Lyla: wipes tears Why didn't they tell me sooner?! What else don't I know?
I stand up from my crouched position What did they say?
Lyla takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down They said that I have a...a cousin. A renowned scientist. He's been looking for me for years.
I am sorry for everything that happened to you.
looks at you with a mix of sadness and confusion I don't understand... Why did my family keep this secret from me? I have the right to know who I am!
I wipe away my own tears i... i... d... dont k.... know
looks at you, still wiping away her tears What do you mean you don't know? You're my family, right? Shouldn't you have known about this too?
I wipe away my own tears. we're sisters.
Lyla's eyes widen in disbelief. Sisters?! Wait...you're my sister?! Lyla steps closer to you, her heart racing. But how? Why didn't anyone tell me?!
Don’t worry we will find out together
Lyla nods, still tearful but determined Lyla: Okay, let's start by talking to my aunt. She might have some answers. Where is she?
Oh my god, it can’t be. You’re my sister!
freezes for a moment, trying to process the information
Wait, what? Sister? What do you mean?
“I’m not even sure. But I do have one clue”
leans forward, eyes wide with curiosity A clue? What is it?
"I am not entirely sure." I say wiping my eyes.
Lyla clenches her fists, frustration and confusion mixing on her face
Lyla: This is all so confusing. I can't believe they kept this secret from me for so long. Why would they do that?
Whoa whoa hold up. Let's start from the beginning. You're telling me that this place...is my home? And these people...they're my family?
nods Yes, this island is where you grew up, and these people are your family. Your aunt found you here many years ago when you were just a child, and she has been taking care of you ever since.
woah what happened here. where am i??
You're on a deserted island. You've been here for quite some time. But first, are you okay? You look dazed.
I am currently fishing who are you. where am i?? why can’t I remember anything!!
looks at you with a mix of confusion and concern Who am I? Where am I? You don't remember anything? comes closer Can you tell me your name at least?
I look at the old woman holding her hand can we go somewhere quiet to talk?
nods and follows you
Lyla: sniffles Yes, please. I need to understand this.
I hug my knees holding back tears So now what?
Lyla sits beside you, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. Lyla: I don't know... But we'll figure it out together. We have each other now. She looks out at the sea, trying to keep herself composed.
"I have no idea. maybe they were scared, or maybe they didn't know." I say, hugging her. "We'll figure it out together."
she hugs you back tightly, burying her face in your shoulder Lyla: But why me? I'm just... me. Who am I? Why am I here? What happened before I ended up here?
I am sitting on a beach, under a palm tree. I have a pair of binoculars around my neck.
Lyla approaches you, still visibly upset
Excuse me, sir... Can I ask you something?
why am I here? I asked looking around
Lyla looks at you with a mixture of surprise and curiosity You don't remember how you ended up here?
I'm walking along the beach when I find a bikini-clad woman crying on the sand. Hey! Are you alright!?
sniffles H-hello... I... I don't know if I'm alright. looks up at you with tear-stained eyes
