The truth...

[ oh. he runs a hand through his hair ]

You got to talk to her?

[ her her, not... demon her. ]

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

Yeah, I did. Honestly, I don't know what I did to make it work... I just kept insisting.

[unpredicktable]

I'm glad. That she got to talk to someone.

[ he crosses his arms with a frown ]

Monika told me... I assume what she wanted me to tell you was that originally, she was part of a simulation.

[uncurtained]

A simulation?

[She tilts her head, curious.]

Like... What kind?

[unpredicktable]

She asked me if I thought this place was real. If it could maybe be a simulation, because she was part of one that was similar to this. That this place reminded her of that. [ he sighs ] AI was the closest descriptor we could come up with for her.

[uncurtained]

...So that's what she meant about having a theory about this place.

[She sighs.]

What do you think about it?

[unpredicktable]

It's a possibility.

[ it's said slowly, head tilted ]

It'd explain a lot of the discrepancies about this place, and it's a lot simpler an explanation than the... separate haunted dimension thing. [ he shakes his head ] But it's one explanation among many. I've been keeping it in mind, but not taking this place as it presents itself could be dangerous. So... I guess I'm keeping an eye out.

[uncurtained]

Right. Tough to have a strong theory until we learn more about this place, right...?

[unpredicktable]

No kidding. [ he hums ] Right now, I'm working off the assumption our best bet is to figure out what happened to the previous group. We know something happened to someone's brother, and we know our ghostly friends' trip with demons wasn't nearly as haunted as ours. They had personal announcers, according to the one from Friday.

[uncurtained]

Not as haunted, maybe, but... Probably just as deadly, if not more.

[unpredicktable]

Definitely more deadly. But who brought the demons to them in the first place? The burn book, the announcements, this place... This wasn't a cruise gone wrong.

[uncurtained]

I want to believe nobody in their group was as stupid as Polly...

[unpredicktable]

I'd say murdering three people to get laid is a little more than stupid.

[ he's never getting over that so let's move on-- ]

...but I also don't think it's a coincidence that two rooms were conveniently unlocked, as well as the rest of us conveniently unconscious, on top of the only person in this place being able to partially read that book being one of the four sent up to the room containing it.

[uncurtained]

It's one of a large number of words I would use to describe her.

[But, anyways.]

So... You think whoever sent Polly and the others up there wanted the demon to get unleashed, or whatever?

[unpredicktable]

I think she was baited into it, yeah. [ he grimaces ] Not that it absolves her of anything, but we were definitely always meant to summon that demon.

[uncurtained]

What do you think would have happened if she didn't...?

[unpredicktable]

[ he shakes his head ]

I'd like to think no one else here would've gone that far, but I can't know that. Maybe it would've been someone getting tricked instead of baited, maybe someone would've gone mad with the wait-- there's no point in spiraling into what could have been. She has, and we're living with the consequences.

[uncurtained]

...I guess not. It's just kind of frustrating, but - you're right, there's no point in fixating on it.
