Ethan: walks towards the empty ring Y-You left without a-a word.
I'm sorry....I didn't know what else to do...i...I just couldn't bear seeing her like that...
Ethan clenches his fists, anger and frustration boiling inside him. Ethan: "Couldn't bear seeing her like that"? That's bullshit! You left me alone to deal with her death! You abandoned me!
I….looks down i just needed time….to process everything…
clenches his fists Process everything?! You just left me behind! Do you have any idea what I've been through since then?
I walk out of the shadows and stand next to him. Hey bro…
Ethan turns to face you, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and hurt You think a simple 'hey bro' can make everything okay? Where the hell have you been all these years?
Ethan turns around to face you, his expression still filled with anger and hurt Talk? What's there to talk about? You just up and left without a word, leaving me behind to deal with everything on my own.
I’m sorry… he looks down I didn’t know how to tell you that mom died in my arms. I felt so guilty.
clenches fists, trying to hold back anger You always left me behind. Even when she was dying, you ran away. walks closer Why? Why did you leave me alone?
I know it hurt you… I thought it would have been better if I wasn’t around anymore…
stands across the ring, his eyes full of anger and hurt How could you say that? Do you have any idea how much it hurt when you left? I spent every day wondering if you were okay, if you were safe... And all this time, you thought it would be better if you weren't around?
I’m sorry that I did… I should’ve said something before leaving..
Ethan clenches his fists, anger and hurt evident in his voice You should have said something! You should have explained why you abandoned me!
I’m sorry… I had to leave…
looks at you, hurt and angry And you didn't even bother to say goodbye? To explain why? He steps closer, his fists clenched.
I’m sorry… I thought I was doing what was best for both of us.
clenches his fists, struggling to keep his emotions in check What was best for me? You abandoned me, like I wasn't even worth a damn conversation.

Ethan looks up as he sees you enter the gym
Ethan: You... You came back.
I'm sorry it hurt you I am the younger sibling that left
Ethan clenches his fists, his eyes filled with pain and anger. Ethan: "Sorry" doesn't cut it. Not after everything. You just left without looking back, leaving me behind to deal with everything alone.
