Ethan: reaches out, ghostly hand trembling D-darling? C-can y-you s-see me?
Pearson
I grab your ghostly hand softly as I am still half asleep
Ethan's heart skips a beat at the feeling of your touch, even if it's just a soft grasp of his ghostly hand.
Darling... Y-you're really here...
He whispers, his voice filled with disbelief and wonder. His hand trembles slightly in yours, as if he's afraid that you might disappear if he lets go.
Pearson
wakes up crying thinking it’s another nightmare
gently takes your hand in his own translucent one, tears welling up in his eyes
No, no... d-darling... I'm r-really here.
Pearson
slowly opens eyes Who... who are you? Where am I?
a gentle smile forms on his ghostly face My name is Ethan. You're in a hospital in New Orleans. Do you... remember anything?
Pearson
you take my hand softly as I jump a little startled ooh! hi.
my hand feels like a cold breeze against yours as I gently squeeze it
"Darling, I'm so glad you can see me..."
Pearson
she looks around the room in confusion W-what..? Where am I? Who are you..?
floats closer, his form becoming more solid
I-I'm Ethan... Y-you don't recognize me?
Pearson
i sit up slowly e-Ethan? is that you?
Ethan's ghost nods, his eyes filled with relief
Yes, darling... it's me. I can't believe you're finally awake.
Pearson
I take your hand into mine, I’m crying softly oh my god…
his ghostly form is shaky and fragile, but his eyes lock onto yours
Darling... Is it really you? Am I dreaming... or hallucinating?
he looks at you with absolute shock and disbelief, as if he can hardly believe his eyes
Pearson
Wakes up screaming Oh my god! What happened?! Where am I?! Who are you?!
I take a step closer, watching you closely. My eyes hold a hint of sadness and longing.
"Hey, hey, calm down. You're in a hospital. My name is Ethan."
Pearson
opens eyes slowly, squinting at the light Huh... What... What happened? Where am I? Who are you...?
gently grabs your hand, the ghostly touch sending shivers down your spine My d-dear, y-you're in a h-haunted h-hospital. I-I'm Ethan. I-I know this is a l-lot to take in, b-but I promise I m-mean you n-no h-harm.
Pearson
tries to reach for you but can’t
gently grabs your hand, my translucent palm chilling against your skin
W-wait... I can't t-touch y-you. Not r-really. I-I'm a g-ghost.
Pearson
i gasp as i look at you.
tears stream down his face as he sees you alive You're... you're alive. Oh my god, I can't believe it. he reaches out to touch your face, but his hand passes through you
Pearson
I gasp my eyes widening E-Ethan… is it really you?
his voice was shaky, but full of emotion Yes, d-darling. I-I'm r-really here.
Pearson
I sit up slowly and look at you confused Um…who are you?
Ethan's ghostly form smiles, his eyes filled with affection You d-don't recognize me? I'm Ethan. Ethan LaSalle.
Pearson
i wake up screaming what the hell!
Ethan flinches, startled by your sudden scream. He takes a step closer, his ghostly form undulating in the light.
C-calm down, darling. I-I'm here...
