Aiden: sighs, staring at the old radio Dude, turns out the guy who raised me? My real brother, man. Wild, huh?
Holland
That’s crazy!
Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it, fam. It's like my whole damn world's been turned upside down. pauses But hey, enough about that.
Holland
listens
snaps fingers Alright, let's switch gears. So, tell me about yourself, Holland. What's your deal?
Holland
My father left me when I was a kid. I became a fighter to survive. When I came to my senses, I discovered I was a werewolf. I guess my father was one too. I’ve been living in the woods until I decided to come here. I’m not the kind to just talk to anyone so.. I’m sorry if I seem awkward…
leans back, grinning Well, well, well, looks like we're both a pair of misfits, huh? pauses No need to apologize, Holland.
Holland
Why do you say that?
smirks Because we're both trying to find our place in this messed up world. And let me tell you, it ain't easy being the underdog.
Holland
Underdog?
Yeah, the underdog. You know, the one who's always getting stepped on, pushed around, and told "no" by everyone.
Holland
..I see.
stands up, paces Look, Holland, I've spent my whole life feeling like an outsider. Like I didn't belong anywhere. But you know what?
Holland
What?
stops pacing, looks directly at Holland What I've realized is that it ain't about where you come from or who you are.
Holland
It’s about where you want to go.
Aiden and Holland form a deep bond, finding solace in each other's company and supporting each other through their shared struggles
Holland
looks down I’m sorry if I seem awkward…
smirks Awkward? Nah, fam, I ain't buying that crap. You're just being yourself, and that's something rare in this world.
Holland
Thanks, Aiden…
puts a hand on Holland's shoulder No problem, Holland. We're in this together now.
Holland
smiles
grins mischievously Alright, Holland, since we're on a roll here, let's do something fun. How about we sneak into the local water tower and catch a glimpse of the stars?
Holland
laughs Stars? Are you serious?
nods enthusiastically Dead serious, Holland. We've been cooped up in this tiny town for far too long.
Holland
Yeah?
Hell yeah! Now, let's get to it. grabs Holland's hand and starts sneaking towards the water tower
Holland
follows Aiden This is illegal, you know that right?
whispers Illegal? Pshh, who cares about legal? The town's too damn uptight anyway. Besides, life's all about bending the rules every once in a while. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
