Alright, Tommy... I’m fairly certain Benrey is asleep now... I think he’s sensitive to lights though, since I had to turn it off for him to sleep. Anyways... you wanted to tell me...?

Well... Mr. Freeman, I-I noticed an odd file a f-few days ago. Not to- Not to mention my dad went miss- disappeared between then and- and when he brought the box over.

Wait... are you saying that... it might not have been Mr. Coolatta?

W-Well, for one, it was o-only because of Joshua’s draw- drawing that you knew it was h-him. Why leave it here when he could- he could’ve given it directly to you?

You... That’s a fair point... Something really is off here...

Unfor- Sadly, that’s all I- I could figure out... I was going- was going to look at the file today, but it- it vanished...

Ah... It’s alright, we just... need to find it again. Hopefully Dr. Coomer will have some ideas...

Hope- Hopefully, Mr. Freeman...

I know it’s late, but Coomer, please pick up the phone...

A click is heard.

Hello, Gordon!

Oh, hey Dr. Coomer! I uh...I wanna talk to you about something.

Oh? You know I’m always here to listen, Gordon!

It’s about Benrey... He’s back, and he’s- well... it’s very complicated... He’s lost all his memories. Or well, he had. He’s remembering things now, but that’s not the only thing. He’s also.. tiny. Also a doll. And G-Man dropped him off in a box at my doorstep a few days ago.

There’s also something up with the... ‘biology’ of the environment, or something... Tommy and I are waiting until Benrey falls asleep to talk about that, though. We can fill you in tomorrow, we don’t need to worry Bubby with you suddenly coming over... sorry, I’m making assumptions. Have you...?

. . . No... I’m still not sure if I should. But... your predicament is indeed perplexing. I’ll visit tomorrow, and then we can sort things out more. You should get some rest yourselves, I have a feeling that things aren’t quiet what they seem...

What's everyone's favorite song? I'm asking because I have a song stuck in my head (and also, why not? Simple questions time)

Frank Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me To The Moon.’ It’s very calming, in my opinion.

I-It depends on my mood, but I usually- usually listen to daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra’s Movement 1, also called ‘Invocation Of The Duke.’ It helps me- helps me think.

two trucks. said this a couple times now.

[bones-and-boxes]

yo tommy or benrey, any idea why benrey only remembers tommy out of everyone? -🐀

O-oh, I think I can answer- can answer this! It might be that- that Benrey’s memories have cer- certain triggers that have to be- to be hit in order to help him remember! That- that’s why he’s only remembering bits and pieces!
