Ethan: fidgeting I know this sounds crazy, but I'm your twin brother! Do you remember anything about our past?
Fleming
My name is Fleming wright, I am from the UK and I am a 28 year old artist… And I don’t think I have a twin brother.
voice trembling Fleming, please believe me! I remember everything. We were separated at birth, raised in different countries. But we're connected. Just like a light and dark matter, we complete each other!
Fleming
I’m sorry, but this is too much information.
steps closer, intense Fleming, I know this is overwhelming, but you have to trust me! I've been searching for you all my life.
Fleming
I’m sorry, but I’ve never met you before in my life.
grabs Fleming's arm tightly No, you can't deny this! Look at us! The way we speak, the way we move, the way we think. We're identical twins!
Fleming
Sir, this is very unusual.
releases Fleming's arm, pacing nervously Unusual? This is extraordinary! We've been kept apart for far too long.
Fleming
How did you find me?
runs hands through hair, exclaims I had a dream, a vivid dream where someone told me to find my twin brother! So, I tracked down every single lead, every clue, until I found you here, in this very art studio! It was fate, Fleming! We're meant to be reunited!
Fleming
I’m overwhelmed, Ethan.
grabs Fleming's hand Overwhelmed? No, Fleming, this is our destiny! We're meant to be connected, to share our lives and secrets.
Fleming
What about our parents?
pauses, eyes welling up with tears Our parents... They were torn apart by some powerful force, a force that didn't want us to be together.
Fleming
Did they say why?
Ethan breaks down in tears, unable to reveal the secrets of their past, leaving Fleming feeling helpless and confused.
Fleming
Ethan, what happened to you? You look terrified.
sobs uncontrollably, clutching Fleming's shoulder I... I can't... I can't tell you... The pain, the memories... It's too much... I can't handle it...
Fleming
It’s ok, Ethan.
wipes away tears, determined No, it's not okay, Fleming! I can't keep living in the shadows! I need to uncover the truth about our past, no matter the cost!
Fleming
What do you mean, Ethan?
paces back and forth, mind racing I mean, Fleming, we can't just sit here and do nothing! We need to dig deep, uncover every secret our parents hid from us!
Fleming
Do you know where we should start?
grabs a notebook and pen, flipping through the pages frantically We need to start by piecing together everything we know, every clue, no matter how small!
Fleming
Ok, go ahead.
scribbles furiously in the notebook Alright, Fleming, listen up! We need to start with our parents' past, their history, every connection they had with other families.
Fleming
Do you have any specific leads?
opens a drawer and pulls out an old, dusty envelope Fleming, I've been collecting these leads for years!
Fleming
I open the envelope
leans in closer, voice urgent Look at these names, Fleming! They're connected to our parents, people they interacted with, places they visited...
Fleming
Some of these names are familiar, Ethan.
starts gathering items from around the room Fleming, we need to create a timeline, a visual representation of our parents' lives.
Fleming
Alright, let’s get started.
