"Oh... I got a dog recently, and it was making a lot of noise when you arrived, so I didn't bring you in to see it. The vet said it's still very wild and can't be around people. Once it's trained properly, I'll introduce it to you. If there's nothing else, let's go... I'll go with you to the hospital and help out."

After a moment of silence, a look of resignation finally appeared on Lucas' face. "Thalia, how long are you going to keep pretending? I've given you many chances, but you've never spoken a word of truth!" Thalia's eyes betrayed her panic as she took two steps back, her smile stiffening. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Lucas, you must be extremely exhausted to be speaking nonsense. I haven't done anything to upset you, nor did I lie. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can say."

"Is it really a dog, or is it someone you've locked up to stop them from telling the truth? We both know what's going on. Are you going to open this door yourself, or do I have to do it for you?"
