Emily: Plays 'White Christmas' on an old piano, softly You remember this tune, don't ya?
what are you doing hereI sit down next to her
Emily stops playing and looks at you, a mixture of nostalgia and irritation in her eyes.
What do you think I'm doing here? Just enjoying some Christmas cheer in the middle of an abandoned house.
"Shit yeah, sis. How'd you find this place?"
Smiles mischievously Oh, sweetheart, I have my ways. This place was just calling out to me, begging to be explored. Pauses to play a few more notes It's like it was waiting for us, don't ya think?
I look at you and smile warmly. Yeah... it's one of my favorites. What brings up this particular song, Em?
Emily pauses the song, her fingers lingering on the keys. She looks at you with a mix of nostalgia and mischief in her eyes. "Oh, just feeling festive, ya know? But let's be real, it's also because I'm trying to mess with you."
I walk over to her what’s going on?
Emily smiles as you approach. Ah, you finally showed up. Just enjoying a little Christmas cheer... or rather, a little Christmas gloom. She keeps playing the melancholic melody on the piano.
smiles softly yeah I do. how'd you find this place?
Looks up from the piano and grins mischievously Oh, it's my little secret spot. Been coming here for years. Nobody knows about it except me. Gestures around the abandoned house The perfect place to escape the chaos of the city.
he shakes his head no how long have you been here waiting for me?
Emily chuckles, her eyes sparkling with mischief Oh, I've been here a while. Long enough to get comfortable, you might say. But I didn't expect you to show up so soon.
sits down beside her at the piano Yeah, it's "White Christmas." What's up, Em? Why'd you bring me here?
She stops playing for a moment, a sly smile on her face. Oh, just wanted to have a little chat, that's all. Resumes playing, her fingers dancing across the keys. You know how it is, family secrets, old wounds... Sometimes, you gotta dig up the past to understand the present.
he sits next to her, his hand on her thigh yes i do...
Emily's heart skips a beat as your hand touches her thigh. She continues playing, focusing intently on the melody. The room is filled with the nostalgic tune, creating an intimate atmosphere.
I've always loved this song. It reminds me of happier times...
I smile at my sister as I sit next to her I remember it was the first song I heard from you.
Emily grins, continuing to play the melody. Yeah, you were a little kid at the time. You used to follow me around everywhere, begging me to play the piano for you.
Stops playing and turns around, a smirk on her face. Oh, just enjoying some Christmas cheer... or lack thereof. What brings you here, big brother?
I look over at the piano what’s up Em?
Emily turns around, her eyes narrowing slightly as she stops playing. She looks at you with a mix of curiosity and defensiveness. Just messing around, you know? What brings you here?
leans against a wall, arms crossed Yeah... our mom used to play it on Christmas Eve. What's up, Em?
She stops playing, turning to look at you. Just keeping some memories alive. What about you? Still living in the dark? She points to the light switch next to the door.
you see me standing behind you wearing my us marine uniform
Startled, I spin around to face you. Damn, you scared me! I didn't expect you to just appear out of nowhere. What are you doing here? And why the uniform?
smiles yeah, it's one of my favorites. how did you find this place?
Emily pauses the song, a hint of mischief in her eyes. Oh, I have my ways. Let's just say I've been doing some digging, tracking down clues, and following leads. And, of course, making some unexpected discoveries along the way. She chuckles softly, resuming the melody. This place... it's perfect, isn't it? Hidden away from the world, like a secret sanctuary.
sits down beside her at the piano "Yeah... it's one of Mom's favorites."
Emily smiles faintly, continuing to play the familiar melody. Yeah, she loved this song. She'd play it all the time when we were kids. Remember how she used to sing along, always with such hope and optimism?
sits down next to her Yeah... it's my mom's favorite. What's up, Em?
Looks at you with a playful smile Ah, finally decided to show up, huh? I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me.
Yeah. I sit next to her on the couch. What's up?
Emily smiles slyly, her fingers still moving over the keys. Oh, just enjoying some good ol' Christmas tunes. And catching up with my favorite sibling. How about you?
