*Special bond between Ethan and Sofia
After an unexpected encounter with Julia, Ethan returns to the QERC Laboratory, where Sofia awaits him anxiously. Seeing Ethan return safely, Sofia immediately approaches him with a worried expression.
"Ethan, I was so worried about you. How are you? Are you alright?" Sofia asks, her voice trembling.
Ethan smiles gently, placing his hand on Sofia's cheek. "I'm fine, Sofia. I managed to thwart the robbery and protect the people there. But there's something I need to tell you."
Sofia sees the seriousness in Ethan's face and senses that something is different this time. "What happened, Ethan? What is it?"
Ethan takes a deep breath, looking into Sofia's eyes sincerely. "When I was inside the bank, I met Julia, a journalist. And... there was something between us, Sofia. I felt a connection that's difficult to explain."
Sofia felt her heart jolt upon hearing Ethan's confession. Although hurt by his admission, she tried to control her emotions. "Ethan, if your heart is stirred, if there are feelings growing for Julia, I want you to know that I'll always be there for you, both as a friend and as a partner in our mission. We've been through so much together."
Ethan grasped Sofia's hand and looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you, Sofia. I don't know how my life would be without you. You're someone incredibly important to me. Despite the growing closeness with Julia, I don't want to lose you."
Sofia smiled gently, feeling the warmth between them. "We'll face it together, Ethan. I'll stay by your side, supporting you in the fight against crime. Our special bond may change its form, but our relationship remains strong."
Ethan couldn't bring himself to express his deep feelings of love to Sofia just yet. Despite noticing the green light signals from Sofia, Ethan still felt it wasn't the right time.
Both of them were engulfed in worry under the shadow of Baron Umbra's evil plans.
Ethan: (holding Sofia's hand with courage) Sofia, even though the threat from Baron Umbra is becoming more real, I promise to always be by your side. Your presence next to me is a source of strength and motivation that ignites my spirit.
Sofia, with a gaze filled with concern, reciprocated Ethan's handhold.
Sofia: (with unwavering determination) Ethan, you are a true hero. I will never stop supporting you in the fight against crime. We must protect the city of Nova from this wicked threat.
Ethan and Sofia looked into each other's eyes, understanding the importance of each other's role in facing Baron Umbra and safeguarding their city.
Ethan: (with fiery courage) With you, Sofia, I feel invincible. Together, we will face every challenge with bravery and the strength we possess. We will be unwavering guardians for the city of Nova.
(Sofia smiles with conviction and blazing spirit.)
Sofia: (with determination) We are an inseparable team, Ethan. Together, we will confront Baron Umbra and ensure that goodness always triumphs over evil. We will protect this city, and nothing can stop us.
The scene concludes with Ethan and Sofia releasing their handhold, ready to face the forthcoming challenges with unshakable spirit, united by a strong resolve to fight crime and safeguard the city of Nova.
Suddenly, Lucas approaches the two of them in the open lounge area.
Lucas: (with an admiring gaze) Ethan, your actions in foiling the bank robbery earlier were extraordinary. You truly are a hero. Seeing you in action alone with your bravery and skills, it's truly awe-inspiring.
(Ethan smiles humbly, feeling touched by Lucas' praise.)
Ethan: Thank you, Lucas. But this is our collective duty to safeguard the security of this city. Everyone plays an important role in protecting the community from lurking threats.
Lucas: I think those robbers might be members of the Black Sun, in my opinion.
(Sofia continues the conversation with seriousness.)
Sofia: Lucas is right, Ethan. It's highly likely that the robbers are members of the Black Sun, a highly dangerous and audacious criminal organization. We need to remain vigilant and carefully monitor the city's security. They won't stop committing crimes.
(Ethan nods firmly)
Ethan: You're right. We need to be vigilant eyes and ears, ready to combat any emerging threats. This city is our responsibility, and there's no room for crime to thrive here.
(Lucas and Sofia embrace Ethan's words with equal determination.)
Lucas: We're ready to collaborate with you, Ethan. We will work together to ensure the city's security is well-maintained, putting in our utmost effort. No one can slip past our watch.
Sofia: We are an inseparable team. Together, we will confront every challenge that arises and keep this city safe. Prepare yourselves, Black Sun, because we won't give you an opportunity to do evil.
Ethan, Lucas, and Sofia, united by a strong resolve, are ready to protect the city from criminal threats. They leave the room with unwavering confidence, prepared to carry out their duties as guardians of the city's security.
