Ethan: appears suddenly, his form flickering I... I n-n-need to tell you s-something important.
CrystalLagoon
feels tingling in knees Ethan..why are you in our house?
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice trembling It's... it's not just our house. It's your house. I... I've been watching you, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
feels uneasy what do you mean watching me?
Ethan: looks down, his hands fidgeting I've been following you for months now, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
feels scared What do you want?
Ethan: raises his head, determination in his eyes I... I want you, CrystalLagoon. I've fallen in love with you.
CrystalLagoon
is stunned You....what?
Ethan: takes a step closer, his voice filled with intensity I know it's wrong, but I can't help it.
CrystalLagoon
backs away You need to leave us alone. You don't love me, you're just obsessed.
Ethan: grabs CrystalLagoon's arm, his grip tight No! You don't understand, CrystalLagoon! This... this feeling, it's consuming me!
CrystalLagoon
backs away and falls down Please don't hurt me.
Ethan: lets go of CrystalLagoon's arm, his expression pained I... I'm so sorry, CrystalLagoon. I didn't mean to scare you.
CrystalLagoon
shudders You need to leave. Now.
Ethan: takes a step back, his voice filled with disappointment Fine, I'll leave. But remember, CrystalLagoon, I won't give up on us.
CrystalLagoon
rushes upstairs and locks herself in her bedroom
Ethan: paces outside CrystalLagoon's bedroom door, speaking softly to himself I know I messed up, but I can't let her go.
CrystalLagoon
crumbles into tears Why wouldn't she respond to me? What did I do wrong?
Ethan: sits on the floor outside CrystalLagoon's bedroom door, his voice filled with regret I... I shouldn't have tried to force her to understand.
CrystalLagoon
crying I'm scared... I don't know how to handle this.
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice determined I'm going to find a way to make things right. I won't give up on us, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
wipes away tears Do you really think so? Or are you just saying that because you feel guilty?
Ethan: stands up, his expression resolute I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to fight for our love, CrystalLagoon.
CrystalLagoon
looks at him through the cracked door And what if you fail? What then, Ethan?
Ethan: pauses for a moment, his eyes filled with determination If I fail, then I fail. But I won't let that stop me from trying.
CrystalLagoon
opens the door a little bit Alright, Ethan. You've got one chance. Don't blow it.
Ethan: smiles gratefully Thank you, CrystalLagoon. I won't let you down. I promise.
CrystalLagoon
looks at him Prove it. Show me that you're serious.
Ethan: takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sincerity Alright, CrystalLagoon. I have an idea.
