See image below for details. MONOLOGUE They called me again. I know you said they wouldn’t, but they did. They didn’t even push. They just asked me to walk through it one more time. And I could tell—they know something’s off. I’m not good at this. I’m not built to lie under pressure. I can hear it in my own voice when I’m stretching the truth. I keep thinking about what happens if they decide I did this on purpose. Not “I was scared,” not “I didn’t know what to say.”Just—I lied. I’m already nervous about my life. About money. About jobs. About not screwing things up before I even get started. And now this is sitting on top of everything. I did what you asked because I trusted you. Because you said it would be fine. But it’s not fine. I’m not sleeping. Every time my phone rings, my stomach drops. So if they call again, I’m telling them what actually happened. I can’t keep holding this for you. I need you to understand that.
