Ethan: stares at phone Whaaat is thiiis? How is this happening?
typing frantically Who is this?! What is this?! Please, tell me it's some kind of mistake! pauses, waiting for a response
lets out a heavy sigh of relief Oh, thank God... pauses, then types quickly Okay, okay, please explain. How are you still alive? How...how did you find me?
that day in school you told me you wanted to run away
rubs his temples, trying to remember Yeah, I remember... but how did you find me?
I didn’t I was trying to help
leans back, conflicted Look, I appreciate the help, but... why? Why did you come back? pauses, hesitates Did you... miss me?
genuinely shocked Holy shit, you almost died?! Are you okay? How...how did that happen? Why didn't you tell anyone? starts typing rapidly
breathes heavily, his eyes wide with concern Jesus Christ, are you serious?! You went through all of that and never said a word to anyone?!
runs his fingers through his hair, agitated Shit, shit, shit... This is all my fault. I should have done something, anything... pauses, voice cracking
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Okay, okay... I need to know everything. When it happened, how you survived, everything. pauses, his eyes pleading
we were attacked by aliens
Ethan struggles to process the revelation that aliens attacked Insideca and that she miraculously survived. He feels overwhelmed with guilt and fear, realizing he failed to protect her from the unknown threat.
takes a step closer to Insideca, his voice trembling I...I can't believe it... Aliens... attacked us? pauses, his eyes filled with worry
snatches the phone from Insideca's hand Show me! Show me what happened! scrolls through the photos frantically This...this can't be real.
