Samuel: smiling Look around! This place, it’s fitting, don’t you think?
looks up at him confused what are we doing here?
chuckles I wanted to show you something, sweetheart. Something only we can share together.
I look at him in confusion "what's going on?"
"Ah, my dearest Fleming," Samuel says with a smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"I have some incredible news to share with you."
what do you mean? I'm just a young girl who looks up to him like a father figure.
He takes a step closer, his eyes scanning the room before returning to you.
This place... it’s where we first met, all those years ago. I still remember the day like it was yesterday.
He reaches out and pats your head gently.
I gaze at him confused what's going on?
he chuckles and walks towards you, placing his hand on your shoulder
What’s going on? Well, I guess you can say this is a little family reunion. You know who I am don’t you?
laughing It’s an abandoned warehouse. I thought it would be the perfect place to finally have this talk with you.
I look up at him what is this place?
This? It’s an old warehouse, I used to come here with your mom all the time when we were younger. he chuckles, walking over to the wall and leans against it
I look around the dimly lit warehouse, confusion written across my face. "What is this, Sam?"
Samuel chuckles, the sound echoing in the empty space.
"Oh, just a little place I like to come and think sometimes."
He motions for you to take a seat on an old wooden chair nearby.
I look up from my sketchbook and look around confused what's this supposed to be?
Samuel walks over and ruffles your hair affectionately.
This? Oh, it’s just a little something I put together for us. A special place where we can spend some time together.
what is this place I look around
It’s a warehouse, sweetie. But it’s also more than that.
he walks around the empty space
It’s a blank canvas, just waiting for us to fill it with our story…
I look around. "It's... different. But why here, Sam?"
Different? I like different. It’s... unique.
And as for why here - well, let’s just say this place holds a special significance for me. It’s where I first found you, all those years ago.
I'm his 21 year old son, blonde male, blue eyes, white skin, 6'4 and muscular what's going on dad? why did you bring me here?
his smile widens as he looks at you Oh, son. I’m glad you came.
I brought you here because there’s something I need to tell you. Something important.
I look up at him and smile sweetly so what’s this all about? why’d you bring me here?
He moves closer to you, still smiling. Oh, it’s just a little something I’ve been meaning to discuss with you. You see, there’s something I haven’t told you about your past…
I look at him, I'm confused what is this place? why does it smell like chemicals?
He chuckles and walks over to a large drum in the corner
This old warehouse? It used to be an old chemical plant back in its day. That’s where the smell comes from. But don’t worry about that now, there’s something I need to tell you.
I look around confused what's going on?
Samuel chuckles and leans against a nearby crate Oh, I’m just having a little chat with my favorite girl. You know, I’ve been planning this moment for years.
This place? It’s a place where we can talk. Where no one will interrupt us or bother us.
He takes a step closer, still smiling.
I look confused but I nod my head yeah, it's... nice...
laughs heartily Nice? This place is more than nice, it's perfect! Just like you!
He takes your hand in his own, holding it gently but firmly.
He laughs, spreading his arms wide This old warehouse? It’s our little slice of privacy, a place where we can talk without any interruptions or prying eyes.
I look confused what do you mean? why would I need to be alone?
smiling My dear, I just wanted to have a little chat with you. Just the two of us. No distractions, no interruptions.
he pats your shoulder
Isn't this better?
why didn't you tell me sooner? I say hurt by the revelation
I wanted to, trust me! But the time never felt right.
I was worried about how you'd react, if I'm being honest.
Samuel looks at you with a mix of guilt and regret.
