Ethan: Looking at the old photographs Look, man! These were our best days at the lake! Remember?!
Vimpaidea
is already there
Ethan: clutching the photograph tightly Look, Vimpaidea! This is us, back when things were simpler! Can you remember this?
Vimpaidea
don’t remember the photos cause I didn’t grow up with you
Ethan: sighs heavily Damn it, Vimpaidea! You don't remember any of this? It's like I never existed to you! throws the photograph on the ground
Vimpaidea
I’m sorry I don’t remember I was only 3 when you supposedly died
Ethan: kneels down, picking up the photograph Three years old... That means you were just a toddler when I... voice breaks
Vimpaidea
When you what?
Ethan: takes a deep breath When I died... I was only three years old too, man! Just a kid... And now I'm stuck here, forever!
Vimpaidea
how did you die?
Ethan: grabs Vimpaidea's shoulders Look, man, I didn't just die in a lake! They said... they said I drowned in a flood! Can you believe that?
Vimpaidea
The pictures I saw were from a car accident, if you were drown it would’ve been in the lake where we are right now
Ethan: lets go of Vimpaidea's shoulders, eyes wide with realization Wait... What did you say? There's more to this story?
Vimpaidea
Yeah, my parents told me you died in a car accident
Ethan: paces back and forth, thinking A car accident? No, no, that can't be right! I remember drowning... the water... it was suffocating!
Vimpaidea
So which is it, a car accident or drowning?
Ethan: runs his hands through his hair in frustration I... I don't know, man! I remember both! I was in a car crash, and then... submerged in water.
Vimpaidea
Maybe you got trapped in the car after the crash and drown in the lake
Ethan: stops pacing abruptly, looking at Vimpaidea with a glimmer of hope Trapped in the car... and drowned in the lake? That... that could make sense.
Vimpaidea
Yeah
Ethan: starts searching the area frantically We need to find those damn car remains! There should be some clues left behind!
Vimpaidea
Let’s look around the lake then
Ethan: grabs Vimpaidea's arm, urgency in his voice No, no! We need to start closer to where we are right now!
Vimpaidea
But we’re already by the lake
Ethan: pulls Vimpaidea towards the edge of the lake Look, man! The water level has risen over the years! It's possible that the car remains are still underwater here!
Vimpaidea
You think the car is under the water right now?
Ethan: nods eagerly Yeah, man! If the water level has risen, then the car could still be submerged underneath! We gotta dive in and check!
Vimpaidea
But it’s pretty deep and we don’t have scuba gear
Ethan: rolls his eyes Come on, man! We don't need no stinking scuba gear! We can hold our breath and dive deep! We're ghosts, remember?!
Vimpaidea
Right
Ethan: grabs Vimpaidea's hand and takes a deep breath Alright, man, let's do this! We're gonna dive in and find those car remains!
Vimpaidea
jumps in the water
As they dive into the water, the pressure makes their ears pop painfully
Vimpaidea
goes really deep and finds the car
Ethan: gasps in disbelief Holy shit, Vimpaidea! You actually found the car!
Vimpaidea
What’s wrong
Ethan: swimming towards the car I can't believe it, man! We actually found the damn car! Now we can uncover the truth and put this mystery to rest!
