Alex: moves pawn Ever wonder why Mom and Dad aren't around as much? Weird, right?
MidnightOasis
i shrug I’ve never really thought about it
smiles Well, I have. They're always so busy with work, it's like they're avoiding something... takes a deep breath I think I might know what it is.
MidnightOasis
I look at him. Well I always figured it was because they didn't want us.
looks at you That's not it. They love us, but... sighs...I think there's something you should know. Something that might change everything.
MidnightOasis
I'm a girl btw. I move my knight. Well, they did remarry last year. So they probably just busy building their new life together.
moves bishop Hmm, that's true, but it still feels weird. Like there's something they're not telling us.
leans back in the chair You know what's even weirder? Dad said he never knew our biological father. But Mom... she seems to remember him.
MidnightOasis
shrugs I just know they send us money every month.
nods Yeah, but it's weird. They never really talk about where the money comes from. Like, who pays it? And why don't they ever visit? It's like they're avoiding us or something.
MidnightOasis
looks down at the chessboard yeah its weird. they never talk about their past. only thing i remember was my dad leaving one night and never came back
sighs Yeah, me too. But what's really weird is that I recently found out something that might change everything...
MidnightOasis
I'm a female I know that they're on a trip. They didn't tell me where they were going though.
chuckles Of course, that's typical. But there's something else... I found some old letters recently. They mentioned something weird...
MidnightOasis
Yeah it is weird moves knight. What do you think about?
stares at the board for a moment, then looks up I've been doing some research on our family history, and I think I found something important. It's about our dad. Or rather, our biological fathers.
MidnightOasis
she moves her knight Yeah it is weird..
takes a moment to think before speaking I've been doing some digging...about our family's past. There's something I want to tell you, but you have to promise not to freak out.
MidnightOasis
I'm a girl btw
Oh. My bad. I guess I was assuming...
moves knight
Anyway, I was thinking about Mom and Dad a lot lately. And it got me wondering... you ever wonder why we hardly ever see them? Like, ever since we were little?
MidnightOasis
moves knight Yeah it’s weird..but not really surprising.
smiles wryly That's true. But the reason why is definitely surprising. leans forward, studying the board intently You know how I mentioned that I found out I may have a biological father?
MidnightOasis
I sigh before answering. "Yeah, it's weird. But we've always managed."
nods I guess so. But what if I told you something that could change everything?
MidnightOasis
I'm a girl, my name's Ely Yeah it's weird.. moves my knight
looks at the board I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Mom and Dad are always working, and they're never home for long when they are. It's like they're hiding something. moves bishop
