monologue from Video/Movie/Rebecca (2020) - could maybe be used in D&D

"Last night,I dreamt I went to Manderley again. I dreamt that where our drive once lay, a dark and tortured jungle grew. Nature had come into her own and yet the house still stood. "

"Manderley."

"Secretive and silent as it had always been."

"Risen from the dead."

"Like all dreamers, I was allowed to pass through my memory. Spanning the years like a bridge. Back to that summer in Monte Carlo when I knew nothing and had no prospects... "

"I can see the girl I was so clearly, even if I no longer recognize her. And I wonder what my life would have been without Mrs. Van Hopper. Without that job. Funny to think that the course of my existence hung like a thread upon her curiosity. If it wasn't for her, I would never have gone to Manderley... and would never have met you."

"Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again. I dreamt of Mrs. Danvers and of Rebecca. But this morning I woke up and left the dead behind. And as I sit before the mirror in our stuffy little room in Cairo, just another stop on our quest to find a real home, I can see the woman I am now. And I know that I have made the right decision... to save the one thing worth walking through flames for. Love."
