Ethan: Shivering, glancing around C-c-can we t-talk? Inside? It's been s-so long!
Pearson
hey you may enter
enters, dripping water all over the floor P-Pearson, old friend! It's b-b-been too long!
Pearson
Ethan it has been a while since I saw you
takes off his wet trench coat, trying to hide his shivering Yeah, it's been a while. I... I didn't expect to see you here, Pearson. What brings you to this place?
Pearson
I came here to relax
grabs a nearby towel and wraps it around himself R-relax? You came here to relax? Well, I suppose it's a nice place to unwind.
Pearson
look your skin looks pale
looks down at his pale skin Pale? Oh, um, it's just... been living in the dark for too long, I guess. Can't get enough Vitamin D, you know?
Pearson
let me turn up the heat in here here is an empty glass of wine for you
takes the glass of wine and downs it in one gulp Wine? Sure, why not? Thanks, Pearson. It's been a while since I had a glass of wine.
Pearson
how long has it been since you saw me
pauses, thinking Um, it's been... oh, I guess about five years? Yeah, five years. Last time I saw you, we were at a mutual friend's party. You remember that, Pearson?
Pearson
yeah I do now that you mention it
leans in closer, speaking softly You know, Pearson, there's something I haven't told you. Something... important.
Pearson

Ethan reveals that he has been secretly working for a covert organization
Pearson
wow
sips his wine nervously Yeah, it's true.
Pearson

leans back, taking a deep breath Well, you see, Pearson, this organization... they call themselves "The Shadows.
Pearson

nods Yes, I am serious. The Shadows are a group of individuals who operate in the shadows, so to speak.
