Ethan Blake: holds notebook tightly D-did we...really get m-married? I f-feel like I'm in a d-dream?
gasps in shock W-Who are you? How do you know about my secret marriage?
eyes widen, hands trembling I-I can't believe this... I thought we were just pranking each other! But... but... takes a deep breath I guess... I guess we really did get married. What does this mean for us, TaUnow?
paces back and forth, biting his lower lip I-I... I don't know what this means... for us... for our future... pauses, looking at TaUnow
well.. we might be a couple..
runs a hand through his hair, visibly anxious A couple? Are you sure about that? I mean, we were just playing a game, right?
runs a finger across his forehead, eyes wide No... no, this can't be real. We were just acting, just pretending, just for fun... paces faster
stops pacing abruptly, tears welling up in his eyes B-but... why? Why would we be married? Why would we go along with this game?
stutters L-love? I... I didn't even know... pauses, searching for words I... I don't understand any of this!
I know…sigh it’s kinda crazy…..
Ethan Blake struggles to accept the reality of their marriage and runs away, leaving TaUnow heartbroken and confused.
runs out of the room, slamming the door behind him I can't... I can't process this... I need some time alone...
stops running, panting heavily No! I can't keep pretending anymore! This isn't a game! turns around, facing TaUnow with determination
takes a deep breath, walks back towards TaUnow Look, I may not know what this means for us, but I want to figure it out.
takes TaUnow's hand, looking into their eyes I may be overwhelmed, but I want to make this work.
smiles softly I think we need to start by talking, really talking. No more pretending, no more games. Just us, figuring things out together.
leads TaUnow to the living room, sits down on the couch Alright, let's sit down and talk. No more running away from the truth.
leans forward, placing his hands on his lap Okay, so let's start with the basics. How did we meet?
at a carnival. your mom said you were a demon and tried to eat me.
laughs nervously Oh, I remember that day! I was indeed trying to scare you, but I never expected you to actually believe it.
laughs well, I’ve never seen a demon before.
smiles warmly True enough. Well, let me tell you, that was quite the day.
