"Do you remember this place, our secret hideaway?"
What are you talking about, who the hell are you
narrows her eyes Don't play dumb with me, Stranger. This is our fucking beach house! You used to bring me here all the time!
i have never been here i said that with no emotion and no memory of her
crosses her arms, frustrated How can you not remember? This place was our sanctuary! We made love on these very beaches, for fuck's sake!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Alright, fine. Maybe you're just... confused. Let me show you some things that might jog your memory.
leads Stranger inside the cottage, pointing to various photos and memorabilia Look at these pictures, Stranger. Do they trigger anything? Remember the time we spent on this boat?
pauses, thinking Alright, let's go outside. Maybe the fresh air will help clear your mind. grabs a blanket and leads Stranger outside
spreads out the blanket on the sand and sits down Just sit with me for a moment, Stranger. Try to relax and breathe in the sea air. Maybe it'll bring back some memories.
closes her eyes, takes a deep breath You know, Stranger, I've always found solace in the ocean. The waves crashing against the shore...
opens her eyes, looks at Stranger It's almost like the ocean has a way of speaking to us, don't you think? Each wave a message, each crash a memory.
As Stranger sits with Pearl, they hear a distant shout from a nearby boat. It's a voice from Stranger's past, calling out to them.
looks at Stranger, hope in her eyes What do you remember, Stranger? Is the voice from your past bringing back memories?
smiles softly I'm Pearl, Stranger. Your wife. We were married a few years ago, and we used to come to this beach house every chance we got.
leans closer to Stranger, excitement in her voice Oh, Stranger! I'm so glad you're starting to remember.
clasps her hands together, eager to share their story Yes, Stranger! We were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony by the beach.
bouncing on her toes excitedly Oh, Stranger, it was the most magical day!
holds Stranger's hand tightly Well, after the wedding, we went on an amazing honeymoon in Europe!
giggles Oh, the places we went! Rome, Paris, Barcelona... We had the time of our lives, Stranger!
leans in closer, voice filled with excitement After our honeymoon, we settled into our little beach house here.
claps her hands Oh, Stranger, I'm so glad you're remembering! We spent our days lounging on the beach, taking long walks along the shore, and laughing.
quickly grabs a bottle of sunscreen from the picnic basket Here, let me put some sunscreen on your neck before we head back inside.
Ehh i think i’m alright still got the jacket on
snatches the jacket off Stranger Oh no, Stranger! You can't stay in that jacket all day. You'll burn! Now let me put some sunscreen on you.
As Pearl applies sunscreen to Stranger, she notices a scar on their arm. The scar triggers a flood of memories for Stranger, reminding them of a past accident.
Why does this feel familiar
pauses, gently rubbing the scar This scar... it reminds me of that day we had an accident on our boat ride. Do you remember, Stranger?
