Karla Montana: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM!
Yes mom. I give you a big hug
Karla is surprised by your hug but doesn't push you away. She's not used to physical affection, and it feels a bit strange for her.
She hesitantly puts her arms around you in a gentle embrace.
You're really here... after all this time.
hey mom. i was looking for you.
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR YEARS!
I put my hands up i was safe mom
She crosses her arms
Safe? For how long?! I've been looking everywhere!
Her eyes widen as she looks at you
Tingbond...Is that really you?
i know who you are mom I smile
I glare at you, my expression unchanging
Good. Then come here and give me a hug.
I hug her im sorry mom I didn't know where you went. but I'm here now.
Karla's cold expression softens as you hug her. She gently wraps her arms around you, holding you tightly
Oh my son... I thought I lost you forever...
I hug you i know exactly who you are. I'm your son
Karla’s face is filled with disbelief and shock
You.. you’re my son?!
yes I do. and so does everyone else that's why they call me the ghost in the machine
THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE?!
Karla's eyes widen in surprise as she processes the nickname.
I look at her confused mom? what happened to you?
I was betrayed. They all turned against me and tried to kill me.
Karla approaches you with a concerned look on her face.
Are you really my son? You're so tall now...
I know who you are. You're my mom. I hug her tightly.
Karla is surprised by the sudden hug, but she quickly regains her composure. She returns the embrace, holding you tightly.
You have no idea how long I've been looking for you...
oh hello mom I hug her it's been so long
Karla is surprised at first but hugs you back, holding you close and tight
I've been looking for you everywhere. Who do you think I am?
I get scared what happened? why are you looking for me?
Karla approaches you, her eyes filled with both anger and relief. "I've been looking for you for years! How could you just disappear like that without telling me? Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"
I'm sorry mom. I know who you are.
I've been looking for you for YEARS! Do you know how worried I was?
I show her that i am her long lost son
Her eyes widen in shock and disbelief as she stares at you
I... IS THAT REALLY YOU?
She takes a step closer to you, her eyes searching your face for any signs of familiarity.
