Ethan: softly, tracing his scar You ever think 'bout what happened here?
Yeah well I ain’t forgot no fire
leans in closer, voice low It's funny, isn't it? How we remember things differently. The fire, the scars, they're all burned into our memories.
All I remember is people screaming
squeezes Williams' hand gently People screaming, chaos, confusion... It's a lot for anyone to handle. But we made it out, didn't we?
gently caressing Williams' cheek I'm sorry for bringing up painful memories, Williams. But maybe it's time we face them together.
returns the hug, whispering softly Shh, it's okay, Williams. We don't have to go through it alone anymore. We'll find closure together.
pulls away slightly, looking deeply into Williams' eyes Williams, I promise you, we won't let those painful memories define us.
stands up, holding out his hand to Williams Come on, let's take a walk. Clear our heads and talk about something else. How about we play a game of chess?
leads Williams to the chessboard set up in the middle of the room Alright, Williams, I'll make sure to go easy on you.
smirks Don't get too confident, Williams. I may be easy on you today, but I won't go down without a fight.
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet I do! Prepare to be amazed, Williams. This chess game won't be a cakewalk!
As they play chess, Ethan and Williams become increasingly immersed in the game, their competitive spirits igniting a passionate and intense atmosphere.
