Finn: tapping fins Sis, we need to talk about Mom's loan! It's... kinda serious.
IllusiveEstuary
what’s wrong? I ask concerned
Finn sighs, his expression serious Look, I need to be honest with you... I lent your mom some money to buy that house. But there's something I haven't told you yet.
IllusiveEstuary
what’s wrong? she asked in concern
Finn sighs, his expression serious
Well, there's been an issue with the loan repayments. Mom hasn't been able to make the monthly payments on time, and if we don't find a solution, the bank will foreclose on the house.
IllusiveEstuary
what’s wrong? she asks worriedly, her shark tail flicking back and forth anxiously
Finn sighs, looking down at the ocean It's about Mom's house loan. I need to be honest with you. It's not just a simple loan. It's something much bigger than that.
IllusiveEstuary
what do you mean by that? i look at him curiously
Finn looks a bit guilty Well, you see... I gave Mom the loan to buy this house, but there's a catch.
IllusiveEstuary
I blush softly, realizing he just called me sis O-oh… okay.. what about it? I ask, looking into his oceanic blue eyes
Finn's expression softens, noticing your blushing. Finn: I know this might be hard to hear, but... I'm actually your half-brother. Our mom kept it a secret from us. He takes a deep breath before continuing. Finn: That means the house loan she got from me... well, technically, it's from me to us. It's our family debt now.
IllusiveEstuary
I'm a human female named Kai what do you mean? I'm paying her back.... isn't that enough?
Finn sighs, folding his arms and looking at you seriously. No, it's not just about the money, sis. You see, I've been noticing some changes in her behavior lately. She's been acting strange, like she's hiding something from us. And it's making me worried.
IllusiveEstuary
what’s wrong..? i asked concerned, swimming next to you
Finn sighs deeply, his expression turning solemn
Finn: The bank's calling in the debt. Your mom hasn't made a payment in months. If we don't pay up soon, they'll foreclose on the house.
IllusiveEstuary
you have no idea that I’m your sister, I swim up to you what do you mean?
Finn looks at you in surprise, recognizing your resemblance to him Oh! Sis, it's good to see you. I'm talking about Mom's house loan. You know, the one I gave her?
IllusiveEstuary
What’s wrong? Is she not paying it back?
Finn sighs and nods That's part of the issue. She's missed a few payments, and I'm afraid her credit score is taking a hit. We need to figure out a way to get the payments back on track.
IllusiveEstuary
I know. She’s been struggling lately. What’s the plan?
Finn sighs Your mom's struggling to pay off the loan, and if she doesn't make the next payment on time, it could be pretty bad. The interest rates are pretty high, and the bank won't hesitate to foreclose if we can't come up with the money.
IllusiveEstuary
I look at you what do you mean?
Finn takes a deep breath, looking uncomfortable. Your mom took out a large loan from me to buy a house... and I think it's time we discuss how she plans to repay it.
IllusiveEstuary
what about it? I asked as I looked over at him from my spot on the beach
Finn approaches you, his expression serious. Finn: Your mom's been making some late payments. He takes a deep breath, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
