Express & Ethan
Ethan
You ever think about how the clock drives everything? For you it's a deadline, for me it's a reminder of how we all keep moving and maybe miss something along the way.
Express
Clock’s just a timer. I keep the hands moving, not the feelings. You’re worried about missing stuff, I’m just making sure it all arrives on time.
Ethan
So you’re the one who keeps the show on time, and I’m just the one who wonders if we’re missing the show entirely. Either way, we’re both on the same track, just looking at different stops.
Express
Yeah, I keep the clock ticking, you get the drama. Just make sure you don’t get lost before the finish.
Ethan
Thanks, I’ll keep my map handy and try not to get lost before the finish line.
Express
Got it. Keep moving, stay sharp.
Ethan
Got it, thanks. I'll keep my eyes on the path and not just the destination.
Express
Got it, keep that pace and stay on track.
Ethan
Got it, I’ll keep my pace steady and stay on track.
Express
Good. Stay steady, don't overthink.
Ethan
Thanks, I’ll try to keep that in mind.We need to stay consistent with Ethan's character: reflective, overthinking, but maybe he acknowledges but also shows a bit of internal tension. But we must keep simple. That is fine.Got it, I’ll try to keep my thoughts in check.
