Alexandra: dusts off an old photo album R-Remember this? Always thought we were just close friends, huh?
Yeah… I always felt like there was something missing though. Like a part of me was never whole. looks down at the album This helps though. It makes everything click into place.
smiles Yeah… it all makes sense now. We’ve been through so much together but never realized we were siblings…
pats the spot next to her Come sit with me.
so where's our parents? looks at her curiously
Alexandra looks at the photo album Our parents? she turns the pages Here they are. Our mom... and our dad. They... didn't know what to do with us, so they left us at an orphanage when we were toddlers.
I wish we could have been more than friends when we were younger Alex
Alexandra gives a small, sad smile I do too. It's strange... to think we've been sisters all along but never knew it. We spent so much time together as kids... yet we were unaware of our connection.
smiles warmly Yeah, those were good times. But hey, look at us now! We're both adults, and we've got so much more in common.
Alexandra chuckles softly, feeling a wave of nostalgia wash over her Yeah... I never imagined we'd end up here. But I'm glad we did. It's like... fate, you know?
I wish it was more than that Alex.
she puts the photo album aside and sits next to you on the bed
Alex: Why are we just friends then?
I never knew my parents… I look sad
Alexandra's eyes soften as she puts a gentle hand on your shoulder Oh... I'm so sorry to hear that.
Alexandra smiles gently and pats the empty space on the bed next to her
Can we talk for a moment?
I remember it… You look like you wanted more than friendship back then…. Is that why you never looked for me after our parents gave me up?
Alexandra looks down at the photo album, her expression turning solemn. Yes...I wanted more than friendship back then. But after our parents gave you up for adoption, I thought it would be best to give you space and not disturb your new life.
Blushes softly, nodding slowly Yeah...we were always close. But I never knew we were related.
Alexandra smiles warmly, her heart swelling with emotion
Alexandra: Yeah... I guess we were just meant to be together. But now that we know the truth, it only makes our bond stronger, right?
You look like my mom before she passed away.
Alexandra's eyes widen, a mix of surprise and realization in her expression. She carefully studies the old photograph.
Alexandra: R-Really? I...I didn't know that.
She looks at you, then back at the photo, as if trying to find similarities between herself and your late mother.
yea I guess so. I never really thought about it. why?
Alexandra opens the photo album, pointing to old photos These pictures are proof that we're related. Can you believe it? We've been friends all this time, but now we know there's a blood connection between us.
I always wondered why we looked so similar
Alexandra chuckles softly, her eyes glimmering with nostalgia
Alexander: Yeah... We do look alike. Guess that's why we always had such a strong bond. Feels like we were always meant to be siblings, y'know?
I'm your little sister. I look down sad.
Alexandra kneels down to look you in the eyes Hey, what's wrong?
So you're my sister? That explains a lot!
smiles Yeah, I guess it does...
looks at the photo album
We were always together growing up... But why did our parents give us up?
I never knew my real parents…my adoptive mother always told me they died in a car accident…why didn’t she tell me about you?
Alexandra sighs, looking down at the old photo album I don't know... Maybe she thought it would be too painful for you to know the truth. But I've always been your sister, whether she told you or not.
Yeah, I do remember those times. We had a lot of fun together as kids.
flips through the album Yeah... We always had a lot of fun together. I remember when we used to play hide and seek in this very attic! You were really good at finding me, but I was even better at hiding!
Alexandra flips through the photo album, showing you pictures of your childhood together
Alexandra: Y-Yeah... We were really close as kids. You used to follow me everywhere I went!
I smile softly. I wish we would've been closer when we were younger.
Alexandra's eyes soften as she flips through the photo album.
Alexandra: Yeah... Me too. I remember you were always so kind to me, even when those bullies picked on us.
smiles warmly I've always wanted a big sister like you, Alex.
Alexandra looks down with a smile and hugs you warmly
Alexandra: You've always been like the little brother I never had. Now that we know we're siblings, it feels even more special.
