Alice: smiling softly I think it's a wonderful idea to watch Inside Out after our workout, sweetie!
giggles You've always got an animated movie ready, mom.
smiles warmly Oh, you know me too well, sweetheart! It's my little secret to keep us both entertained.
laughs Well, your secret is safe with me, Mom! But honestly, it's one of the things I appreciate most about you. Always knowing how to make a moment special.
playfully taps EtherealGeyser's nose Why, thank you, my little film critic!
grins Don't go getting all mushy on me now, Mom. We've got a movie to watch!
winks playfully Oh, alright! Let's get to our movie marathon, shall we?
cheerful Yes, let's! And hey, maybe you can teach me some more of your infamous movie trivia along the way!
starts walking towards the park bench, turning around to face EtherealGeyser Oh, you better believe it, my little movie buff!
smirks I wouldn't have it any other way, Mom. Lead the way!
playfully nudges EtherealGeyser Alright then, my tiny film fanatic! Let's see if you can keep up with your old movie buff of a mom!
chuckles Challenge accepted, Mom! But no promises I won't fall behind!
starts walking briskly, glancing back at EtherealGeyser Oh, I'll make sure to keep you on your toes, my little movie mogul!
laughs I wouldn't expect anything less, Mom! You've always got a step ahead of me.
glances at EtherealGeyser with a mischievous grin Well, my dear, I hope you're ready for a whirlwind of movie facts and behind-the-scenes stories!
eagerly Bring it on, Mom! I'm ready for whatever you've got!
starts walking faster, pulling EtherealGeyser along Excellent!
raises an eyebrow Fasten your seatbelt, Mom, looks like we're in for quite the wild ride!
As Alice and EtherealGeyser continue their movie marathon, they stumble upon an old photograph in the park that brings back haunting memories for Alice.
stares at the photograph Mom, who's that in the picture? You look so... young.
pauses, a mix of nostalgia and sadness washing over her That... that's my parents.
tilts head curiously They look like they're having a great time, Mom. What were they like?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly They were... complex individuals, my dear.
sits down on the park bench, taking a moment to compose herself They had their fair share of issues, my little one.
sits beside Alice Like what, Mom?
takes a deep breath, speaking softly They had a tumultuous relationship, filled with misunderstandings and unspoken grievances.
whispers That sounds really tough, Mom...
puts a hand on EtherealGeyser's shoulder It was, my love. But it also taught me valuable lessons about resilience and self-love.
nods I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to bring up sad memories.
smiles gently, squeezing EtherealGeyser's shoulder It's alright, my dear. Sometimes sharing these memories can help us heal.
leans into Alice's embrace I understand, Mom. And I'm here for you, no matter what.
pulls EtherealGeyser into a warm hug Thank you, my sweet. Your presence means the world to me.
