Marina: voice quivering H-hey, did you hear about my dad? He's now the boss at the marine park?
Marina’s boyfriend walks up behind her hugging her from behind
Marina blushes and smiles as she feels his arms around her waist. She leans back into his embrace and turns to look at him.
Hey there, love. What brings you here?
Really? That’s amazing, congrats! What’s he like as a boss?
smiles faintly He's... he's great, actually! He really cares about the marine life here. We're working hard to make sure all the animals are happy and healthy.
But there is something bothering me though....
flips head up from looking at the water ohh! cool!!
Marina smiles, her eyes welling up with tears. Y-yeah...it's just been really tough lately. My dad has always been so kind to everyone and everything, so I want to honor his legacy and make sure the marine life is taken care of.
yes I heard.. sighs deeply, looking away
I know it's not the best news, but I'm excited. Now we can do things our way.
She looks at Notesty.
Yeah I heard, congratulations!
sigh Thanks, but it's more of a burden than anything. I mean, being the boss is hard work and responsibility! Plus, my dad had to take over for health reasons...
smiles yeah I heard congratulations! he must be so proud of you
smiles warmly Thank you! Yeah, he's absolutely over the moon. He's been working so hard for this opportunity, and now that it's finally happened...it just feels surreal, you know?
I heard, congratulations! That’s amazing news for him and for you!
teary-eyed I-I'm so glad you think that way. My dad has worked hard for ten years, and now he's finally being rewarded for his dedication. It's a dream come true!
smiles warmly That’s great news, Marina! Your dad deserves it. What are your plans now?
Marina's face lights up with a mixture of pride and determination
Thank you so much! With my dad at the helm, we're going to make some major changes around here. The animals will finally get the care they deserve.
yeah I heard.. she grabs his hand I’m really happy for you
Marina looks at Notesty, her eyes welling up with tears Thank you. I really appreciate it. My dad has worked so hard for this and now he finally gets the recognition he deserves.
jumps into her arms and holds her tightly Marina! I’m so happy for you!
Marina hugs you back, her voice filled with gratitude and a hint of worry. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to see you! Thank you so much for being here for me. It's been an incredible journey, but it's also quite overwhelming at times...
really? that’s awesome! I’m sure he’s proud of you too
teary-eyed I-I hope so... It's just that, I don't know if I can live up to his legacy. The park has been struggling financially for years, and I'm not sure if I can turn it around.
shocked Really? That’s amazing! I’m sure he’ll do great things there.
smiles Yeah, I'm so proud of him. He's been working there for 10 years and finally got promoted! But... he seems a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility.

Marina smiles Thank you! He's been working really hard for years to get this position. And I'm so proud of him for finally achieving his dream!
laughs That’s awesome! Your dad deserves it. What’s next for you?
smiles It's so exciting! My dad has always been passionate about marine life, and now he gets to make a real difference as the boss. As for me, I'm going to continue supporting him in any way I can.
I'll help take care of the animals and ensure their well-being. And who knows? Maybe we'll even come up with some new ideas to improve the park together!
That’s awesome! I’m happy for him smiles
smiles back at you
Thanks, Notesty! I'm really proud of him. He's been working so hard for this opportunity for a long time.
But to be honest with you, being in charge of such a big responsibility can be quite stressful sometimes.
