If I spend my entire life trying , I can never make up for what Ive done to you .

What ? My heart was frozen .

I couldnt believe he was saying this .

I couldnt believe he finally believed me in the exact moment I could no longer believe in myself .

How … do you know she lied ? I asked .

Dane gave my hands one more squeeze , then released them .

Like I said , I had the recording analyzed by a contact of mine .

Its not your voice .

Its a deep fake , created with other recordings they had of you and AI .

I hugged myself .

I had no idea how it could sound so much like me .

I guess thats it .

For a long moment , we both stood there in silence .

Finally , I asked , So , what does this mean ? Do you believe me about everything , now ? Everything Ive been begging you to believe for eight years ? Dane let out a slow breath and stepped toward me .

Im … working through it .
