N: Ok. Do you have any questions?

Jeremiah: The doors.

N: What?

Jeremiah: The doors, they seem so far away now. What is happening?

N: The doors should all be equal distances from each other. Maybe it's not the doors getting farther but you getting more tired. It could just be the toll of doing the same thing over and over. If you want to stop, you can stop now.

Aaron: But…

N: But I'm just going to randomly toss you into any event. It could be yours, could be hers. You just need to cross your fingers.

George: We'll walk, don't worry.

N: You seem… different. Anything happened to you recently? Good? Bad?

George: I'm sure you know this already but I finally remembered that Lisa and I were together. You bringing us together couldn't have been fate, right?

N: There is no such thing as fate. Anyways I'm sure now that you remember you want to settle down somewhere.

Lisa: Not that it matters to you.

N: Oh sorry about that.

𝙉 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨.

Lisa: I can't wait for all this to end, George.

George: Soon, don't worry. Do you remember anything now?

Lisa: Yes I do! The dining table, you cooked because I always cut myself when trying to use the knife. You helped me take care of my hair. The more I think about it, the more I feel stupid for forgetting.

George: I'm just happy you remember. Don't worry, I have a good feeling about the next one.

Lisa: I'm not worried.

Jeremiah: Let's get moving, guys. Aaron?

Aaron: Sorry before we move, I just want to ask a small request from you.

George: Speak up kid.

Aaron: Please let's not speak of anything you saw or heard in the house. My house.

Jeremiah: We already said we wouldn't judge you so it's ok.

Aaron: Someone here isn't keeping their part of the deal.

Lisa: Aaron, I tried to forgive you. I really did but watching you kill someone again? I saw the same monster I saw when you killed that old lady in cold blood. So I'm sorry but count me out of this "deal".

Jeremiah: Lisa…

George: Lisa, just see it in your heart to for…

𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙛

George: Lisa, come on!

Aaron: You know?

Jeremiah: Know what?

Aaron: The person that is shocking me the most isn't even Lisa. It's George. He said he wasn't in love with her at first.

Jeremiah: He did? Well maybe that's because he didn't have all his memories.

Aaron: I don't think I've ever loved anyone, Jerry.

Jeremiah: Not even your wives?

Aaron: They never lasted long enough for me to say I had any such feeling towards them.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙮.

Jeremiah: Don't worry. You just don't remember it but I am sure you had someone that loved you if you think hard enough?

Aaron: I doubt it but that's ok. Let's just keep moving.

Jeremiah: Your dad! What about your dad?

Aaron: I don't remember anything about him.

Jeremiah: It's ok. We have time, we'll find out more about him. Let's just keep going but if I may ask, what made you... you know?

Aaron: Kill?

Jeremiah: Yeah.

Aaron: I don't know. If I had to pick one thing I enjoyed from it, it was that I was in control. The fact that this person could live or die, breathe or choke was in my hands. After what I suffered with my mother, I couldn't let a woman I couldn't control be in my life any longer.

Jeremiah: But murder?

Aaron: That's only because they weren't my match and I couldn't trust them to keep their mouths shut.

Jeremiah: No matter what happens, if you can avoid it, just don't kill anymore. Please.

Aaron: I've had my fill. It's pointless now anyways.

George: Aaron! Jerry! We found the door!

Aaron: Let's go, Jerry.

Jeremiah: But seriously, can you stop calling me Jerry already?

Aaron: Saying Jeremiah is stressful. It's too long. JE-REE-MIIII-AHH. See?

Jeremiah: Alright fine. Just call me bro from now on.

Aaron: Ok Jerry.

Jerry: Sigh.

George: Haha this is the jackpot.

Jeremiah: Wow. I'm really happy for you. So you can finally settle down huh.

George: Yeah, I guess so.

Aaron: Let's sit and talk a little then.

George: I have to go get Lisa… she might get scared out there. She was always jumping about the smallest things.

Jeremiah: Come on. Just sit, she'll be back. I don't think we have even had time to ourselves since.

Aaron: Yeah.

George: Oh alright. Let's talk then.

Jeremiah: So you have this house all to yourselves now. Any plans?

George: I don't know to be honest. We still haven't seen the story playing out or ourselves.

Aaron: That's one point. So George, you're really doing this.

George: Why are you making it sound sad? Come on, be happy for me!

Aaron: I really wanted to see your secrets, you know. It's not fair that you got to judge me and I didn't get to judge you.

George: Hah I'm just lucky, I guess. I want to say I'll miss you but I doubt it. Let's just hope for the best.

Jeremiah: You must be really happy.

George: I am.

Jeremiah: We might have not spent the longest time together and I don't know how your full story ends but you're a really cool guy.

George: I try my best and hey, I'm sure you guys had memories in a nice ass house too. When you see it, get comfy.

Aaron: Save it, lover boy.

George: Oh please.

George: No way. I don't sound anything like that.

Lisa: You don't get it.

George: Get what?

Lisa: I remember and I'll explain. Just trust me, George.

N: I did.

Aaron: So why didn't you stop it?!!

N: You seem to have forgotten why you're here. You will spend one hour in every event and then I'll come. What happens here has nothing to do with me. Do you understand now?

Aaron: …

N: Why didn't you call me to stop you from killing your mother, Aaron?

Aaron: That's…
