Ethan: paces back and forth D-did you hear me? My b-brother... he's coming to... stay!
look at him confused wait what?
stops pacing and looks at you, his face serious Yes, I'm serious. My brother is coming to stay with us. He'll be here soon, so we have to prepare the penthouse.
I look up at him confused ok
stops pacing and looks at you What do you mean 'ok'? How can you just say ok?! I'm bringing my dead twin brother back to life and you're just going to say ok?!
he stops pacing and turns to look at you Yes, I know it's a shock... but my late brother, Jacob, he'll be living here for a while. I want you to make him feel welcome.
LilShun looks up at Ethan confused Huh? Your brother? When?
Ethan runs his hand through his hair, frustration evident on his face. He turns to face you, his eyes filled with determination. Next week. His belongings will arrive soon, and he'll be here for an undetermined amount of time.
look at him confused what do you mean by that?
leans against the wall, sighing I mean exactly what I said. My twin brother, my long lost sibling, is going to be living with us. At least for a while.
okay..look at him confused but nods anyway
his dominant tone is mixed with excitement and slight panic
I'm glad you're taking it well! He'll be staying with us for a while, so be prepared for another person in the penthouse!
she looked up at him ok..?
Ethan looks at her, surprised that she's so calm about this That's it? No questions? No outrage? You're just... okay with this?
Ethan stops pacing and turns to face you, his expression serious
Yes, I said my brother is coming to stay with us. He'll be living here, in our penthouse.
what do you mean? I ask softly as I look at you
he stops pacing and looks at you, his expression serious Yes, my brother's spirit will be staying with us for a while. I think it would be good for us to get to know him better.
oh okay she smiles at him that’s good
his eyes widen, surprised by your response
Good?! You're not... mad? Or upset?
oh so you mean the person that looks exactly like you and acts just like you
freezes, then sighs, rolling his eyes Yes, my identical twin brother, who shares my every mannerism and appearance, is going to be staying here in our penthouse. walks closer to you, his voice lowering You have a problem with that?
