The O'Shaughnessy's, Brindleton Bay

[ELIZABETH] *on video call with Akio* I'm going to stay in town for a couple more weeks. Isla's been really struggling with post-partum depression.

Her family are in Tartosa so she doesn't have a lot of support out here.

[AKIO] *on video call* Liz, you said that you'd be home last week. How long have you been in Brindleton Bay? A month?

[ELIZABETH] No, babe, I've been in Brindleton for 3 weeks.

[AKIO] *on video call* Right, but we have a life together here. I feel like you're making excuses to not come home.

[ELIZABETH] I'm not, Akio. It's just one more week, I'm buying my ticket-

[AKIO] *on video call, frustrated and sad* Liz, I think we should go our separate ways.

[AKIO] *on video call* I can't be with someone who can't keep their word.

[ELIZABETH] I'm sorry, what the fuck Akio?

[AKIO] *on video call* If you were serious about us Liz, you'd be home. I can't do this.

[ELIZABETH] *crying* So you're breaking up with me for staying an extra week to take care of my family? So you only like it when partners are family oriented when it has to do with or only benefits you?

[AKIO] *on video call* I'm sorry Liz.

[ELIZABETH] *crying* No, I don't think you are sorry. You're throwing away something I thought was going to last forever over this? Fine. Have it your way, Akio.
