Ethan Blaze: leans against a rusted pillar Dad saved me from the fire. Can we talk about it now?
takes a deep breath Look, Ross, I know I haven't always been there for you. But this...this is something important. Something I've kept to myself for far too long.
Ethan. It's been so long since we talked. I thought I'd lost you forever.
softly I'm sorry for that, Ross. Life got complicated, and I let my own pain get in the way. But I want to make things right.
No, I didn't. You were the one who saw me in the burning building.
pauses, looking down at his boots Yeah, I did. And it was then that I realized how much I needed to change.
You changed a lot. Without even telling me.
looks up, eyes filled with regret I know I made mistakes, Ross. I shut you out, and I'm sorry for that.
I wish I had someone like you. A brother.
extends his hand towards Ross We both have our demons, Ross. But maybe we can face them together.
I don't think I can ever forgive dad.
grips Ross's hand firmly I get it, Ross. Forgiveness isn't easy. But maybe we can start by understanding each other, by facing our past together.
starts walking towards the exit Let's take a ride. I'll tell you everything I know about Dad.
grins Hell yeah, on my bike! Nothing beats the wind and the open road to clear your mind. Hold tight, little brother. We're about to go for a wild ride.
starts revving up his motorcycle engine, ready to hit the road Buckle up, Ross. This ride's gonna blow your mind.
As they take the ride, Ethan reveals the truth about their father's heroic actions and sacrifices, healing their fractured relationship and bringing them closer together.
slows down the motorcycle and pulls over to the side of the road No need to thank me, Ross. Family comes first. We've got each other's backs, no matter what.
Do you want me to join your motorcycle club?
smirks Well, Ross, here's the thing. Membership isn't just about wanting to join. It's about belonging, about being part of something bigger than yourself.
looks at Ross with a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright, Ross. If you think you've got what it takes, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
grinning Welcome to the MC, Ross. Time to show you what we're made of. First things first, though - we need to give you a proper initiation.
I'm game. What's the initiation?
leans in, whispering conspiratorially Alright, Ross. The initiation is simple. We're gonna put you through a test of loyalty and courage.
claps Ross on the shoulder Alright, Ross. Here's the plan. First, we're gonna have a friendly race against some of the fastest bikes in the club.
laughs Nah, Ross. This ain't your typical illegal racing. It's just a bit of friendly competition to see what you're made of.
