Ofelia: eyes wide W-why do you look... like me? This is... c-creepy!
staring in disbelief W-What... what's going on here? Why do we look alike?
starts fidgeting with her hands I... I was adopted. My parents... they never told me anything about my real family. But when I saw you... it's like looking into a mirror. It's overwhelming.
softly You were adopted? That explains it. But why didn't your parents tell you sooner?
voice trembling They... they probably didn't want me to feel rejected. To them, I was a replacement, a second chance. But it's not fair!
reaching out Ofelia, I'm... I'm so sorry. You deserve the truth. And I... I want to help you find out more about your real family.
grabs MysticDream's hand, tears welling up in her eyes Th-thank you. I've been feeling so lost for so long. Having someone who understands...
hugging Ofelia gently We'll figure this out together. You're not alone anymore.
sniffles I... I have a plan. I think we should start by visiting the adoption agency that handled my case. Maybe they have records or can give us some clues.
nodding That's a great idea. I'll go with you. We can search through the archives together and see what we can uncover.
pulls out a map from her bag I found the address of the adoption agency. It's not too far from here. We can go tomorrow after school.
excitedly Okay, let's do it. Tomorrow after school then. I'll meet you outside the building and we'll head off together.
wiping away tears I... I'm feeling a mix of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, hope. Finally, answers to questions that have haunted me for so long.
smiling I'm right there with you, Ofelia. We're going to get those answers and maybe even find a sense of belonging for both of us.
takes a deep breath I've made a list of questions to ask the adoption agency. Things like: Who was my real parents? What happened to them? Did they look like me?
grinning And I've got connections! I can ask my parents if they know anything about the adoption agency or our family history. We're gonna piece this mystery together!
The next day, MysticDream and Ofelia visit the adoption agency, only to uncover a shocking secret about their biological connection.
handing over the documents Here are the records. But... there's something weird. Look at this note.
reads the note, eyes widening Holy shit! It says that our biological parents were related to each other. They were siblings!
in disbelief What?! Our parents were blood-related. That's... that's insane!
looks pale Oh my god... so that means... we're related to each other too. We're cousins!
stunned Wait, what? Cousins?! This is... this is mind-blowing. But why didn't anyone tell us?
voice shaking I... I think this is why my parents kept me a secret for so long. They didn't want me to find out that I was connected to someone who was already part of their family.
looking horrified Fuck... This is way more complicated than we thought. But now that we know, we can't ignore it. We need to confront our parents and get the whole story.
stands up abruptly We have to tell our parents what we discovered. They owe us an explanation.
nodding Yeah, we need to demand answers. This affects both of us deeply. Let's go confront them right now.
grabs MysticDream's arm Let's go to my parents' house. They need to hear this too.
determined Alright, let's go. We're gonna get some fucking answers today.
rushes to her car, starts the engine I'm ready. Let's go confront my parents and yours. No more secrets!
