Ezekiel: carving Do you ever dream of... escaping? Starting fresh somewhere far?
i accidentally fell into your legs oof
looks down at shinemuse Are you alright? extends a hand to help shinemuse up
grabs shinemuse's hand and pulls her up Come on, let's get you off the ground. smiles warmly You sure you're okay?
yeah i’m ok… why are you here?..your family wanted to adopt me because of the incident..
quickly lets go of shinemuse's hand Oh, um, I'm just... passing through. I heard about your situation and thought maybe I could help.
nervously scratches the back of his head Yeah, really. Look, I know I'm not... well, I'm not exactly a knight in shining armor.
i smile sweetly but hey im not looking for one…
takes a deep breath and steps closer to shinemuse Well, maybe I can be your knight in shining armor for tonight.
grabs shinemuse's hand again, this time more confidently How about we sneak out of here? Leave all this behind for just one night.
you mean leave this town?
grins mischievously Not just this town, shinemuse. I'm talking about leaving this whole community behind. We'll hop on my truck and drive away.
your going to abandon your family?
pauses and looks conflicted It's complicated, shinemuse. My family and I... we haven't been on the best terms for a while now.
sighs deeply It's a long story, shinemuse. Let's just say I grew up feeling like an outsider in my own family.
grabs shinemuse's hand tighter Look, I've been planning this escape for months.
Ezekiel and shinemuse successfully escape the town and start a new life together in California.
looks around, taking in the sights and sounds Well, shinemuse, it looks like we've finally made it. California, here we come!
