“What you’ve done with that place is pure magic!”

“Okay, listen: you can stay until you’ve got enough money to afford your own home again. I know that you still have to pay off a mortgage for a house you no longer live in, and I understand your difficult situation, but I love my personal space. I work from home. I need it.”

“Ah, don’t worry, I’ll be back on my own feet in no time!”

“And I can’t believe you betrayed Komei like this! He’s worth his weight in gold! You can thank him for convincing me to let you stay here. He really cares about you, man.”

“I know…”

“Brandon, old pal! How’s my favourite buddy?”

“Cut it, Joe. We haven’t talked in years!”

“And I’m honestly sorry for that. Listen, I’m sorry for never calling you and I understand if you chase me off the lot, but I need a place to crash-”

“Komei already told me that you’d likely come here. You can stay on my couch for a few nights.”

Brandon senses that his apology is honest.

“You wanted to force Christy to give up custody over Timothy so he could live with us?!”

“You said you wanted a family!”

“Not like this! Are you insane?”

“I did this for us!”

“No, no. You did it for yourself. I can’t believe- you’re trying to sabotage yourself.”

“Huh?!”

“You’re sabotaging yourself. You ran away from Christy after she proposed to you, you flirted with Sandy right in front of my eyes shortly after our proposal, and now that we’re about to get married, you pull off this… stunt. You…”

“I- I’m… You can’t…”

“You need to leave.”

“What?!”

“I want you to leave. You’re clearly not ready to commit, and I don’t think you’ll ever be. You’re afraid of commitment, and I’m not gonna deal with that.”

“Leave. Now. You can come back when- if you’re ever ready. Maybe.”

“Komei!”

“Please. Go.”

And with that, it’s over.
