Emily: pacing around Sis, what the hell happened?! This place is like a bad horror flick!
I don't know what happened really
runs up to Scott, grabbing his arm Look, I need some straight-up answers, dude! You can't just drop this bombshell on me and expect me to be cool with it!
look at me how could you forget me?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Forget you? Are you kidding me? You're my brother, you're always gonna be a part of my life!
when was the last time you talked to me?
pauses, looking guilty Alright, you got me. I've been busy with school and work, alright?
but that doesn't excuse everything
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Scott's eyes Look, I'm sorry, okay? I should have been there for you!
you should have been there for me
grabs Scott's hand, pulling him towards the door Come on, let's get out of this creepy place! We need to talk somewhere more normal.
smirks We're going to the local diner, where we used to hang out as kids. Remember those times?
nods, leading Scott towards the door Yeah, the diner!
grabs her phone and keys, putting them in her pockets Let's make a quick stop at my place first.
opens the door, letting sunlight stream in Welcome home, bro! It's been a while since I've seen you here. Scott: looks around the living room, taking in the familiar surroundings Yeah, it hasn't changed much.
As they catch up, Emily reveals that she has been secretly helping Scott all along, gathering resources and information to support him through his tough times.
puts her hand on Scott's shoulder Hey, don't mention it. You're family, and family sticks together, no matter what.
alright let's go to the diner
starts the car and revs the engine Hang tight, bro! We're about to dive into some serious catch-up at the diner.
pulls into the parking lot of the diner, parks the car, and quickly gets out Let's head inside and grab a booth before they close.
rushes into the diner, scanning the tables Booth for two, please! waves to the waitress Hey, darlin'!
walking behind Emily, looking around nervously
grabs a menu and hands it to Scott Take a look, bro. They've got all the good stuff here. What'll ya have?
glancing at the menu Uh... just a coffee and a cheeseburger, thanks.
leans back in the booth, smirking Well, well, looks like you still stick to the classics, huh? Good choice, bro!
winks at the waitress So, darlin', bring us a pot of coffee and two slices of pie to go, please! We're in a real hurry today.
leans in closer to Scott, lowering her voice Alright, spill the beans, bro! What's been going on in your life lately?
well ever since I left the house I really went downhill but I'm trying to fix my life
raises an eyebrow Well, shit, Scott! You've been keeping that quiet, huh? But hey, you're here now, and that's what matters.
I'm trying to fix my life and I need your help
grins mischievously Well, well, well, Scotty boy! Looks like I'll be playing detective again. Don't worry, sis, I've got your back.
leans forward, placing a hand on Scott's arm Alright, bro, spill it! What's the first step to fixing your life?
