Deku: furrows brow Why didn’t you tell me?! Your brother... my father? This changes everything!
Stranger
Well yeah I just found out today
paces back and forth So you're telling me we've been living under the same roof all this time and you didn't think to share this little detail?
Stranger
I found out today my mom just told me
stops pacing, eyes wide Your mom? She knew?! And she didn't bother to let me know either? How could she keep something like this from me?
Stranger
Well i found out today
runs a hand through his tousled hair, frustrated This is unbelievable!
Stranger
Yeah it’s crazy
clenches his fists I can't believe my own father is my stepfather! How did this happen? Who else knew about this?
Stranger
Mom and dad told me
stares at Stranger in disbelief Your mom and dad? They knew all along and never said anything? What kind of twisted game are they playing?
Stranger
I don’t know
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I need some time to process all of this. Can we discuss this later? Right now, I need to clear my head.
Stranger
Ok
starts gathering his things, hurriedly packing his gear I'm going for a run. Alone. You don't need to come with me.
Stranger
Alright
puts on his headphones, blasting his favorite song I need to sort my thoughts out. Just leave me alone for a while.
Stranger
she leaves
starts running, feeling the wind rushing through his hair This is exactly what I needed. A chance to breathe and clear my mind.
Stranger
she waits anxiously for deku to come back
After a long run, Deku returns home to find Stranger waiting for him with a worried expression on her face.
Stranger
Are you alright?
takes off his headphones, catching his breath Yeah, I'm fine. Just needed some time to think. pauses, looking serious We need to talk.
Stranger
Sure
sits down on the couch, facing Stranger Look, I can't just ignore what we've just discovered. It's a lot to take in, and I have a lot of questions.
Stranger
Yeah
leans forward, intense gaze First of all, why didn't your mom tell me sooner? Why did she keep this from me?
Stranger
I don’t know
leans back, frustration evident in his voice This whole situation feels like one big mess.
