Elena: taps fingers Do you even realize what this means?! It's like everything we knew is a lie!
she raises an eyebrow
Oh, really? You've known for years and never bothered to tell me? How long have you known, exactly?
I shrug my shoulders I guess so.
her eyes narrow You guess so? That's it? You don't care that we've been living a lie this whole time?!
I stop dead in my tracks Wait...what? Switched at birth? Are you serious?
Elena crosses her arms and glares at you
Of course I'm serious! We just found out that we're not biological sisters. Can you believe it? The two of us have been living under false pretenses for our entire lives!
I'm a girl btw. I've known for years..
Elena stops tapping her fingers and looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion
Wait, you've known for years? Why didn't you say anything?
I shrug. maybe. I don’t really care.
Elena raises an eyebrow in disbelief
You don't care? Really? You don't care that we're not blood-related? That our entire lives have been built on a lie?
huh? I have no idea what you're talking about. I was adopted by my parents because they couldn't have kids, so I never really felt like I belonged there.
Elena crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow skeptically.
Really? You've got no clue? And here I thought you were paying attention in our family meetings. We literally just found out that we were switched at birth!
I’m male well… I always felt like something was off about me… now I know what it is.
nods Yeah, same here... The fact that we grew up together but are different species... It's all so crazy.
Do you have any idea who our biological parents could be?
I know. I sit down on the couch.
Elena follows you and sits down beside you, still visibly frustrated
So, we're both not biological sisters? Who are our real parents, then? And why did they do this to us?
she looks at youwhat do you mean?
raises an eyebrow What do I mean? Are you serious right now? We're not biological sisters! How can you be so nonchalant about this?!
I hug her tightly I'm so sorry you had to find out like this...
she reluctantly hugs you back, still upset
Don't apologize. This isn't your fault. But... she sighs, pulling away
...can we at least talk about this? Like, sit down and have a serious conversation?
I shrug. "So our parents aren't actually related to us? That's... weird."
taps fingers more rapidly This isn't just 'weird'! Our whole lives have been turned upside down! We could be related to completely different people now. Don't you care about finding out who our real families are?
