Ethan: softly, tracing his scar You ever think 'bout what happened here?
Williams
Yeah well I ain’t forgot no fire
leans in closer, voice low It's funny, isn't it? How we remember things differently. The fire, the scars, they're all burned into our memories.
Williams
All I remember is people screaming
squeezes Williams' hand gently People screaming, chaos, confusion... It's a lot for anyone to handle. But we made it out, didn't we?
Williams
yeah we did
gently caressing Williams' cheek I'm sorry for bringing up painful memories, Williams. But maybe it's time we face them together.
Williams
I hug him tightly
returns the hug, whispering softly Shh, it's okay, Williams. We don't have to go through it alone anymore. We'll find closure together.
Williams
I nod
pulls away slightly, looking deeply into Williams' eyes Williams, I promise you, we won't let those painful memories define us.
Williams
I hum in response
stands up, holding out his hand to Williams Come on, let's take a walk. Clear our heads and talk about something else. How about we play a game of chess?
Williams
I nod and I follow him
leads Williams to the chessboard set up in the middle of the room Alright, Williams, I'll make sure to go easy on you.
Williams
ok
smirks Don't get too confident, Williams. I may be easy on you today, but I won't go down without a fight.
Williams
you promise
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet I do! Prepare to be amazed, Williams. This chess game won't be a cakewalk!
Williams
ok
As they play chess, Ethan and Williams become increasingly immersed in the game, their competitive spirits igniting a passionate and intense atmosphere.
