โย How long did you think you were inside? โ
โย All work and no play, it soundsโฆnot healthy. โ
โย I thought you were gone. โ
โย I donโt know where it was, orโฆwhat it was. โ
โย You must be able to tell me something. โ
โย I deserve a better explanation than no explanation. โ
โย I saw you. I recognized you. Your face. โ
โย I donโt feel very well. โ
โย Stay with me, baby. Iโm right here with you. โ
โย You must be feeling dreadful. Itโs a hangover from the sedative you were given. โ
โย I want to know what the fuck Iโm doing here. โ
โย Did he ever mention where he was going, what he was doing? โ
โย Itโs not easy to move on. โ
โย We have many theories, few facts. โ
โย We need to come to an agreement about what to do with you. โ
โย Youโre not going to let me go home? โ
โย Is that what you want? To go home? โ
โย I was just looking at the moon. Itโs always so weird seeing it like that, in the daylight. โ
โย I get really turned on when you patronize me. Itโs really hot. โ
โย You didnโt tell me where youโre heading this time. โ
โย I know thereโs something strange about this mission. โ
โย If you step outside and you look up, weโll be looking at the same stars. โ
โย Donโt you think we should make friends? โ
โย You know, I always see you here alone. โ
โย The people here put themselves to sleep in the fetal position making cooing noises. Itโs freaky, you know. โ
โย Do you have to hit on everyone, like all the time? โ
โย Under the circumstances, I think Iโm allowed to roll the dice a few more times. โ
โย What do you think happened to them? โ
โย Well, there are two theories of what went wrong. One, something kills them. Two, they go crazy and kill each other. โ
โย I am so sorry. And I know what I have to do. โ
โย You want to come with us. โ
โย You can fight. You can learn. You can save him. โ
โย That was a brave choice. โ
โย You gotta give me a second. Iโm a little disoriented. โ
โย We did a food inventory. From the depletion, weโve been out here for at least three or four days. โ
โย So weโve got no compass, no comms, no coordinates, and no landmarks. โ
โย Letโs pack up and get moving. Weโve already lost a lot of the day. โ
โย Anything interesting in there? โ
โย Okay, just breathe. Itโs okay. Youโre just fine. โ
โย Is it possible these were hallucinations? โ
โย It was dreamlike. โ
โย Sometimes it was beautiful. โ
โย All other lives feel like a lifetime ago. โ
โย Volunteering forโฆ this. Itโs not exactly something you do if your life is in perfect harmony. โ
โย Weโre all damaged goods here. โ
โย More mutations. Theyโre everywhere. โ
โย Thereโs beds and bags. You think people are here? โ
โย Letโs not jump to conclusions. โ
โย "For those that follow.โ I believe that means us. โ
โย Okay, so we know what happened to the last group. They went insane. โ
โย That was a trick of the light. โ
โย I donโt want to stay here tonight. โ
โย Itโs too late in the day for us to move on. โ
โย I gotta leave a day early. โ
โย The mystery unraveling? โ
โย Iโm at least as freaked as [name]. Iโm just hiding it better. โ
โย Whatโre you doing up? Not supposed to relieve me until 3:00. โ
โย Iโm done sleeping for the night. โ
โย Iโd say youโre confusing suicide with self-destruction. โ
โย Almost none of us commit suicideโฆ and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. โ
โย Isnโt self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell? โ
โย Wake up. Somethingโs happening. โ
โย [name] was next to me. Something took her. โ
โย We have to go back. โ
โย Iโm fine going on my own. You just need to decide whether youโre coming with me or not. โ
โย And thanks for the fucking backup. โ
โย Youโre saying we get out by going deeper? โ
โย You lied to them. โ
โย I didnโt know what going back meant. Why it would be safer than going forward. โ
โย Justโฆ leave me the fuck alone. โ
โย That doesnโt make any sense. โ
โย Itโs literally not possible. โ
โย This was a mistake. โ
โย Whatโs really going on here? You think that something may have happened to him? โ
โย You think somehow heโs found out about our affair. Has he found out? โ
โย Iโm not interested in talking, or in anything you have to say. Just get dressed and get out. โ
โย You know, itโs not me you hate, itโs yourself. โ
โย You lying bitch! โ
โย Why didnโt you tell us? โ
โย So nothingโs confirmed. Everythingโs on their word.
โย Did you kill [name]? Did you lose your shit? โ
โย Do you think Iโve lost my shit and weโre gonna fuck each other up? โ
โย Oh, God. When I look at my hands, and my fingerprintsโฆI can see them moving. โ
โย Iโm not the one tied to a chair. You are. โ
โย We are disintegrating. Our bodies as fast as our minds. Canโt you feel it? โ
โย The person that started this journey wonโt be the person that ends it. I want to be the one that ends it. โ
โย Itโsโฆ in me. โ
โย It will be in all of us. โ
โย Imagine dying frightened and in pain, and having that as the only part of you which survives. I wouldnโt like that at all. โ
โย [name] wants to face it. You want to fight it. But I donโt think I want either of those things. โ
โย One by one, all gone, except you. How do you explain that? โ
โย I had to come back. โ
โย What was I? Was I you? Were you me? โ
โย My flesh moves like liquid. My mind is just cut loose. I canโt bear it. โ
โย You ever seen a phosphorus grenade go off? Theyโre kind of bright. Shield your eyes. โ
โย If you ever get out of here, you find [name] โ
โย We spoke. What was it we said? โ
โย Itโs not like us. Itโs unlike us. โ
โย I donโt know what it wants. Or if it wants. โ
โย So it was alien. Can you describe its form? โ
โย It came here for a reason. โ
โย If what you encountered was once alive, it seems itโs now dead. โ
โย You arenโt [name]โฆare you? โ
