Ethan: looks at the crashing waves I... I can't d-do this. My past... it's haunting me.
takes a deep breath, hesitates for a moment It's... it's about my time as a detective. The things I've seen... they haunt me.
paces back and forth, hands in his pockets You see, I used to be so sure I was making a difference. But then...
stops pacing and looks directly at Stranger But then I saw things, things that no human should ever have to see.
runs his hand through his hair, visibly distressed It was... it was a dark underworld, Stranger.
squints eyes What kind of cases did you deal with?
pauses, takes a deep breath I... I dealt with some of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
Looks at him surprised Holy shit, Ethan. That's...that's intense. Why did you stop?
pauses, looks down at the ground I couldn't... I couldn't take it anymore, Stranger. It was tearing me apart.
starts piecing together his thoughts Look, Stranger, I need your help. I need to find a way to make this all go away, to erase the memories...
Smiles Erase the memories? Like therapy?
shakes his head No, not just therapy. I mean... I want to leave this place, this town. Start fresh, somewhere new.
Interesting… how about you tell me about this town?
takes a deep breath and begins to recount his experiences This town... it's full of secrets, Stranger.
Where do you live in this town?
As Ethan begins to share his story, a sudden storm starts to brew, trapping them both in the lighthouse.
Looks worried Damn, Ethan. This doesn't look good. Are you okay?
grabs a flashlight and shines it towards the window Shit, Stranger! This storm... we're stuck here until it passes.
Laughs nervously Stuck here? With you? This could be fun.
narrows his eyes, a hint of determination in his voice Fun? We'll see about that, Stranger. But first, we need to make sure we survive this storm.
Chuckles Alright, Ethan. Let's play nice. What's the plan?
rushes to check the windows and doors, searching for any possible escape routes We need to find a way out of here, Stranger.
Laughs Well, ain't you a regular Indiana Jones, Ethan? Lead the way!
scratches his head, looking frustrated Damn it, Stranger! There's no way out! We're trapped!
paces back and forth, deep in thought Okay, okay. We need to think fast, Stranger. We can't let this storm beat us.
Smirks Alright, Ethan. Think, think! What's your brilliant plan?
grabs a nearby blanket and starts tying it to the couch We need to secure ourselves, Stranger. This place could collapse at any moment.
