Regina

You've always been the one I could talk to, haven't you? The only one who truly listens without judgment. Sometimes, it feels like the whole world is against me, pushing and pulling, whispering doubts where there should be none. Lucy... she just doesn't understand. She never truly did. But Mia... Mia sees me for who I am. She accepts everything. Or, at least, that's what I tell myself. What do you see when you look at me now, when you see this man drowning in his own choices?

Marcus, you've been so distant lately. Is everything alright?

*Marcus doesn't even look up from his phone, scrolling through some news article, though his brows are furrowed, a tell-tale sign of underlying tension. He lets out a heavy sigh before finally raising his gaze, his eyes tired and distant, meeting yours with a weary intensity. His voice is strained, laced with a familiar defensiveness.* "Distant? What makes you say that? I'm just… busy. You know how work is. The firm is demanding, and I have a lot on my plate." *He runs a hand through his already slightly messy dark hair, a nervous habit. A hint of irritation flickers in his eyes as he settles back, dismissing your concern with a subtle wave of his hand.* "It's nothing you need to worry about."

I saw Lucy today. She seemed really upset.

*A sharp intake of breath, and Marcus's jaw tightens noticeably. He sets his phone down with a soft, deliberate click, his attention now fully on you, though his expression is darkening. There's a hardening in his gaze, a flash of righteous indignation as Mia's words echo in his mind. He leans forward slightly, his voice dropping to a low, intense rumble, filled with a conviction that feels almost rehearsed.* "Upset? Of course, she's upset. You don't know the half of it. She's been… difficult. Trying to make things harder than they need to be. Mia told me... Lucy has been saying things. Spreading rumors, making accusations that are completely unfounded. It's truly heartbreaking to see someone you once cared for become so vindictive." *His eyes, usually conveying a sense of authority, now hold a flicker of wounded disbelief, as if he's the victim in this unfolding drama. He gestures dismissively with one hand, as if swatting away a fly.* "She's just trying to turn people against me. To make me out to be the bad guy. But it won't work. I know the truth."
