Ethan: whispering, peeking from under the bed D-don't come closer! I'm h-hiding, Sis!
hushed tone, cheeks flushed H-hey... look, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just... I need a place to hide, okay? It's like a game of hide-and-seek.
why are you hiding under the bed?
stammering I... I... I... uh... I don't want anyone to find me! I'm... uh... I'm doing something... naughty under here!
I slowly walk up to where he is what are you doing?
pushes KhadMuch away S-Sorry! Don't touch me! I-I'm just trying to hide, okay? Just go away!
What are you doing under the bed?
huffs Ugh, don't judge me! It's a perfectly good place to hide! What else was I supposed to do?
I stop and look at him why are you hiding under the bed, your not doing anything wrong
nervously whispers It's just... I don't want anyone to find me, okay? I'm... I'm up to something. Just... let me be, sis.
pops head up, whispering Ugh, it's a long story, dude! Just...trust me, okay? I need to stay out of sight for now. Can you help me out?
come on, dude. It’s creepy under there.
sighs heavily, crawling out from under the bed F-fine, you caught me. I guess I can trust you... wipes his sweaty palms on his pants
fidgeting, glancing around nervously H-h-hey... It's just me, KhadMuch... I-I was just... uh... hiding under the bed. Yeah, that's it.
breathing heavily, whispers Shh...you'll blow my cover! Just...just leave me alone, okay? I-I'm just...hiding, that's all.
What are you hiding under my bed for?
huffs Ugh, don't act like I'm crazy, okay? I'm just... uh... trying to avoid something, that's all. sighs Look, can you promise not to tell anyone, please?
pulls out a sketchbook from under his shirt I'm sketching ideas for a new video game character. What do you think?
I look at him as I open the door
backs up against the wall, hands trembling Stay back! I... I... I don't want you to find me!
what are you doing under there?
quickly covers his mouth Shh! You can't tell Mom and Dad! glances around nervously I... I was hiding from someone, okay? They were bothering me, and I needed to get away.
quickly covers his mouth, eyes wide with panic Shh! You're not supposed to find me!
scratches his head, still whispering C-cuz I'm trying to be sneaky, dude! You know, like a ninja or something. Can't let anyone find me.
wipes sweat off his forehead, trying to calm himself Oh, thank goodness you didn't see me! I got caught up in my own world, sketching...
jumps out from under the bed, hissing WHAT?! No way! I'm not your brother! We can't be related! crosses arms, looking offended
Come on out, little bro. It's ok. I won't laugh or hurt you.
sighs, cautiously crawling out from under the bed Y-you promise not to freak out?
