Well, that's alright.

I went and looked.

[he flashes the picture of the blank journals in the study.]

Kinda weathered to be new.

... That doesn't mean anything. Where did you take that picture?

Your father's study.

But let's shift gears here. What sort of things does your family put in its attic?

Mementos of how well raised you were?

Things we don't need to use every day. Obviously.

Like?

Old furniture? There's a couch Klaus threw up on.

So, no boxes of well kept weaponry?

[another photo to flash]

... that's for self-defense.

Ah yes.

That explains the infirmary.

[and then he flashes that photo.]

Though, you'll have to explain the mannequins to me.

[ he glares at him as he shows him that picture ]

Put that away.

Why? What about this photo is particularly upsetting compared to the stash of-- well. Interesting self defense weapons that really aren't where they're needed if you're going to be self-defending?

Quit it already, Jason. Nothing you say makes sense and that picture isn't real. It's only frustrating.

So spare me the crap and leave me alone. I have work to do.

I told you, this world is a lie. And some of these are the cracks.

You don't want to talk about your dad's stories because you don't know what they'd be. The infirmary is upsetting because it reminds you about the weapons in the attic.

And the weapons are in the attic because of course they'd be. That's where you put the stuff you don't wanna think about until you absolutely have to.

Do I really need to reference the time we talked about being child soldiers?

I was never a child soldier. I don't know what you're talking about.

Ah yes, that's why the trappings of this placing being a home are mostly fake. Like... the random bass in the basement?

Valour, do you even know how out of place that is? Who keeps a random bass guitar unless they're just guessing at what normal kids might have?

And it was made out of cardboard anyway.

Do I need to get the picture of that one too?

It's not made of cardboard and one of my siblings plays it.

[he sighs, and pulls out the picture of the clearly cardboard guitar]

Valour, you're a man of facts and reason. Don't make me change that opinion.

There was a real one there.

Just because you saw something different doesn't mean what you say is true. To begin with, why would I hallucinate any of this?

Because the truth sucks, and there's something comforting in the lies we tell ourselves.

Oh yeah, the food was cardboard too-- get a look at this.

[another photo flash]

[ he's not bothering to look. Instead, he walks out of the observatory and to the roof ]

Klaus playing pranks, almost certainly. It doesn't mean anything.

[he follows, and then pulls out the tape-- offering it to him.]

Then try this.

Also, I guess it's worth pointing out... the only things that are part of this otherwise normal, happy childhood... are the things that you like from Tokyo-f. Baritones. Taisho. The random people whose company you enjoy.

They've become part of this whole facade but... I think the video's gonna be the most salient point.

[ taking the tape and strongly considering just throwing it off the roof tbh ]

It's just surveillance tape, why would I want to watch it?

If it's just a surveillance tape, why wouldn't you, just to prove me wrong?

Fine. I'll come check with you, but that doesn't mean I believe you.
