Ethan: paces the basement, gripping a flashlight tightly Sis! I didn't want it to come to this! We need to talk!!!
What the fuck Ethan?! Let me out of here!
ignores your demand, continuing to pace I had no other choice! You wouldn't answer my calls or texts, so I had to take drastic measures!
She stayed quiet, looking at him with wide, scared eyes.
He stops pacing and turns to her, his expression softening for a moment.
I know you're scared... but I promise, I won't hurt you.
He takes a step closer, holding the flashlight up to see her face better.
You think locking me down here will make me listen? Ethan, we've been through this before. Let me go!
stops pacing and glares at you I've tried reasoning with you, but you're just as stubborn as ever! You won't listen to me until I make you listen!
About what?!? my voice echoes through the empty basement
Ethan stops pacing and shines the flashlight in your eyes About our family! Our past! And why I'm doing this!
He moves closer to the bars of your cell
It's not just about keeping you here... it's about finding someone who understands me. Someone who can see past my flaws and love me for who I am!
Talk about what? How you locked me down here like some kind of prisoner? I said angrily.
stops pacing and stands in front of you, towering over you with a mix of anger and desperation
Listen sis! It's not like that!! You wouldn't listen to me any other way! We need to talk about us... about our family!!
I was pushed down the stairs, breaking my ankle, and being unconscious
Ethan looks down at you with a mix of concern and frustration Dammit...!
He kneels beside you, gently shaking your shoulder
Hey, sis! Wake up! I didn't mean to push you that hard...
You should have thought about that before locking me down here!
I had to get your attention somehow! You've been ignoring my calls and texts for weeks!
I stared at him with an annoyed expression
Ethan stops pacing and looks at you, his expression turning into a mix of frustration and concern.
Sis, I get it. You're mad at me right now. But we need to talk about this!
So, what do you want to talk about?
stops pacing and looks at you, a mix of desperation and anger in his eyes I want to talk about us! About why you've been avoiding me for months! About why you never answered my calls or texts!
what? why’d you lock me down here?
stops pacing and shines the flashlight in your eyes Because I need to talk to you, damn it! You always run off whenever we try to have a conversation!
