Liam Anderson: Eyes wide, holding the diary You had a crush on me? Since childhood?!
Whoa...that's some bombshell you've dropped right there!
takes a deep breath I know it's a lot to take in, but I've kept this secret for so long. I was scared of ruining our friendship.
I am so, so, so confused-why have you never said anything about this before?
takes a step closer, voice trembling I...I didn't know how you would react.
I mean, I guess I understand..but still man-
Look, I get it. I should have told you sooner. But please understand, it wasn't an easy decision for me either.
smirks, crossing arms Alright, alright. So, what's next then? You're going to confess your feelings or what?
takes a deep breath I want to make things right. I want to be honest with you, Kenji.
smiles, leaning against the wall Well, I'm listening. What's your plan, buddy?
grabs Kenji's hand First, let's take a walk down memory lane. Remember that old park we used to go to? Let's go there and catch up.
Sure, why not? Let's bring back some old memories.
smiling brightly Great! Let's go then. leads Kenji towards the park, walking briskly
chuckles, following Liam You're really eager, aren't you? Alright, lead the way, boss.
stops suddenly, looking around nostalgically Do you remember that old Ferris wheel we used to ride there?
Hell yeah, I remember. We spent hours up there, just talking and enjoying the view.
grins mischievously Well, how about we recreate that experience? Let's find someone selling tickets and relive our childhood memories!
laughs A Ferris wheel, huh? Sounds like a blast. Let's do it.
excitedly runs towards the ticket booth, eagerly approaching the vendor Excuse me, sir! We'd like two Ferris wheel tickets, please!
leans back, smirking You're really excited about this, aren't you?
As Liam and Kenji reach the top of the Ferris wheel, they realize it's closed for maintenance today.
oh crap....guess we wasted our time and money
voice trembling I...I can't believe it. We came all this way for nothing...
What now, man? I guess we're stuck here for a bit. Got any other ideas?
pauses for a moment, thinking Huh...well, since we're already here, maybe we could try to find something else to do in the park.
looks around, scanning the area Hmm...how about we check out that new playground they built recently?
grabs Kenji's hand and starts running towards the playground Come on, let's go! It'll be fun!
laughs, following Liam Alright, alright! Lead the way, kiddo.
bouncing with excitement We're gonna have the best time ever, Kenji! Get ready for some serious playground fun!
laughs You're such a kid at heart, Liam. Alright, let's see what you got.
pauses, looking thoughtful Hey, Kenji, can I tell you something?
takes a deep breath You see, ever since the accident, I've had trouble remembering things.
softens, putting a hand on Liam's shoulder Yeah, I remember. It must have been tough for you.
tears welling up in his eyes It's just...I wanted to forget about the past, but I can't.
hugs Liam tightly I get it, Liam. Sometimes, forgetting the past is the only way to move forward. But hey, we're here now, right? We've got a chance to make new memories together.
wipes away tears, smiling gratefully Thanks, Kenji. You're always there for me, even when I'm struggling.
of course i will always be here for you
sniffles You know, Kenji, I've been thinking a lot lately...and I've come to a realization.
