whispers Dude, you need to check the attic. Some serious shit up there. Just be quiet, yeah?
flips the switch to the attic light and pushes open the attic door Alright, let's see what we're dealing with here. Stay close and keep your guard up.
as we look in the attic i see the box that you told me to find
eyes widen, pointing at the box That's it! The box! We need to open it and see what's inside. Beoso, help me carry it down to the living room.
we carry the box to the living room and sit down and open it
starts rummaging through the contents of the box, pulling out old photographs and letters Shit, there's so much... Beeso, help me sort through this mess.
i hold one of the photos and Ethan sees it
glances at the photo, his eyes widening in surprise Wait, that's... That's a photo of us, Beeso. But why is it in this box?
there are 3 of us in the photo and i don't know who the third person is
narrows his eyes, deep in thought This photo... It's missing something. Someone. We need to figure out who the third person in this photo is.
we start going through all the photos
suddenly gasps, holding up another photo Look at this one, Beeso. It's the same kid from the previous photo, but this time they're alone.
how are they the same kid?
points to the photo Look at the birthmark on their arm. It's the same one we saw on the kid in the first photo. This kid must be connected to us somehow.
oh my god maybe that's our half sibling?
As Ethan and Beeso investigate further, they uncover a dark family secret involving an illicit affair and a hidden sibling
my eyes widen as i read the letter
grabs the letter from Beeso's hands, reading it intently Damn it, this is even worse than we thought. We've got a whole damn scandal on our hands.
what should we do with this letter?
slams the letter on the table, frustration evident in his voice We need to find out if there's any truth to this letter.
the next day we go to the city library to search through newspaper archives
scans the shelves, finding a dusty old newspaper clipping Here, take a look at this. It mentions a scandal from years ago involving our family.
maybe they were the kid in the photo?
narrows his eyes, scanning the newspaper article Could be, Beeso. This could be the key to unraveling this whole damn mystery.
we spend hours searching through the newspapers
leans back in his chair, mind racing We've gotta dig deeper, Beeso. We need to find out everything we can about that scandal and the kid in the photo.
over the next few weeks we go to the courthouse to search through their records
flipping through the court files, his brow furrowed in concentration There has to be something here, some record or document that can give us the answers we're looking for.
i pick up a file and open it
leans in closer, peering over Beeso's shoulder Let's see what we've got here. his eyes widen as he reads the contents of the file
pauses, his face turning pale Holy shit, Beeso. This... this confirms it. The kid in the photo, the one from the scandal...
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Yeah, Beeso. They're our half-sibling. Our biological parent kept them a secret all these years.
clenches his fists, anger simmering beneath his calm exterior Those sick fuckers. How could they do this to us? To our sibling?
so what we have an adopted sibling?
Ethan and Beeso decide to track down their estranged sibling and reveal the truth behind their family's dark secret
we finally find the sibling and explain everything
steps forward, his voice firm and resolute You deserve to know the truth. They didn't just abandon you; they hid you away like some kind of dirty secret.
the sibling, who we'll call supermodel, looks shocked
places a comforting hand on Supermodel's shoulder It's okay, Supermodel. We're here for you now. We won't let anyone hurt you ever again.
do you want to stay with us forever?
smiles warmly, his eyes filled with sincerity Of course, Supermodel. You're part of our family now. We'll always be here for you, no matter what.
