This stabilizes the portals. I assume you are the new bodyguard? Um, yeah. ETHAN SAGE: Then you can’t be here Line 2: Ethan’s stress dies down as he sees Sophia trying to change. He switches from an instructive to a sad tone ETHAN SAGE: Sophia… Sohpia please leave. This would be like losing you twice. Line 3: Ethan is sad as repressed feelings arise. His sadness turns into frustration, ETHAN SAGE: Sophia this is terrible timing. This could hurt the project in some way and don’t forget that YOU abandoned me…! I was looking for you for months and found you in the Adventurer’s guild by letter. Not even a call or a text! Line 4: ETHAN SAGE: (Urgent) Sophia, stop him!
