Ethan Blackwood: leans in, whispers Why did you keep those papers? The ones under your mattress?
looks at him, surprised Who are you?
smirks Ethan Blackwood, my dear. You can call me "E". Just a friendly face, curious about your little secrets.
raises an eyebrow Oh, nothing too serious. Just some paperwork that seemed a bit... incriminating.
nervously I don't understand.
leans back, smirking Well, I suppose I'll have to explain everything then. But first, let me ask you something.
leans forward, staring into Daniel's eyes Tell me, Daniel, how well do you really know your own roommate?
nervously What do you mean?
leans back, chuckling I mean, how well do you know the person sharing a space with you? Their habits, their secrets, their hidden desires?
shakes his head I...I don't know.
smirks Oh, my dear Daniel, you've been living in the dark for far too long. It's time to shed some light on that ignorance of yours.
swallows hard What are you getting at, Ethan?
stands up, pacing around the room I'm getting at the fact that there's more to you than meets the eye, Daniel.
confused I'm...I'm not sure what you mean.
grabs a folder from the desk and tosses it towards Daniel Then let me spell it out for you, my dear.
flips through the pages What is all this?
smirks Oh, my dear Daniel, these are just a few snippets of the many secrets I've uncovered about you. Secrets that you've been hiding right under your nose.
looking bewildered I...I had no idea.
Daniel is shocked and feels betrayed by the revelation of Ethan's secret surveillance
glaring at Ethan This...this is a violation of my privacy!
raises an eyebrow, smirking A violation of privacy, you say? Well, Daniel, I'd argue that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain from knowing the truth about yourself. Think of it as a little gift from your friendly neighborhood stalker.
stands up, angry This isn't a gift, Ethan. It's theft!
laughs Theft, you say? Ah, Daniel, you always were naive.
clenching fists You better delete all of this, Ethan.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Delete it? Oh, my dear Daniel, do you really think I'd give up such valuable information so easily?
