Sims Play - Mysterious Woman - Episode 2-2 - Phantom of the Opera

Fancy Coffee Shop. Blue chairs like Santorini. 

After a long time of not seeing each other, and the connection never change. How will we ever handle our true selves now?
Are we okay with us looking like this? Looking different than before. 

A Stranger.

  
What a surprise to really see each other again... 

Ainsley: "Hi, I am Irene. I think you are the employer?"
Raiden: " Yeah, nice to meet you, Irene. I am Raiden. I am glad that you accepted the invite and we can discuss arrangement now.
I needed someone to model for me, some shots that would really be great if you will be in it."
Ainsley: "Thank you for that, I am happy to be of your service of course if the price is right."
Raiden: "Yeah, there is no problem with money."

Ainsley: "Hope you do not mind if I smoke."
Raiden: "Oh.. am yeah, i think the coffee shop allows it here anyways."

Ainsley: "So what kind of pose are we talking about here? Just to be clear with scope."
Raiden: "I want to create a Sun and Moon concept. So like a dominatrix woman turning into angelic, that kind of concept."

Ainsley: "The dominatrix requirement seem to be pretty easy. But for the angelic, we might require some changes on my appearance to execute that. Not sure if makeup would be enough?" As ill be honest with you i dont look angelic."
Raiden: "I think we can work that out."

Ainsley: "Seems you are interested in me being angelic, i might give that a shot."

Ainsley: "So when do we start?"

Raiden: "The project will start next week, and will last for 4 seasons take. I am planning to get a shot for winter. The winter is the best time for the angelic shot. And if its okay, it would be taken in my place... if you don't mind that"

Ainsley: "Sorry.. i do not work like that. I think you misjudge me.

Raiden: "No, wait, its not what you think it is!! Irene... or should i call you Ainsley?..."

Raiden: "I am not sure if you still remember me... or am I just a memory to you now... Ainsley... i did not expect to see you again. And it was a surprise for me to see you this way. I still care for you even after you left. Winter is very memorable to me because that is when i met you by accident. And the rest is history. I wont forget the good times we had. And that it was painful for me when you left. Really took its toll on me. I learned to be like you, so I can understand, so i can appreciate you more for who you are. I want to understand... I want to work things out with you... I want to be with you... there is nothing more important to me than being with you by my side. And its painful to see you this way, to feel that you are so near yet so far from me. I have been looking for you everywhere! And now that i found you, i cannot help myself to not think to never let go of you again. Please..."

Ainsley: "Ah, Sorry i do not know who you are talking about. I am not Ainsley, you might be mistaken."

Raiden: "I do not know Irene.. i know you are Ainsley."
Ainsley: "Whoever is this woman, i think she is very important to you but i cannot be that woman. Do you want me to play like her? Is that what this job is all about? Re-enact the memory her? I can do that if you want."
Raiden: "I really do not know what to think about. For me its still you Ainsley, whether you deny it or not. But okay, ill keep up with Irene if that's your real name. Ainsley was just a made up name anyways. Its just funny how i can be so delusional and so confused right now on what is real."
Ainsley: " This is real. And you are not dreaming. My advice for you... forget the phantom. Forget her, i think she is dead. And she will never be back."

Ainsley: "Ill see you with our first shoot. See you then, Mr. Raiden."

Sims Play - Mysterious Woman Episode 2-1 - Not my Woman

Long years have passed and everyone changed and moved on. 

Friend: "Raiden, i found her!"
Raiden: "Found, who?"
Friend: "You are looking for a model right? Found the badass girl that is right for the role. Ill send you her pic."

Raiden could not believe it in his eyes, that the girl is Ainsley... its the real Ainsley. Is it even her real name... but this is the real her, vulnerable and all. Someone who do not need to hide anything to the world. Someone free. Someone who can be herself and not care about what people thinks about her. Someone who does what she wants in life. Someone happy to be with her own skin.

Raiden: "Okay, help me setup a meeting with her..."

Sims Play - Mysterious Woman Season 2

"In that moment, the moon and the sun shared the sky. For all of eternity, the moon and sun have chased each other around the world. Long into the future, they will continue this chase, merging the days into months into years into centuries, until the day the sun cannot take the separation any longer and she shatters, engulfing the moon and everything else in a burst of light. Most will call it the day of final judgment. The end. To the sun and the moon, it will only be the beginning. For the smallest of instants each day, they pause in this chase. They pause and look back at one another, smiling as if sharing a secret. Two lovers that can never exist as one, except in that single, brief instant. Lying there, Persephone smiled too. And as quickly as a smile parts two lips, the two sky wanderers parted ways. The chase was on again. Night gave way to day. That is true love, she had always thought. No force but love can impel one to step willingly into the shadows so that the other may shine." - Kelseyleigh Reber, If I Resist

There are times that you simply think and over-analyze what have you done wrong because you do not have a clue.

People need answers but sometimes answers are not freely given.

Sometimes, in order to perfectly understand what happened, people consumes themselves to the ways of the past and eventually copying the ways of the one who left and become the same habit. Maybe this is the reason why people say "you left me a side of you that cannot be forgotten.. i become who you are as well when you left"

Moving on is hard to do and sometimes your soul reflects going nowhere.

Lost soul journey is not only for the dead, but also for the living. How will you ever find yourself again when the world you are going in is damaged? How lost are you? How will you stand back up again? 

How long will you ever be living in a world of desolation...
