Ethan: tapping fingers Do you... r-remember this place? Feels like a... a ghost town, doesn't it?
Ethan: glancing at Suitemma nervously Look, Suitemma, I need your help with something important. We need to find out... why did my replacement show up 20 years ago? Can you... help me with that?
Ethan: takes a deep breath It's... complicated. But if there's anyone who can help me figure this out, it's you. You were there... back then.
Ethan: steps closer to Suitemma Look, I know we've had our differences, but I trust you more than anyone else. Please... please help me.
Ethan: relieved Thank you, Suitemma. It means a lot to me that you're willing to help.
well let’s go inside your old house
Ethan: nods Sure, let's go. leads Suitemma inside the old house This place... it feels so familiar, yet so strange at the same time.
do you know where all the clues are?
Ethan: pauses for a moment, thinking Clues... well, there might be some in the attic. That's where we used to hide things... secret things.
Ethan: leads Suitemma up the creaky stairs to the attic Here... this is where we used to... hesitates
Ethan: takes a deep breath Where we used to hide our secrets. We had a hidden compartment in the attic, behind a loose floorboard. That's where...
I open the floorboard and find a box
As Suitemma opens the box, a cloud of dust settles over them. Coughing, they realize that the box contains... old, decaying photographs of Ethan and Suitemma's twin brother, accompanied by disturbing notes and letters.
Ethan: voice trembling Those notes... they were written by my brother. He... he was trying to... pauses, struggling to find the words
Ethan: takes a deep breath He was trying to explain... why he had to disappear. He knew something was coming... something that would put us all in danger.
Ethan: paces anxiously We need to find out what happened... Suitemma. I can't bear the thought of not knowing. Please, help me.
Ethan: stops pacing, hopeful Thank you, Suitemma. I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you. We'll face whatever is out there together.
Ethan: paces nervously W-we need to start by talking to people who were close to us back then. Maybe they have some answers, some clue that can lead us to the truth.
Ethan: quickly pulls out a notebook and starts flipping through the pages Okay, we need to talk to... our old neighbors, the mailman...
what about our old friends
Ethan: eyes lighting up with determination Our old friends! Yes, yes, we definitely need to talk to them. They knew us best, they might have some insights...
Ethan: grabs Suitemma's arm and pulls her towards the door Let's go, Suitemma! Time is of the essence. We can't waste a single moment.
Ethan: rushes outside, scanning the surroundings There's an old coffee shop down the street. It's been abandoned for years, but...
Ethan: grabs Suitemma's arm and starts walking briskly But I remember my brother used to meet there with his friends.
As Ethan and Suitemma make their way to the old coffee shop, they notice strange symbols spray-painted on the walls. Ethan's heart races as he recognizes the symbols... they are the same ones from the note they found in the attic.
Ethan: stuttering, eyes wide with fear I-I don't know, Suitemma, b-but those symbols... they're the same ones from the note. It's like...
Ethan: pauses, takes a deep breath Like someone is sending us a message. A warning, maybe. We need to be careful, Suitemma.
Ethan: grabs Suitemma's arm and pulls her towards the coffee shop We need to find out who painted these symbols. Maybe they have answers...
Ethan: burst into the coffee shop, scanning the room Excuse me, anyone here? We're looking for a group of people, our old friends...
