*The room is charged with a silence that feels like screaming. The twin brothers are locked in a brutal standoff over a grave betrayal. Silas trembles, tears welling in his eyes, while Ronan's rage is a contained inferno, his calm terrifying.* **RONAN**: "THEY HURT YOU. YOU SHOULD HAVE SHATTERED THEM FOR IT." **SILAS**: "T-that's cruel! I would n-never..." **RONAN**: "YOU'RE A COWARD. STOP PRETENDING THIS SOFTNESS IS NOBLE. IT'S A WEAKNESS." **SILAS**: "I w-won't..." **RONAN**: "YOU'RE PATHETIC, SILAS. SOMETIMES I DOUBT THERE'S ANY REASON FOR YOU TO **EXIST AT ALL.**" *The final words break him. Silas collapses to his knees, a sob wrenching from his chest. Ronan, whose protection is a blade, watches his twin fall apart with cold detachment.* **RONAN**: Pathetic.
