Sorin pulled into the apartment complex parking lot, and put his car in park. He sighed, and turned off the engine, exiting the vehicle. He gave a look at Steve, and then headed up the steps inside. He approached her door, and stopped, crossing his arms. "I don't know if I can do this..." He said.
His eyes began to well up once more, and he shook it off.
He then slowly pressed his finger against the doorbell, and put his hands in his pockets awaiting an answer.

Steve nods. "I'm right there behind you. All we got to do is just tell her is all."
This was really a lot harder than he thought.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Marcella got up from the couch to see who it was. Looking through the peephole, she could see that it was Steve and Sorin, it was always great company when they came around so Marcella suspected nothing of it.
Opening the door, Marcella greeted them with a small smile, "Hey you two! What's up?" Looking at their faces, she could tell that something was bothering them, this wasn't their normal behavior.
"What's wrong? You two look like you seen a ghost! C'mon in. Can I offer you guys anything to drink? Eat maybe?" She allowed them into her home, before walking into the kitchen to make herself and her company glasses of water.

Marcella immediately offered them drinks and food, as any generous host would. Sorin shook his head, "No.." But before she could listen, she was off to the kitchen. He followed her, and took her hands. "Marcella... You need to sit down..." He said, before bringing her to the living room, and sitting her down in the couch.
"Anna was kidnapped.... and.. Um.." His eyes started watering. "We saved her, but... The woman... She's fucking insane... She... Something happened to Mari, and she tried to kill Steve... But Uncle Chris stood in the way..." His heart was breaking, and he was crying at this point.
"Chris wasn't physically ready for that fight... and...." He started sobbing. "He's gone, Marcella..." He wiped his eyes. "We went in half cocked, and he died, and I'm so sorry...! It's all my fault, we should have waited for Daniel and Lei to return, but we didn't and now... He's gone...!!!" He fell to his knees. "I'm so sorry...." He took her hands.

Steve sat down, not expecting Sorin to confess the whole thing. He had to ease into it slowly. But he went ahead and ripped the band-aid.
"We're all extremely sorry for this. All of us are to blame. This whole plan backfired. But we're going to save Marilyn. We'll get her back."

When Sorin rushed to bring her over to the couch, Marcella knew that this was something serious. And judging by the look on their faces, this wasn't good at all.
Sorin began to explain the situation to her, and she could see the tears well up in his eyes. D-did something happen to Chris? Her grip on his hand tightened as he continued his story.
Deep down though, Marci didn't want him to. Then, the words that Marcella never in a million years wanted to hear came true. Chris..he's dead?! He can't be...
Tears fell down her face as she ripped her hand away from Sorin, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN HE'S DEAD!?" She yelled practically at the top of her lungs.
She refused to believe it, "No, no, no, no.. THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!" Marcella yelled as she pushed the vases and things that elegantly dressed the dining table onto the floor, with a shattering crash.
This wasn't supposed to happen at all! She and Chris were going to get married, have children, travel the world and live their life together, this wasn't a part that plan!
Her eyes blurred from the tears that kept falling, as she practically destroyed her own home, she was devastated and didn't know any other way to express it.
Finally, after the decorations were forced onto the floor, Marcella couldn't take anymore and collapsed onto the floor to her knees in tears and in pain. Her sobs could be heard as her heart cried out...
She didn't know what else to do at this point. All she wanted to do was kick and scream, she was angry and upset that the ONLY person that she loved was carelessly ripped away from her so early, and at the prime of their relationship with officially starting a family...

Sorin couldn't watch as she broke most of her household decorations. She was upset, and rightfully so. Chris was the love of her life. He quietly went over to her, and pulled the grieving woman into his arms, holding her tight. He didn't know what to say, what to even feel... He had never dealt with death easily. He was always the one in deep loss. He held her, continuing to cry himself. He did what his adoptive mother always did for him when he was sad... He stroked her hair, quietly humming an old Romanian lullaby to her. He was trembling, as the words flowed from him. LULLABYAs he sang, he rocked her back and forth, crying. None of this was fair, and none of this was ever supposed to happen. His heart broke, for Marcella. He felt so guilty over the passing of his uncle, he couldn't even hide it.

Marcella destroyed her furniture and everything as Steve stood back and watched. Once again, he barely knew the guy, so his death didn't impact him as much as the rest of the family. However, he was starting to feel sad. Watching everyone get angry and get sad, made him furious.
All Steve could do is watch and stood silently. They definitely had to stop Lillian before she breaks this family even more.
"We're gonna get that bitch. She will pay."

Marcella felt arms wrap around her body and held her close, it was Sorin and it was exactly what she needed right now. She wanted this to be some form of bad dream, or nightmare and someone to wake her up but something told her that this was real.
There was nothing fake about this. Upon the realization, Marcella covered her face with her hands and sobbed, she felt so helpless, could she have done something to change the outcome??
Maybe had she been there, Chris would be alive right now.
She sat in silence, cradled in Sorin's grip as he hummed a soft lullaby to calm her spirits. As soothing as it was, deep down Marcella knew that there was nothing that could be done to bring back Chris..

Sorin lifted Marcella's face up to look at him. "Listen to me... Steve's right..." He back up and little, still on his knees, facing Marcella on an eye to eye level. "We're gonna get this bitch.... We're going to make her pay for this... She's a monster, no better than the Mishimas... God, No better than Johanna..."
He sighed. "Do you want me to stay here..? Or... is there anything we can do for you..? At all..?" He asked her.

Steve stayed silent as he didn't know what to say or what to do. He let Sorin and Marcella have their moment. The best he could do is stand there and wait. And figure out Lillian's next move.

Marcella didn't say anything to Sorin, but, the thought of him leaving her at such a vulnerable state seem daunting. She clutched onto him, not wanting to let him go, and buried her face into his chest, her tears soaking his shirt.
"N-no.." She managed to say through her cries, "I want you to stay here with me..."

Sorin nodded. "Um... Steve.." He gave Steve his car keys. "You can go back to my apartment if you want... I'll text you the code. Um..." He looked down at Marcella, and hugged her. "Just check on Anna for me, please..." He said. He got Marcella up, and on the sofa. He then went and start cleaning up the mess that was made.

Steve nodded as he took the car keys, thanking Sorin for letting him leave. Steve felt a bit awkward and out of place, and agreed that he would go check up on Anna and see how she's doing.
"I'll see you later, then." He sends Sorin a wave before heading out to his car and returning to G-Corporation to check on Anna.

It was early the next morning, Marcella barely slept the night if any at all. She practically cried herself to sleep when she could, and when she was up all she could think about was Chris.
This was going to be a tough pill to swallow. Not having Chris around is going to be a rough adjustment, but, this is her life now and she has to deal with it whether she liked it or not.
Getting up, she went to go refresh herself in the bathroom. Once she was finished, she walked into the kitchen to make herself some tea, it was hard for her because everywhere she went it reminded her of Chris.
