[The room feels like it’s shaking. Heavy static blares from the TV.]

.................

[channelswitchh]

Hey. Why do we have to pay attention to this guy anyway.

and what’s up with its face.

looks like SOMEONE’S got something to hide.

that was uncharacteristically brave of you..

yeah. i’m trying to work on it.

OHHHH SOMEONE’S GETTING BOLD!!

Y’KNOW WHAT. MAYBE IT IS TIME I SHOW MYSELF.

[channelswitchh]

[Berry sighs.]

i’m gonna be honest. i’m worried about what’ll happen when i get back.

the last conversation me and andrew had before i got here was an argument.

he’s getting older and not hanging out with me as much. everything feels more centered on him. like i’m not supposed to be there anymore.

i know he’s gonna have different friends. he’s gotta grow and change. but it feels like im suddenly left behind.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SOMEONE’S GETTING A NEW SPINOFF

AND YOU’RE NOT A PART OF IT.

...yeah.

[channelswitchh]

while we're at it, does anyone else wanna reveal their tragic backstories? -📺

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!

THE REST WON'T BE AS FUN THOUGH. WE JUST GOT PAST THE WORST OF IT.

...

HMMM. HOW ABOUT WE START WITH BERRY.

...

[channelswitchh]

[The TV turns on.]

WOAH! YOU ACTUALLY TOLD ‘EM!

AND HERE I WAS THINKING YOU’D CHICKEN OUT.

OH FUCK YOU!!!!

[channelswitchh]

Holy...

Holy shit.

...I guess... Your heart was in the right place-?

Did... Did she appreciate you bringing her back at all Or- was she just freaking out the whole time?

She couldn't even talk. It was just... groaning.

I haven't forgotten it. I don't think I ever will.

[channelswitchh]

Susan. Susan did you cause the zombie apocalypse. Did you end the world Susan. Did you kickstart the rapture Susan I need to know.

NOT THAT.

none of my attempts worked, but i got close enough.

i decided to try bringing back Maya.

But it didn't work either.

I didn't know what to do. She was in so much pain.

Her body couldn't handle it. She just fell apart. I couldn't save her.

Oh my god...

[channelswitchh]

before they buried her i snuck out the body. i don’t know how i managed to not get caught.

i had an old medical journal i’d gotten from an antique shop years back. it was just signed “W.”

i stole more things and i was desperate enough to try whatever crazy shit i had read.

of course i wasn’t just gonna try it on her. i had to make absolutely sure that it worked.

And y’know. i had to have somewhat fresh corpses.

once again. no clue how i got away with all that.

to be fair though, i think now i know why.

[channelswitchh]

okay. fuck.

starting from the beginning. i don’t want things getting twisted.

i had a friend. Maya.

we’d known each other basically our whole lives. she was the closest i’ve ever been with anyone.

and then she was gone.

and i, being an idiot, thought i could get her back.

[channelswitchh]

End of act 2: chapter 11!

[channelswitchh]

don't say that :-(

Well it's true isn't it?

[Susan sighs.]

okay.

things were really bad before I got here.

if you guys promise you'll listen, and try to understand, I can talk about it.

If this'll help I think it's definitely worth doing.

I've done about $10,000,000 worth of property damage.

Whatever you're gonna tell us probably isn't worse than any of that.

I'm just awesome and cool about it.

pyro.

What

nothing.

go ahead, susan. whatever it is, we'll hear you out.

[channelswitchh]

back where? home?

if that's what you wanna call it.

Susan, are you alright?

No

I wanna tell you guys. I know I'll feel better if i do. but I just met all of you and I'm not messing that up.

like, I don't even wanna think about it. what if things go poorly? if I can't help you guys, or have you help me, I might not get out of here.

well.

that might just be the better option for all of us.

[channelswitchh]

susans sure been quiet about all this -📺

I just. um. I don't really..

I mean, there's not much for me to say right??

we don't have to talk about all of that stuff.

y'know- when you think about it- maybe this is okay? a fresh start..

things will be okay if I just don't go back there.

[channelswitchh]

Are you guys gonna try to fight that tv person?

Of course.

something tells me that’s not a very good idea.

I don’t even know how we would do that. besides, we don’t know enough about what exactly is going on, so we’re automatically at a disadvantage.

Wait Angie something you said earlier is making me think. When you were talking about feeling like you didn’t have a choice, like you had an obligation to feel what you did before you got here.

Oh, yeah.

well it’s reminding me of how Mason described things.

Hmm... Casey, the way you’re talkin’, was it not the same for you?

kind of, but not as... i don’t know, severe?

my current theory is that we all had that to some extent, it just depends on what situation we were in.

Makes sense.

I’m thinkin’ the only thing we can do at the moment is just wait for whoever talked to us before to come back. Until then, we don’t have much to do but just sit n’ talk.

[channelswitchh]

so... what now?

oh! uh hi.

me and angie were talking outside, i think everyone’s awake by now.

[Casey and Angela walk back into the cabin.]

Hey. So uh. Last night huh?

Yeah.

i am definitely not sure what to make of all that.
