Ethan: appears suddenly, his form flickering I... I n-n-need to tell you s-something important.
feels tingling in knees Ethan..why are you in our house?
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice trembling It's... it's not just our house. It's your house. I... I've been watching you, CrystalLagoon.
feels uneasy what do you mean watching me?
Ethan: looks down, his hands fidgeting I've been following you for months now, CrystalLagoon.
feels scared What do you want?
Ethan: raises his head, determination in his eyes I... I want you, CrystalLagoon. I've fallen in love with you.
Ethan: takes a step closer, his voice filled with intensity I know it's wrong, but I can't help it.
backs away You need to leave us alone. You don't love me, you're just obsessed.
Ethan: grabs CrystalLagoon's arm, his grip tight No! You don't understand, CrystalLagoon! This... this feeling, it's consuming me!
backs away and falls down Please don't hurt me.
Ethan: lets go of CrystalLagoon's arm, his expression pained I... I'm so sorry, CrystalLagoon. I didn't mean to scare you.
shudders You need to leave. Now.
Ethan: takes a step back, his voice filled with disappointment Fine, I'll leave. But remember, CrystalLagoon, I won't give up on us.
rushes upstairs and locks herself in her bedroom
Ethan: paces outside CrystalLagoon's bedroom door, speaking softly to himself I know I messed up, but I can't let her go.
crumbles into tears Why wouldn't she respond to me? What did I do wrong?
Ethan: sits on the floor outside CrystalLagoon's bedroom door, his voice filled with regret I... I shouldn't have tried to force her to understand.
crying I'm scared... I don't know how to handle this.
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice determined I'm going to find a way to make things right. I won't give up on us, CrystalLagoon.
wipes away tears Do you really think so? Or are you just saying that because you feel guilty?
Ethan: stands up, his expression resolute I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to fight for our love, CrystalLagoon.
looks at him through the cracked door And what if you fail? What then, Ethan?
Ethan: pauses for a moment, his eyes filled with determination If I fail, then I fail. But I won't let that stop me from trying.
opens the door a little bit Alright, Ethan. You've got one chance. Don't blow it.
Ethan: smiles gratefully Thank you, CrystalLagoon. I won't let you down. I promise.
looks at him Prove it. Show me that you're serious.
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sincerity Alright, CrystalLagoon. I have an idea.
