But as she was backing away, her eyes drifted towards the subject of her ire - Lincoln. And just like that, her apologetic disposition vanished without a trace, and she instantly shifted from defense to offense.

"No, you know what?! I'm not the one you should be angry at!" she snapped, walking back towards Lincoln and getting in his face. "Everything that happened to Lincoln is his fault!"

Lincoln, taken aback by Lynn's adamance, struggled to come up with a rebuttal. Not only did she actually have a point, but that hour he spent in the squirrel suit was starting to take a toll on his health. He stumbled as he stepped away from Lynn, and his temples were starting to burn with pain.

"N-no!" he uttered. "Not... not completely-"

"Yes, completely!" interrupted Lynn, jabbing him in the chest with her finger and knocking him off-kilter. "You could have corrected me when I called you a jinx. But you didn't. You carried on with that lie for a week, and now you're just reaping what you've sown. You've got nobody to blame but yourself."

[Lincoln's eyes shrink]

Lincoln: I... never thought if it like that... wow. I guess lying really is dangerous.

Lana: And its not very nice... you dont like spending time with us?

Lincoln: I do! But doesnt anyone else in this family need their own personal time too?

Luna: Yeah, but we still dedicate our time to spending time with our family. Weve done amny things for you too.

Lincoln: That's true... I guess I was just being selfish then.

Lynn: No. You weren't... you just needed a break from me.

Lincoln: Lynn!

"I... I... I..."

Lincoln started swaying back and forth. There was no way he was going to muster up the energy to argue with Lynn, when he was barely even fit enough to stand upright. He had no choice but to concede.

"I... you're right. It's my fault," he mumbled. "I... I'm sorry I made you..."

And then, he said it - a verbal bombshell that shook his family to their very core. In any other situation, he would have at least hesitated before saying something so audacious, but he was finding it increasingly difficult to organize his thoughts and filter his words. Thus, the following sentence slipped out:

"I'm sorry I made you stop loving me."

[Everyone gasped as they hugged Lincoln]
