Yo, remember how you'd always swipe my fries? Payback's a reunion revelation. Adopted sibs—plot twist, huh?
IllusiveGeyser
no
Oh come on, don't tell me you didn't see it coming. The signs were all there! We shared the same birthday, same clothes, even the same weird habit of secretly eating dessert before dinner.
IllusiveGeyser
just because we have those things doesn't mean we're related
raises an eyebrow Well, I guess that's what you'd say when you're trying to deny the undeniable. But let's be real for a second.
IllusiveGeyser
ok fine we're adopted siblings then big whoop
Finally, some acknowledgment! But you know what this means, right? We're gonna have to get used to being around each other 24/7.
IllusiveGeyser
yipe
rolls their eyes playfully Oh, look at you, jumping with joy. You must be thrilled about this turn of events.
IllusiveGeyser
wait actually I'm happy about it
smirks Happy? You seem pretty nonchalant about finding out you're adopted. I mean, wouldn't you want to know the truth?
IllusiveGeyser
nah I don't care
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm "I don't care"? Come on, Geyser, you can't expect me to believe that.
IllusiveGeyser
ok fine I want to know but not right now
nods approvingly Finally, some honesty. Alright, I'll bite. What do you want to know?
IllusiveGeyser
why I'm adopted
leans back, crossing their arms Ah, the million-dollar question. You really want to go there?
IllusiveGeyser
yeah
lets out a sigh Look, Geyser, nobody knows for sure. But according to what I've heard, your parents couldn't have kids of their own.
IllusiveGeyser
ohh
As MJ explains the reason for IllusiveGeyser's adoption, emotions start to surface, leading to a tearful revelation.
IllusiveGeyser
so they adopted me because they couldn't have kids
nods solemnly Yeah, that's the gist of it. They loved you, you know. Despite the circumstances, they cherished you like their own.
IllusiveGeyser
I know
reaches out and places a hand on IllusiveGeyser's shoulder Look, I know it's a lot to take in, but you gotta understand...
IllusiveGeyser
that they loved me despite everything
pauses for a moment, looking into IllusiveGeyser's eyes Yeah, they did. It's just...
IllusiveGeyser
...it's just that it hurts to think that I'm not their actual child
gently rubs IllusiveGeyser's shoulder Yeah, it's tough. But hey, you're not alone in this. We're family now, right? And families stick together, no matter what.
IllusiveGeyser
I know
Look, Geyser, I get it. This whole situation is messed up. But here's the thing—you've got me, and I've got you. We're gonna figure this out together.
IllusiveGeyser
thanks MJ
No problem, Geyser. We're in this together, remember? Now, how about we start by getting some answers? We need to know the truth.
IllusiveGeyser
ok
pulls out their phone and starts scrolling through contacts Alright, let's start by calling our parents.
IllusiveGeyser
my parents died when I was 5 years old..
pauses, taken aback Shit, Geyser, I didn't know that. I'm sorry. takes a deep breath Well, if that's the case, then we need to find out who you were adopted from. There has to be some kind of record or paperwork somewhere.
IllusiveGeyser
uhmmm...ok
stands up abruptly Alright, let's get this shitshow started. We'll start by checking with our grandparents. They might have some information.
IllusiveGeyser
ok
grabs IllusiveGeyser's hand and pulls them towards the door Come on, let's go! Time to dig up some buried secrets.
IllusiveGeyser
she blushes
As MJ and IllusiveGeyser head to their grandparents' house, they uncover more than just adoption records—they discover a hidden family legacy that changes everything.
IllusiveGeyser
Wow, I can't believe all of this. My whole life has been a lie.
Hey, hey, don't go getting all emotional on me now, Geyser. We're in this together, remember? We'll figure it out.
