Insideca

lets out a heavy sigh of relief Oh, thank God... pauses, then types quickly Okay, okay, please explain. How are you still alive? How...how did you find me?
Insideca

Insideca
it happened so fast
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Okay, okay... I need to know everything. When it happened, how you survived, everything. pauses, his eyes pleading
Insideca

Ethan struggles to process the revelation that aliens attacked Insideca and that she miraculously survived. He feels overwhelmed with guilt and fear, realizing he failed to protect her from the unknown threat.
Insideca
looks at him
takes a step closer to Insideca, his voice trembling I...I can't believe it... Aliens... attacked us? pauses, his eyes filled with worry
Insideca

snatches the phone from Insideca's hand Show me! Show me what happened! scrolls through the photos frantically This...this can't be real.
