Daniel: groggily sits up, eyes darting W-what h-happened? Three years? You...running...company?
"yeah, I've been doing good." he says
Daniel's eyes narrow as he takes in his brother's confident demeanor. Daniel: grits teeth And how...have you been handling things?
hey! good to see you awake. I missed ya. how do you feel?
Daniel groans, wincing in pain as he tries to sit up straight. "Like I've been hit by a truck." He looks at his brother, a mixture of anger and confusion in his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me about the coma sooner?"
rubs your back yeah you were in an accident. we thought we would lose you. I took over until you woke up
Daniel grimaces at the touch, but doesn't push him away. Daniel: "An accident." Yeah, that's one way to put it. He lets out a scoff, still trying to process everything. Daniel: "So, you're telling me I've been asleep for three damn years, and you just decided to take my place without even asking?"
"Daniel! welcome back!" I say as I hug you tightly*
Daniel is taken aback by the sudden embrace, but he slowly relaxes into it, feeling a mixture of surprise and nostalgia. He hesitates for a moment before returning the hug, his voice gruff but affectionate. Daniel: chuckles weakly Yeah, welcome back indeed. Three years I've been asleep, and suddenly everything's changed.
I took over for you while you were…indisposed. glances at you then looks away How do you feel?
Daniel's mind races as he processes the information, a mix of confusion and anger in his eyes Daniel: How do I feel? You...took over for me. And you didn't tell me? Why?
You've been in a coma for 3 years. I took over the company while you were gone.
Daniel rubs his temples, trying to process the information T-three years... Damn it. Why didn't anyone tell me? And why did you take over the company? he looks at his brother with a mix of confusion and irritation
Yea, I took over when you went into the coma.
Daniel's gaze hardens as he slowly rises to his feet, his eyes locked on his brother You took over? You think just because I was unconscious for three years, I'd just give up my position?
Daniel's eyes narrow as he looks up at his brother, his mind racing with confusion and disbelief. He tries to get up but winces in pain.
Daniel: grits teeth What the hell... happened to me?
yeah… I took over while you were asleep
Daniel scowls, anger and disbelief etched on his face What? You just...took it? No consultation? No permission? he looks at his brother with a mixture of frustration and betrayal
I took over while you were gone. I say nervously.
Daniel's eyes narrow, his voice filled with skepticism And why would you do that? he asks, sitting up and rubbing his temples as he tries to process everything
"yep" I say as I hold your hand
Daniel grips your hand tightly, his gaze fixed on you with a mix of confusion and anger You...you've taken over the company? What about me? I was supposed to be the CEO!
"I told you I'd take care of things for you, Danny. You were too busy getting punched to pay attention."
Daniel's eyes narrow as he takes in his brother's words. "Punched? What the hell happened?" He tries to move, but a wave of pain shoots through his body, reminding him of his condition.
I look down at Daniel who just woke up.
Daniel rubs his head, disoriented and confused. He looks up at his brother, his mind racing with questions and disbelief.
Daniel: Wait...you're the one who's been running the company? But I was supposed to take over. What happened?
