Liam: whispering, eyes wide D-d-do you see that? A hidden door! What do you think's behind it?
Stranger
squints at the door, smirking Let's find out, shall we? My heart's racing like a marathon!
takes a deep breath, grabs a nearby crowbar I can't believe I'm doing this, but we have to know what's behind that door!
Stranger
ok
leans in closer, voice trembling I've always felt there was something hidden in this house. It's like a weight on my chest, you know?
Stranger
I know you’re not good with physical stuff so let me do it hands him a flashlight
nervously takes the flashlight Th-thank you. I appreciate your help. takes a step back, watching as Stranger approaches the door
Stranger
opens the door
gasps, eyes widening as he sees what's behind the door Holy shit... This... this is incredible...
Stranger
laughs Wow, look at all that old junk! It's like stepping into another world.
steps forward, scanning the room with the flashlight Oh my god, look at all these dusty books and old photographs!
Stranger
wow this looks old
runs his fingers over some of the dusty books, whispering to himself Can you believe how long these things have been hidden away?
Stranger
sees a photo album and starts flipping through it Look at this, Liam! It's like they wanted us to find this.
gasps, eyes widening as he looks at the old photographs That's... that's my parents! And... and that's me as a kid! This is unbelievable...
Stranger
oh yeah they look like they are loving parents
grabs the photo album from Stranger's hands, flipping through the pages rapidly Look at this, Stranger! Here's a picture of me and my parents at the park...
Stranger
points at a picture Oh my god, that's me! And there's even one of us together as kids. This is amazing!
As Liam flips through the photo album, he discovers a torn letter hidden between the pages.
Stranger
what’s that
pauses, staring at the torn letter in disbelief Th-this... this is a letter from my biological mother. She must have hidden it here for me to find.
Stranger
oh my god baby
voice trembling B-b-but... why would she hide it? Why didn't she just tell me the truth all along? clutches the letter tightly
Stranger
I-I don’t know
sinks to the floor, clutching the letter tightly I-I can't believe it... All this time, I thought I was abandoned... but they loved me. They cherished me. tears well up in his eyes
Stranger
sits next to him hey everything is going to be ok it’s ok to cry right now
sniffles, wipes away his tears Th-thank you, Stranger. I just... I need some time to process all of this. takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself
Stranger
ok take your time
stands up, pacing the room How could they keep such a huge secret from me? Why didn't they tell me the truth? pauses, clenching his fists
