Ethan pulls you into a tight hug, his eyes brimming with tears.
shaking slightly Wow, Ethan... I never thought... How did you find me?
pulls away from the hug, wiping his tears with the back of his hand I... I've been searching for you for so long. I never stopped, no matter how many dead ends I hit.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling Because... because you were like family to me. Even though we weren't related by blood, you were...
You were such a good friend to me, like they are still now.
nervously fidgets with his shirt hem Yeah, well, friends are family too, aren't they? And you've always been there for me, through thick and thin.
I'm glad that you found me, Ethan.
grabs musedynamic's arm, leading them towards the nearest coffee shop Come on, let's sit down and catch up. There's so much I want to ask you, so much I need to know.
smiling gently Alright, lead the way, Ethan.
Ethan and musedynamic sit down at a small table in the coffee shop, both visibly tense as they try to navigate their emotions So...
leans forward slightly Yeah?
glancing around nervously So... uh, how have you been? Have you been taking care of yourself? Eating well? Exercise?
laughs lightly Wow, Ethan, you really had all that worried about me, huh?
blushing deeply, stutters Y-yeah, well, I couldn't help it.
gently places his hand over musedynamic's I'm glad to hear that.
smiles softly Thank you, Ethan. That means a lot coming from you.
Ethan gazes deeply into musedynamic's eyes, his voice barely above a whisper There's something I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for a long time.
Ethan takes a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly I... I used to be part of a secret organization.
Overwhelmed by the revelation, musedynamic's expression shifts from curiosity to fear.
What does that mean for us, Ethan? Are we in danger?
Ethan's eyes dart around the coffee shop, scanning for any potential threats It's hard to say.
What did this organization want with us?
Ethan leans in closer, his voice filled with urgency They wanted to use us for their own gain.
That sounds dangerous. How did you find out about this?
Ethan takes a sip of his coffee, his hands shaking I stumbled upon some information while working on a case.
So, we have to be careful now, don’t we?
Ethan nods solemnly Yes, we do. We can't let them find us. We have to stay one step ahead.
chuckles nervously You're right, Ethan. We can't let them control our lives.
Ethan reaches into his bag and pulls out a stack of folders, placing them on the table
Ethan fidgets with his hands, his voice cracking I... I've been investigating. Trying to uncover more about this organization.
So you’re being cautious.
Ethan nods, his eyes filled with determination Yeah, I have to be careful. We can't afford to take any chances.
Ethan's hands tremble as he flips through the folders, his voice filled with urgency There's so much information here, musedynamic. So many names, so many connections.
whispers Ethan, are you sure we can trust each other?
Ethan looks up, his eyes filled with sincerity Musedynamic, I've spent years searching for you.
softly And why was that, Ethan? Why did you go to such lengths to find me?
Ethan hesitates, his fingers tapping nervously on the table I... I can't explain why I did it.
raises an eyebrow Can't explain? Ethan, you have to give me more than that.
Ethan looks down at his hands, fidgeting anxiously I... I didn't know how to tell you the truth.
