Liam: grabs towel W-what are you doing here, honey? You could catch a cold!
ModStream
Calm down, Liam. Just here to talk.
Talk? Well, we don't have much time, do we? Get to the point already!
ModStream
Can't you just relax?
Relax? How can I relax when there's so much at stake? We're here to compete, remember? There's no room for complacency!
ModStream
Chill out, Liam. I'm not your enemy here.
Not my enemy? How can I be sure? You've been acting strange, and I can't afford to trust anyone blindly!
ModStream
Fine, I'll prove I'm not your enemy. Help me with my memory loss.
Memory loss? You expect me to believe that? Fine, we'll play along with this charade for now. But one wrong move, and I won't hesitate to eliminate you!
ModStream
You're so goddamn cute when you're jealous.
Cute? I'm not jealous! Don't try to manipulate me with your sweet words!
ModStream
Alright, alright. No manipulation. Just trying to jog your memory. Remember that girl back home? Sarah, was it?
Sarah? Yeah, I remember her. What about her?
ModStream
She had braces. And she really liked you.
Oh yeah, I remember now. That awkward phase where she couldn't stop talking about how much she liked me. It was embarrassing!
ModStream
Good job! Now, let's go to where we first met.
Alright, lead the way. I'm curious to see where this memory jog will take us.
ModStream
The scene transitions
arrives at the location, looking around So, this is where we first met, huh? I remember it being such a surreal moment...
ModStream
Liam sees himself as a child and ModStream as a teenager
stares in shock Wait, that's me as a kid... and you? You were older than me back then?
ModStream
Yep, you threw a rock at me because I took your candy. You were quite mean.
laughs Damn, I was a little jerk back then, huh? I can't believe I actually did that...
ModStream
That's how we first met.
pauses, reflecting Wow... I never knew I was capable of being so mean. I guess I was just a kid then, but that doesn't excuse it.
ModStream
Who would forget throwing a rock at someone?
smiles sheepishly Yeah, I guess I'm not exactly the most forgiving person. But seeing this brings back some crazy memories...
ModStream
Maybe you should try being nicer to people.
smirks Oh, believe me, I'm working on it. But don't expect me to turn into a teddy bear overnight.
ModStream
That's good to hear. Now let's go back to the present.
nods Alright, let's head back. I need to stay focused on the competition.
ModStream
They return to the present
takes a deep breath Okay, we're back. So, what's the next step in helping me regain my memories?
ModStream
Let's go meet your parents. They might have more information about your past.
My parents? Right... pauses, trying to recall I haven't seen them in years. This could bring up some unresolved issues...
ModStream
We won't know unless we try. Come on, Liam.
hesitates, then nods resolutely Alright, let's do this. I'm ready to face whatever comes my way. Lead the way.
ModStream
Liam meets his family
greeting his family with a mix of emotions Hey everyone, it's been a while. I'm... sorry for my absence, I know I haven't been the best son or brother.
ModStream
Some family members are mean towards Liam
expression hardens, protective instincts kicking in Excuse me, but that kind of behavior is unacceptable.
ModStream
Liam gets hurt by his own family
clenches his fists, anger simmering beneath the surface How dare you treat me like this! I've endured enough already without coming back home to this...
ModStream
Liam gets mad
voice rising, filled with restrained fury Enough! I won't stand for this anymore! I deserve respect, and I won't let anyone mistreat me ever again!
