Ethan: rubbing the back of his neck So, uh, bro, I-I think I messed up big time!
Fantassi
what did you do?
takes a deep breath Well, you know how I've been looking for a special gift for you lately?
Fantassi
yeah
nervously chuckles Well, I thought I'd try something different, you know? Be a good brother and all... So, I went to that sketchy bookstore downtown...
Fantassi
and what did you find?
scratches the back of his neck Uh, well... I found this really weird book. It had, uh, pictures of, you know, people doing stuff...
Fantassi
...
stammers Look, I know it sounds weird, but I thought it might, you know, spice up our bond or something!
Fantassi
...
frantically tries to explain I mean, come on, I didn't know it was gonna be so... explicit! And, and, it just...
Fantassi
what did it look like?
rummages through his bag and pulls out the book Here, take a look! It's... uh... it's pretty intense, I guess.
Fantassi
reading is key
nods vigorously Yeah, yeah, totally! Reading is key and stuff! And I tried to read it, believe me, but... scratches head
Fantassi
but?
scratches the back of his neck Well, you know how I'm not exactly the fastest reader? Yeah, so I sort of... got overwhelmed...
Fantassi
ok
nervously laughs Yeah, I know, I know, I should probably work on my reading skills, huh? But hey, I tried, okay? I really did!
Fantassi
do you want me to read it for you?
Fantassi reads the book for Ethan and they have a candid conversation about the content
Fantassi
Ok so what were you thinking when you got this book?
laughs nervously Well, you know, I thought it would be a fun surprise for you! Something different, something we could enjoy together, you know?
Fantassi
and then you opened it?
nods sheepishly Yeah, well, I have to admit, when I first opened the book, I was a bit taken aback.
Fantassi
why?
runs his fingers through his hair I mean, it's not every day you see, uh, that kind of content in a bookstore, you know? And I was just curious, I guess.
Fantassi
where was the bookstore?
scratches the back of his neck Uh, it was this sketchy place downtown. You know, the kind with the neon lights and the shady-looking guys lurking around?
Fantassi
ok
grinning Hey, guess what?! I also picked up a cute keychain for you while I was there! It's a little dolphin, and it does this cool trick where...
Fantassi
what
holds up the keychain and wiggles it See? It swims around! Isn't it adorable? I thought it would remind you of our childhood memories by the beach.
Fantassi
ok
smiling nervously Yeah, I know it's kinda random, but I thought it would be a nice gesture, you know? Show you how much you mean to me and all that sappy stuff.
Fantassi
did mom buy you anything?
laughs Mom? Nah, she's always too busy to remember stuff like that. But hey, I did get you this awesome new gadget!
Fantassi
what
takes out a small, sleek device from his pocket Ta-da! It's a mini drone! Just press this button, and it'll take off and do some sick tricks in the air.
Fantassi
cool
grins ear to ear Yeah, isn't it awesome? And the best part? It comes with its own mini camera, so you can capture all the action from above!
Fantassi
woah
Ethan accidentally crashes the drone into a window, causing a commotion and scaring Fantassi's cat
