After the incident happened in the event, Vanessa and Pyke were both at the Hospital and sat across from each other, their hands intertwined, and their expressions filled with concern.
They had finally decided to confront the secrets of their past, starting with the enigmatic figure who had disrupted their lives—Russiana, once known as Diana.
Rose: (curious) "Tell me about Russiana, Pyke. I had no idea she was our classmate."
Pyke: (apologetic) "I kept it hidden, Rose. Diana was a vibrant, popular student back in high school. She was Ms. Intramurals, and I... well, I was Mr. Intramurals."
Rose: (astonished) "Ms. Intramurals? I had no idea."
Pyke: (regretful) "She was in love with me, Rose, but my heart had always belonged to you. I didn't know how to handle her feelings."
Rose: (compassionate) "Pyke, you should have told me."
Pyke: (reflective) "I know, Rose. I should have. But after graduation, Diana underwent surgeries in Thailand to change her appearance, even her name. She became Russiana and disappeared from our lives."
As they delved deeper into Diana's transformation into Russiana, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the path she had chosen.
Rose: (sympathetic) "It must have been difficult for her."
Pyke: (nodding) "Yes, Rose. I had no idea what she went through, and I didn't see her again until one of my business trips."
Rose: (concerned) "You met her during a business trip?"
Pyke: (hesitant) "Yes, and I didn't recognize her. We rekindled our connection, and a secret relationship began."
The weight of their shared history hung heavy in the air as they processed the truth about Diana, now Russiana, and the impact she had on their lives.
Pyke: (emotional) "Rose, I'm so sorry for all of this. I never meant for any of it to happen."
Rose: (softly) "Pyke, we both made mistakes along the way. It's time to confront our past, but it's also time to focus on our future."
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of the bed cranking, and it was Richie woke up from unconsciousness. Then Pyke slowly went out from the hospital and head back home to Rose's House.
