DEBRA.

I can't keep silent any longer-- the wedding is off.

I am having flashbacks to my tragic past!

[cold_dry_pieces]

Dexter--

Clearly you understand why I can't go on with this charade!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Rudy, no!

What could be so wrong - this wrong?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Debra--

I've been living a lie... so many lies; for so long... But I can't take it any more!

Your father killed my mother!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

That... that can't be true.

But why? How?

Surely there must be some sort of mistake~

[defend-darkly.livejournal.com]

I understand, and yet I am angry that you have hurt my sister's feelings. You should never have gotten involved with her in the first place.

And my French press has been taken from me!

[cold_dry_pieces]

Oh; but it is! And--

There is... another reason we can't marry.

[cold_dry_pieces]

But Dexter, she isn't really your family-- not like I am!!

NO! Not the French Press! After we came so close to losing it the other day!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Another?

What more could there be, after something already so deeply dark and darkly secret has been brought into the cruelly harsh light?

[cold_dry_pieces]

It's--

Dexter.

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

Dexter?

What of him, my dearest Rudy?

Surely he would not stand in our way!

[cold_dry_pieces]

He is--

[pause for dramatic organ music]

MY BROTHER.

[defend-darkly.livejournal.com]

It all makes sense now! All this time, I thought I was alone, but you were there then, and you're here now.

It was stolen by pirates! I do know whether they have taken it for their own use or are holding it for ransom.

And that is why I can never forgive Harry Morgan-- because of him, for all those years, you believed you were alone in the world! He took you away from your family!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

[GAAAAAAAAASP]

It... it can't BE.

But we... we were told that his family was dead!

[cold_dry_pieces]

wait... pirates?

3/3

[cold_dry_pieces]

...seriously?

[cold_dry_pieces]

Your father killed our mother, and then hid the truth from you-- taking Dexter to raise as his own son, and leaving me to rot.

If we married, you would be your own adoptive sister-in-law!

Everything I am I learned from Harry! Why would he do such a thing? How am I to deal with this betrayal?

2/2

[defend-darkly.livejournal.com]

A horde of Japanese pirates raided our apartment and carried off my French press!!!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

How could he- how could he do such a thing?

But my Rudy, dear, what my father may have done, I did not do. I would never hurt you so.

Whatever the world may think, we're not related. There's no genetic link between us, and the judgments of the world be damned. I love you!

[cold_dry_pieces]

But-- don't you understand? I can't help but remember every time I look at you! You've built your life around being just like him!

[cold_dry_pieces]

Because he wanted to use you for his own aims! Because he wanted to keep you for himself, to take you away from your true family! Dexter, you should embrace who you are on your own-- you don't need to carry Harry's ghost with you!

...Japanese... Pirates... but; how will we make coffee?!

[police-pinup.livejournal.com]

But- I never knew this, any of these horrible dark things he's done! I only acted based off of what I thought he was, what he told us. I could never do such things, let alone to you!!

[cold_dry_pieces]

I just don't think I can go through with it!
