As Alexander forcefully kicked the door open, he finally approached the boss, only to be met with an unexpected command to turn around. When she did, he was taken aback-it was his ex-girlfriend.

Alexander: (voice tight) "Seraphine... I never imagined I'd find you here."

Seraphine: (with a sly smile, arms crossed) "Surprise, Alex. It's been ages. Looks like you've made some new allies." (She gestures toward the Assassin standing protectively beside Alexander, who is glaring at her.)

Alexander: "I'm not here for a trip down memory lane. I'm here to stop you."

Seraphine: "Oh really? Do you even know what you're trying to stop, or are you just another pawn following orders?"

Alexander: "You don't get to question my decisions-not anymore."

Seraphine: (bitterness flickering in her gaze) "Funny hearing that from you. I thought you'd always be the same."

Seraphine: "History? It's more than just that. Tell me, Alex-did you even share with your new friends how we first crossed paths?"

Alexander: (pausing, unsure) "That's beside the point."

Seraphine: "Is it? Because the last I checked, you were the one with grand dreams, always wanting to 'change the world.' And look where that's led you: right back to me."

Alexander: (fury igniting in his eyes) "You betrayed me, Seraphine. You manipulated me, all for what? To rise through the ranks? To seize control of this-"

Seraphine: "I did what was necessary. You were too caught up in your ideals, Alex. This world isn't just black and white, no matter how much you wish it were."

Alexander: "So that's your justification? Power at any price?"

Seraphine: (her tone softening, voice dropping) "You used to get me... until you didn't. Or maybe you just stopped trying."

Alexander: (taking a steadying breath, voice resolute) "Seraphine, I'm not here to revisit the past. But if you obstruct me, I won't hold back."

Seraphine: "I guess you've completely forgotten, but I certainly haven't."
