look at you now! All grown up.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I notice that you still indulge in sweets. It makes me happy to see that you're still the same in some ways.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Hm... It has been some time since I've tasted such a thing...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Well, of course. That's because this is a recipe only Mother and I know of.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh no! You've gotten crumbs all over your face. Sit still while I wipe them off.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Stop it.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh, come on. Allow me to be your big sis. It won't hurt you to indulge me.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Mercedes. The little brother you once loved... He is no longer here.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

It doesn't matter to me how you've changed. You will always be my baby brother.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You are precious to both me and to Mother.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Mother is well, I assume...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

She is very well! You should send her a letter. She'd be so thrilled!
link
Jeritza
volume_up

I suppose.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Mother has always borne a deep regret over what happened. We should have brought you with us...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

We never intended to leave you alone with House Bartels.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Perhaps not. But it was wise of Mother to have only taken you.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

As the heir, if she had taken me, Father would have searched relentlessly for us all.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

And...had he found us...I feel certain he'd have killed you both.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Yes... That's what Mother said too. He'd have done exactly that.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You know, I've heard about what happened... About killing the family of House Bartels.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

And? Are you afraid of me? Or...do you despise me?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Neither of those. That isn't why I bring this up.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I understand your reasons, but it's a terrible thing to take a life. You understood that even then.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I've been waiting a very long time to ask you. Why did you do it? Why did you kill your father?
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Because I wanted to.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I know you're avoiding my question. I can hear it in your voice.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

I won't ask any further if you don't want to tell me why. But...just let me know if you ever feel ready to talk to me about it.
link
Jeritza
volume_up

Understood. The time may eventually come.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Until then, I'll wait patiently.
