[For some unknown amount of time, Darnold has been clutching the video file to her chest so that no one could see the screen. His heart is out on full display to those in front of him, his life, those years it lost, and it gently murmurs to itself.]
Please… please just stop playing… just stop…
I- ah- you- now hold on, I didn’t- that- uhm-
[He scrambles to his feet, still clutching the video and effectively pressing his back to one of the recycling bin walls. He appears to be standing on his toes, like he’s trying to appear bigger.]

But- it was my f- Don’t leave- Don’t come any closer-
