(Lila steps out of the train as the doors closed, her family banging on the window as Y/n and Five looked at her in shock. Yes they were happy she changed her mind but they hadn't expected her to.)
Grace: Mom!
Women: No, Lila!
Grace: Mommy!
(Lila looked at Y/n and Five, with tears in her eyes, hoping for reassurance. All Y/n could give her was a slight nod and a small smile, letting her know she did the right thing. Lila turned around to face her family, her eyes immediately landing on her daughter who looked scared. Lila leaned over and put her hand on the glass so she was face to face with Grace.)
Lila: It's okay, Love. I'll see you soon, okay?
(The train started to move as Lila's family screamed out her name. Lila ran to keep up with the train, as she talked to her family.)
Lila: Make sure you read to Gracie every night, okay?
Grace: Mommy!
Lila: And don't let the twins fight!
(Lila ran as fast as she could but the train was faster and eventually she could no longer keep up. As she watched the train pull away, she tried to keep it together.)
Lila: It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.
(She couldn't take it anymore. She fell to her knees as tears streamed down her face and she kept repeating "it's gonna be okay." Five and Y/n caught up to her and Y/n kneeled next to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.)
Y/n: You did the right thing, Lila. They're goning to be okay.
(Lila looks at Y/n.)
Lila: I did the right thing?
Y/n: (nods) They have a change to live on and have a normal life, and that's because of you.
(Lila nodded while crying harder, and she wrapped her arms around Y/n's torso, needing comfort. Y/n rested her hands lightly around Lila's shoulders, letting her cry into her shirt. Five put a comforting hand on Lila's shoulder.)
Lila: (sobbing) I hate you for this!
Five: We know.
