Chapter 66 - chapter 66

DAMIAN

Yeah. I didn't want anyone to notice.

ELLA

It's barely visible now. Maybe that's why I didn't notice it earlier.

DAMIAN

So you don't have any?

ELLA

Nope.

DAMIAN

But how can we share the same dream… with the same people… and the same scenario?

ELLA

Yeah… it doesn't feel like a coincidence anymore.

Damian – Hey, well… it might sound a bit awkward, but… you came into my dream last night. (hesitant, shy)

Ella – Oh, well… same here too. (smiles shyly)

Damian – Really? In mine, it was Anne at first—and then she suddenly turned into you. I was so shocked.

Ella – (standing, surprised) No way! In my dream, Alex changed into you. It was so sudden, I got scared and confused.

Damian – Does that mean…

Ella – What? Say it. Don't keep it in, you're making me more scared and confused! (steps closer to him)

Damian – No, nothing… it can't be possible.

Ella – Still, tell me.

Damian – What if you and Anne… and me and Alex… are connected somehow? (confused)

Ella – How? (frowning, equally confused)

Damian – I don't know—just a thought. That's what usually happens in scripts, right?

Ella – Don't be ridiculous. There's a difference between fantasy and reality.

Damian – I said it can't be possible… (sighs, looking away)

Ella: Look, you visit a psychiatrist, right? Can I get their number too? I think I'll need one.

Damian: It doesn't help. I've been taking those medicines for a long time. The scar's healing, but… the dreams—they're still there.

Ella: I'm going crazy. I don't want to talk about it right now. (She turns away, brushing her fingers through her hair.)

Damian: (thinking, watching her) She gives off the same vibe as Anne… no doubt about it.

Damian phone rings.

Mr. Mah (on call): Hey! You've got a photoshoot now. Aren't you late? Come on, hurry up!

Damian: Oh, yeah—totally forgot! (He stands quickly, a bit flustered.)

Ella: What a day… (She sighs and follows him out.)

Scene changes to:

Damian posing with a face cream while the cameraman clicks his photos. Ella stands among the staff, quietly watching him.

Ella (thinking):

"What if you and Anne, and me and Alex, are connected…"

Could that really be true?

He does give off the same vibe as Alex — especially after I got to know him.

Even if he's not Alex… he's still better.

Wait—what are you thinking, Ella? Stop it. He's your boss!
