Donald
**She leads qaysar into an unfamiliar house**
Joyce
**He notices his mothers old best friend from his childhood in the house, but doesn't comment on it**

**"Now we know who our counterpart's mother is." Said his hallucination angrily**
Joe
**His father was laying in a bed, he looked old and weary, his beard was unshaved, his breath stank**
**He looked dead, but he was still alive**
Donald
I- I'll let you two talk in private.
**She walks outside the room, still cautious in case Qaysar tries murdering her father**
Joyce
**He can't get himself to look directly at his father**
Joe
**It was silent for a bit, and yet it was extremely loud**
Joyce
I could kill you, you know. 
**He sighs**
No one would know, they'd think the disease finally got the best of you. 
**He looks at him in disgust, his tone becoming more aggressive**
DO YOU KNOW how much PAIN you caused, YOU STILL CAUSE, me? 
**He pauses**

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?
Joe
**His father struggles for a breath**
I- **He coughs**
I'm sorry... I was a fool, I should've treated you better.
Joyce
**He was shocked by his father's words, it certainly wasn't something he expected**
**He was speechless, and quickly looked away and tried walking backwards**
Joe
**Despite his weakness, his father reached out and grabbed his arm**
I'm serious. I failed you as a father. 
I know this isn't what you expected from me.
Please don't leave, Al-Qaysar.
Joyce
**He stops, he's in even bigger shock**
**He doesn't know how to react, not only did his father just apologize but for the first time ever he called him by his name**
You didn't say boar.
**He looks directly at his father in his eyes, there was a tear in his left eye**
Joe
**His voice was shaking**
I know I have no right to say this, but I'm proud of you.
You're a far better man than I ever was.
And, I'm sorry I couldn't come to your mother's funeral.
I know how much you loved her.
Joyce
**"I say this is our chance to kill him. Its getting too emotional, its now or never."**
**He was breathing heavily**
I- 
**He was unable to properly reply, he couldn't tell if its the emotions or the hallucinating**
**"COME ON JUST KILL HIM!"**
**"DO IT NOW"**
OH SHUT UP! FOR ONCE, SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO THINK WHEN YOU'RE CONSTANTLY TALKING?
**He was angry**
Joe
**His father slightly smiled**
Hallucinations, huh? 
If it's of any help, your mother had them too.
She kept it a secret from you.
I assume you're addicted to painkillers like she was?

Hey, your mother was no angel.
Joyce
**He sighs**
I guess no one is ever an angel.
**He pauses**
And no one is ever a devil either.
**He looks at his father**
Any other person would've killed you here and now you know...
Instead I'm forgiving you.
**He looks at the wall on the left**
You have a grandson. His name is Zayn... He's eight years old. 
I try teaching him how to be a man.
Joe
Teach him to be like you

**He coughs**
Get to know your sister Qaysar. Even if all you can see when you look at her was me cheating on your mother.
Introduce her to your son too, he deserves a family, better than the one I gave you.
**He coughs for a while**
Joyce
Rest, you need it.
**"Forgiving him makes me feel better, even though i wanted him dead."**

**He starts leaving the room**
Joe
Anushka! Take your brother out for some coffee.
Franklin
