It’s weird. I couldn’t actually see, for some reason he was really shadowy... But I felt like it was someone I knew. But that’s... impossible.

[crashout]

What makes it so impossible? Have you looked at where we are? [A wave of his hand.] This place seems to excel at being impossible.

[uncurtained]

No, I... think it must have been some kind of illusion, or a vision of something that wasn’t really there. Not really him.

[crashout]

That doesn't explain why it's impossible, Beck. [He's going to push on this subject for. Reasons.]

[uncurtained]

He didn’t even say anything, he just... Stood there and stared. The person I knew wouldn’t do that. Besides, it wasn’t just me in that room, so - I’d be willing to bet the others saw someone different.

[crashout]

Did you ask them? [No, maybe that doesn't matter.] Where did the fourth player go? Did you see them leave?

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

We... might have passed out, and he was gone when I woke up.

[crashout]

Might have? [Now he just sounds a little more alarmed.] What the hell? What happened to cause that?

[uncurtained]

I don’t know. We were playing, and then all of a sudden I was laying on the ground with this awful headache and this weird feeling in my arm.

[Along with the bleeding. Bad!]

[crashout]

[A glance to her arm.] Is it still feeling weird?

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

Yeah. It's like... this burning sensation.

[crashout]

[Bad. ] Wonder how long that's gonna last. [...] Are you feeling okay otherwise? Nothing else weird?

[uncurtained]

The headache, the pain in my arm, and I guess now the nosebleed... That's it, other than the stuff I was already feeling. It's not the best combo.

[crashout]

I would think not. [He closes his eyes. ] Surprised to find you here instead of somewhere else.

[uncurtained]

...I didn't really want to go back to the room yet.

[She hesitates, frowning.]

It's weird, it's like... I can't stop thinking about him. [...] My dad.

[crashout]

...the guy you saw. [Is he qualified for this?] You miss him?

[uncurtained]

[She pauses for a moment, inhaling.]

...Loaded question. Yes and no?

[crashout]

[He should stop asking questions. But he seems to be watching her closely.]

...I get it. My relationship with my parents is kind of weird, too, I guess.

[Then again maybe not their fault their son fucked off to be an underground detective and hasn't called home very often.] Suddenly I can see why you'd say it was impossible for him to be here. Unless...[Hostage situation?] When was the last time you saw him?

[uncurtained]

...A very long time.

[She takes in a breath.]

I miss - the person he was when things were normal.

[crashout]

...I'm also guessing there's no way to get back to normal? Whatever normal means.

[uncurtained]

[She pauses for a moment, but:]

He isn't around anymore, so no.

[crashout]

[Like. The words aren't hard to figure out and he looks a little taken aback.]

Oh. I...sorry, I didn't think that's what you meant.

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

No, it's - I mean, it's not okay that it happened, but you're okay.

[crashout]

[There's a nod, but.] This place really is a piece of work, isn't it.

[uncurtained]

[She nods, but it seems like her nose has stopped bleeding, at least; she moves the sticky note away from her face.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to make things... this serious.
