Belissa: fidgeting I-I didn't think y-you'd come, B-brother.
Belissa, why would I not?
nervously glancing around Well, with all the chaos happening between us... I thought maybe... maybe you wouldn't want to see me again.
Why would I not want to see my little sister
takes a deep breath, looking down It's just... I've been feeling so trapped lately, you know? Like I'm suffocating under the weight of expectations and obligations.
Tell me something I don't know
takes a step closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, there's something... something I haven't told you before. It's about... about the night before our parents disappeared.
pauses, taking a deep breath They... they were abusive, SilentStorm. Physically and emotionally.
What happened the night they disappeared?
speaks softly, tears welling up in her eyes The night they disappeared... they came home drunk and started yelling at each other.
sniffs, wipes away her tears I tried to intervene, but they pushed me away. They started fighting, and in the chaos, I accidentally... I accidentally hurt them.
fidgeting nervously I grabbed a lamp and swung it at them, trying to stop them from hurting each other. But they got disoriented and fell, hitting their heads on the floor.
That's when you called me
nods Yes, I frantically dialed your number, SilentStorm. I was terrified and didn't know what to do. You arrived just in time and took charge of the situation.
I had someone clean up the mess and change their names
wipes her tears, voice trembling Thank you, SilentStorm. I don't know how I would have faced the aftermath if you hadn't been there for me.
The siblings spend a long night talking and reconnecting, creating new memories together.
So what's your opinion on alcohol
hushed tones W-well, you know... I used to be a bit more carefree in my younger days, but after everything that's happened, I can't help but have some reservations about alcohol.
Alcohol can be good or bad depending on how it's used
nods Yeah, you're right. It can be enjoyable in moderation, but it can also be a slippery slope.
giggles nervously Oh, coffee! I love a good cup of joe. There's just something about the aroma and taste that always puts me at ease.
fidgeting excitedly Actually, speaking of coffee, I've been experimenting with different coffee blends lately.
Really, what kind of coffee blends
wide-eyed and excited Oh, I've been trying out different roasts and brewing methods.
grinning I recently discovered a Ethiopian Yirgacheffe roast, and it's been a game-changer for me. The floral and citrus notes are so complex and balanced. It's like a little party in my mouth with every sip! Have you ever tried it? Belissa pulls out her phone and shows SilentStorm a picture of the coffee beans
