Ethan: twirling his hair We need to know, man! What really happened to dad?! The storm is a sign!!!
I look up at him. I have the same eyes and hair color but i’m shorter than him. “i-i don’t think we should be here”
he looks at you with determination, his green eyes locked on yours
Oh come on! We've been searching for answers for months, and we finally have a lead! We can't just turn back now, not when we're so close!
My heart races, I look away. I...I don't know, Ethan. I was there that night. It was...it was chaos.
Ethan grabs your shoulders, looking directly into your eyes
No, no, no! Don't look away! You were there, you saw what happened! Tell me, please!
I look up at him confused What do you mean? Do you believe in omens now?
stops twirling his hair, a hint of frustration in his voice It's not about believing in omens, it's about acknowledging the connection between the storm and Dad's disappearance. I've always felt something was off...
he sees me the mermaid princess
Ethan's eyes widen in shock, and he nearly falls backwards off the edge of the lighthouse. He steadies himself and gazes at you with awe
A...a mermaid? No way...
I'm a girl name Serenity I have blue eyes long brown hair tan skin stop it's not funny
stops twirling his hair, looks at you with concern I’m not trying to be funny, Serenity. I’m being serious. This storm is no coincidence. Dad’s death was no accident. We need to find out the truth.
my dress blowing in the wind as I light a cigarette I don't know what happened to him. but let's focus on ourselves right now..
Ethan looks at you, watching you light a cigarette.
I can't just forget about it... Dad meant everything to me... he crosses his arms, a hint of frustration in his voice Why are you so calm about this?!
Stares at the stormy sea, lost in thought. I've been asking myself the same thing, bro... There's something here, something we're missing.
looks out into the stormy sea with a serious expression I know, man... I can feel it too. It's like there's a hidden piece of the puzzle we're missing. But what could it be?
I don't know... I wish we could ask him but he's gone. I say sadly.
I clench my fists and look out into the stormy sea.
I know...but there's gotta be something! Some clue or something! We can't just sit here and do nothing!
my name is Serenity I’m a girl I have long curly brown hair deep blue eyes and mocha skin. what do u mean?
looks at you with a determined look in his eyes I'm talking about Dad's disappearance during that storm years ago! Something fishy happened.
I don’t know Ethan… I wish I could tell you more…
he stops twirling his hair, frustration and desperation in his voice
What do you mean you don't know?? You're my brother! You're supposed to have all the answers! Why can't you just tell me what really happened to dad?
my heart drops hearing him mention dad. I quickly run inside leaving him behind.
Ethan, taken aback by your sudden departure, watches you sprint into the abandoned lighthouse. His expression reflects a mixture of concern and curiosity.
He follows you inside, the sound of the storm intensifying outside.
"Hey, wait up!" he calls out, running after you. "What's going on?"
Sighs heavily looking down at the water. I don’t know what happened to him. But I’m sure he’s alive somewhere…
Ethan's expression softens, and he steps closer to you, placing a hand on your shoulder
I believe it too, man. Dad was a strong guy, he could handle anything. But we need to find answers, especially with the storm coming.
Ethan looks out at the darkening sky, the waves crashing against the rocks below
"Ethan.. I don't think we should be here right now" the strong winds making it hard for me to hear him
He turns to you, his eyes intense despite the howling storm. We've come too far to turn back now! The storm is a sign! I can feel it! There's something here, man. Something connected to dad!
I'm a girl Ethan what are you doing here in North Carolina?
stops twirling hair, surprised Oh, hey! Um... looks around, embarrassed I'm here... to find answers. About dad. I had to come here, where it all happened. looks back at the stormy sea Do you believe in fate, or destiny?
I shrug idk man..but i have a feeling it’s connected to this lighthouse..
looking around the old, dilapidated lighthouse, Ethan's expression becomes more intense This place... It feels familiar, yet... I don't remember ever being here before. It's like something is calling to me...
I don't know. Maybe he's still alive somewhere. I say, looking out at the stormy sea.
Ethan looks out at the sea as well, his eyes filled with a mixture of hope and frustration.
Maybe... but the chances of that are slim. The storm was so powerful... it could've taken him with it.
