Tragedy 79 - Identity

"You're not polite!" discuss Elvina without caring Amanda understands or does not understand the sentence. He was really suspicious of Amanda who had been acting strange since their meeting yesterday.
Amanda just kept quiet without answering, she glanced at Elvina's hand that gripped the movement of her hand.
Elvina's eyes moved down. He reflexively releases the grip of his hand when he sees the picture frame held by Amanda. His breathing was suddenly irregular with his heart that started pounding incoherently, his face turned pale with cold sweat that suddenly sprung out adorning his forehead.
Amanda was stunned to see Elvina's reaction. He looked towards her.
Elvina roughly pulled the picture frame Amanda held. He looked at her fixed figure in the picture frame in his hand.
Elvina speechless. He was completely speechless to describe his surprise.
Amanda glanced at Elvina and the picture frame in her hand alternated. He said, "You must be very surprised to see that, right?" Amanda's moving in another direction. His hands did not stay still, he continued to move through every object in there.
(You must be very surprised to see it, right?)
I.. this. it turns out Dorothy, she. Elvina does not believe what she sees.
In his hand. The picture frame contains a picture of young Dorothy along with three young men. Two of them are European, while one looks Asian. They smiled, wearing graduation toga with smiles engraved on their faces. They embrace each other. They seem very familiar to each other. The photo is black and white with the date engraved on the edge of the image. It says there, the date the photo was taken, about the year nine thousand hundreds. But no matter what year it must have been, because the part on that date was slightly scratched to make the number peel off.
Elvina's hand shook violently once she realized who was in the photo.
Are they not. Are they twins? thought Elvina.
"They are twins. Dorothy knows the two of then, because they were college friends. They study at one of the universities in London" explains Amanda. Elvina turned her gaze towards him, becoming more and more shocked by what she heard from Amanda.
(They are twins. Dorothy knew both of them, as they were her college friends. They studied at one of the universities in London.)
"How do you know?" ask Elvina back.
Amanda was silent for a moment. He lowered his head staring at one of Dorothy's things he had just taken off the table.
Elvina narrowed her eyes, staring in full search at Amanda.
"Because they are my target." Amanda held the object in her hand tightly before returning to face Elvina.
"Targetable?" repeated Elvina who was getting confused.
"Yeah." Amanda nodded slowly. His hand put the thing back on the table. He approached Elvina with a moving hand reaching into something from her pants pocket.
"Since you've been watching me from the beginning, then it seems that there's no other choice, other than to tell you the truth about my true identity" Amanda said in English.
Elvina looked at him. Amanda pulled out a small object like a wallet, but it was smaller in size with a logo made of metal.
