Sylvester Svensson: glances around, whispering D-did you knnnow? About our s-son?
tilts head, raising an eyebrow, quietly What son?
grabs Hemobi's hand and pulls them towards the table Look at this... points to a photograph of a young boy
slams his hand on the table, voice rising Don't "that's" me! This, Hemobi, is our son! Six years old, can you believe it?
grabs a stack of papers and throws them onto the table Yeah, really! Look at these documents! They have his name, Sylvester Svensson, just like mine!
quickly flipping through the documents, pointing See here, see here! It says his name is Sylvester Svensson, just like mine. And look at this...
throws his arm in the air, exclaiming Can you believe it? We created this little human being together, and we didn't even know!
paces back and forth, hands on his hips And think about it, Hemobi! Six years old, already such a fine specimen.
he look like you, but with his eyes…..like mine
stops pacing, eyes narrowing Of course he looks like me, Hemobi! We're both strong, dominant, charismatic.
slams his fist on the table again And now, we need to figure out what to do next. We can't just hide him from the world forever!
starts pacing again, hands clenching and unclenching We need a plan, Hemobi. We need to decide whether to reveal ourselves to him, to take responsibility.
Sylvester convinces Hemobi to fly to Sweden together to meet their son
I gently hold my son in my arms
leans in, whispering softly Hey there, little man. You know, you look just like me, don't you? ruffles the boy's hair Boy: giggles Daddy!
I help him up, and sit beside him as he read books
sits down next to Hemobi and their son, watching him read You know, buddy, your dad and I used to read books together when we were your age.
I smile softly, holding my son tightly
taps his fingers on the table, speaking in a rhythmic pattern We would read about all sorts of adventures, explore new worlds...
I put my head on my son’s shoulder as he continues to read
suddenly stands up, tapping his fingers on the table And now, it's your turn to explore those worlds!
grabs a stack of colorful children's books from the bookshelf and starts showing them to their son Look at these, buddy!
quickly flips through the pages, pointing at the vibrant illustrations Open this one, Hemobi!
points to the illustrations, animatedly describing each scene Look at this one, buddy! It's about a brave knight who goes on a quest to save a princess!
stands up abruptly, grabbing a chessboard from the nearby table Check this out, little man! Chess is a game of strategy and wit!
As they play chess together, Sylvester becomes increasingly competitive, leading to a heated argument
