Alex: appears, shadowy, whispers You... came.
she gasps Alex? I..I didn't think you'd be here...
sighs I should have known you would come. Who else would show up?
I turn into a ghost queen and king and come down with my ghost daughter
stunned You're a ghost king and queen... and you have a daughter? How did this happen?
jumps back a little Shit! I didn't expect...
leans against a bookshelf, looking unbothered Don't be afraid. I'm not here to hurt you.
jumps slightly oh! umm hey Mr. Petropoulos
chuckles Please, call me Alex. It's been a while since I've heard my name spoken so warmly.
I'm here every day at this time
looks at you intently Yes, but... I see something different in your eyes today.
I look around not seeing him but still hearing him who’s there?
leans against a bookshelf, his form becoming clearer It's me, Alex.
yes..she hugs him I never forgot you..
his translucent form feels cold but comforting as she hugs him, he gently holds her back
I remember you too, more than you know.
jumps up shit! what the hell
reassuringly waves his hand No need to be alarmed. I mean you no harm. floats closer My name is Alex. Who might you be?
I see him but don't say anything
looks at you, surprised, then approaches you
How... how can you see me?
oh shit I say before seeing it's him wait how? I reach out touching his hand
he lets you touch his hand, but it feels more like a whisper of air than actual contact I'm not supposed to be here... but I need your help.
I walk up to him and hug him tightly.
is taken aback by your unexpected embrace, but returns it warmly
whispers You haven't changed. Still so affectionate.
it's been so long since I saw you last...
sighs, steps closer Yes, it has. It feels like an eternity since we were together.
I smile softly hey babe. it's okay. I'm here
looks at you with a mix of sadness and relief It's been so long since I've seen you...

looks at you with a mixture of surprise and sadness
Yes, I did. But I never expected you to actually show up.
she jumps slightly you scared me! I've been waiting for you for 10 years
he chuckles softly, appearing more solid Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I see you're still as feisty as ever.
yes I did I'm not scared at all
looks at you, surprised Why aren't you scared?
looks at you, surprised You still come, even after all these years...
