[ TURNING AROUND TO PULL HIS CHEEKS ]

You're just... not wanting to see it.

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[homicidalrage]

Don't pull my cheeks.

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[sunflowering]

Don't be stubborn then.

[ But she does let go. And instead reaches into her back to pull out the book from earlier. ]

What is this?

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[homicidalrage]

[ WHICH BOOK FROM WHAT ROOM I'M LOOKING TRACK SORRY ]

A book. I'm sure you've seen them in your time.

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[sunflowering]

[ EXTRA-ORDINARY. ]

I mean this one in particular. Look through it.

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[homicidalrage]

[ THANK YOU.

He'll take it, and frown immediately as he goes through the pages ]

Where did you get this?

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[sunflowering]

It was in the living room.

. . . It was written by your sister, wasn't it? And the notes... they're yours, right?

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[homicidalrage]

I don't know who wrote it.

[ he's taking the book and exiting the room

moving to the window at the end of the corridor

AND YEETING THE BOOK OUT OF IT ]

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[sunflowering]

Your sist--

[ But then he's leaving the room so I guess she's following after him...

AND THEN HE YEETS THE BOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW. ]

NO--! Wait--

[ REACHING OUT THE WINDOW USELESSLY. Before turning back to him. ]

What did you-- Five!

Re: SURVEILLANCE ROOM

[homicidalrage]

Woops.

1/2

[sunflowering]

Not 'Woops'!

2/2

[sunflowering]

Living in a false reality-- maybe it seems nice. But if you just turn your eyes away from reality, then you're leaving behind the real people that exist in this pretty lie.

What about the apocalypse? Who's going to stop that if not you? The words in that book... they were truly your sister's, right? Even if they're hurtful, was it really fine to throw away her feelings like that?

Pretending that the real world doesn't exist doesn't make it less real. But it does mean that you're deliberately choosing a false dream rather than deal face to face with the people you actually love and that love you back.

You're going to lose this game. And if your mind isn't able to overcome the world they used you to try and create to ultimately mess with you, I don't know what part of yourself might be permanently hurt or damaged.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

That book had nothing but equations written in it. I didn't see anything else inside. There was nothing.

The tape too. There was nothing different than usual there. And everything you're saying doesn't make sense. I'm not leaving this place, Yuuki.

If you want me to, well. Then you'll have to kill me.

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

You know that things aren't adding up.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

Even if they weren't why would that matter?

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

Because you're deceiving yourself. And forgetting who and what you really are, and leaving behind the people you love.

Five, it is time to wake up.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

The people I love are right here, Yuuki. I told you you're the one who doesn't make any sense.

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

So you refuse to leave no matter what? Even though you know this is a false reality.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

It's not false, all right? Nothing you've said or provided back up your claims. Maybe there are weird things going around the house. So what? My brother sees dead people, for god's sake.

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

You've seen the proof. You just refuse to acknowledge it. You run away from it... turn a blind eye as though you are afraid. You can't answer any questions about my own world, you refuse to pay attention to what is really on those tapes and chucked your sister's book out a window because facing reality is scary.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

That's hardly proof. I told you there was nothing there. Weird things happen in my life all the time.

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

Why would I lie to you about this?

I want you to listen to me... and to entertain the idea that I'm right. Even if you're unsure right now, entertain the idea that I'm right this once and try to look at this world at the moment with an eye of skepticism. Just do it for today, for the next hour even.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

Either you kill me, or you find something that will manage to convince me without a shadow of a doubt that you are correct.

Only then will I entertain the thought. [ a pause, then he adds ] Unless I'm dead, I mean. That's obvious.

Re: 2/2

[sunflowering]

I'm not going to kill you.

[ Grabbing his hand. ]

Come on.

Re: 2/2

[homicidalrage]

I have work to do Yuuki.

If you're going anywhere else I suggest you do it alone.
