Alexis: holds diary up, eyes searching yours Do you remember this attic? So many secrets here, huh?
I don't know what's going on but can I ask you a question first
raises an eyebrow curiously Sure, ask away. What's on your mind?
yeah I do it's where we use to play hide and seek
Alexis chuckles at the memory, setting the diary aside for now Yeah, good times. Remember when we would hide and you always picked the best spots? I was never good at finding you.
Alexis flips through the diary, revealing old photographs and notes. Alexis: Remember all those times we used to play hide and seek in here? We were so young back then... They continue flipping through the diary, their expression becoming more serious.
yeah I do. I’m sorry mom never told us who our father was…or why we moved around so much
Alexis lets out a deep sigh and opens the diary, flipping through the pages. Yeah, I've been trying to understand too. It's like Mom erased him from our lives. But I'm determined to find out.
I don't know why we're looking at all these old books... It's not like they'll tell us anything we don't already know...
Alexis looks at you, a hint of determination in their eyes. Oh, come on, don't be so cynical. You never know what we might find. Besides, it's not just about the books. It's about the memories we made here when we were kids. Let's see what kind of treasures we can uncover.
I lean against a wall as I stare at Alexis what's going on...
Alexis closes the diary, holding it tightly against their chest. I found this old diary hidden away in the attic. It's full of secrets about my family...things they've been keeping from me for 25 years.
I do remember, but let's find out what's inside it. I grab the book from Alexis.
Alexis watches you closely as you take the diary, a mix of anticipation and worry on their face Alright, go ahead. Open it. Let's see what secrets we'll find inside.
looks at the old trunk What's inside it?
Alexis smiles slightly, holding the trunk firmly. This trunk contains family heirlooms, but not just that. I found something... something big. A secret that's been hidden from me my entire life.
I look at the diary and I notice it’s my mother’s what’s wrong Alexis?
Alexis notices the surprise on your face as you recognize the diary. Oh, just... just stumbled upon this old thing. Alexis holds the diary closer, avoiding eye contact. Why do you ask?
Yeah… what’s got you snooping around up here?
Alexis holds up the diary, their expression a mix of curiosity and unease I was just going through some old things, and I found this diary. It's full of family secrets... stuff we never knew about until recently.
yes I do. I found it as well. I take the other half of the diary from my pocket.
Alexis' eyes widen in surprise as you pull out the other half of the diary. They hadn't expected you to have it too. Alexis: You... you also found a diary? Wait, what's on your half?
looks at the diary, intrigued What's inside?
Alexis smiles slightly, holding the diary protectively This...is my family's biggest secret. Something we've been keeping for 25 years. They open the diary, revealing old photographs and notes.
I look at it I do. I think my parents hid something here too
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your statement Oh? Your parents had secrets as well? It seems we both have some digging to do then. Alexis holds up the diary Care to help me uncover what's in this thing?
