[TEXT]: I'm not too fond of killing sentient beings myself, but...I fear it’s the only thing we can do.
[TEXT]: The Crown Monster has repeatedly been ruining our investigations and cutting them short, harming people and putting them in the hospital, and even killing innocent civilians. Whether it’s kind to kids, whether it’s sentient, it’s still a threat. I fear that if we don’t kill it now, we’ll...
[TEXT]: Let’s just say we won’t be able to find Jared.
[TEXT]: If you don’t trust me, that’s fine. But please, if you can, let’s all meet in the forest on Saturday. Everyone. No one gets a pass on this, I need everyone to come. Everyone should get the satisfaction of killing who attacked them and harmed their loved ones. Even if you don’t believe in harming it, that’s okay, you don’t have to attack it. Just...come.
[TEXT]: Apologies if this is inappropriate, but I was wondering if instead of looking out to search this Saturday, we could all... Get dinner together, or something. At a restaurant. I’ll pay for everyone, so no worries on bringing money.
[TEXT]: I…apologize if this seems too early, as people are still recovering, but I was thinking we could all meet up together again. I figured we could look at Jared’s house and see if there are any clues there.
[TEXT]: Please let me know if there are any difficulties. It’ll be the same time as last time.
[TEXT]: No one should be guilty about the events yesterday. If you ran the minute the creature came into view, you shouldn’t be sorry about that. More people getting hurt would’ve been bad and would’ve decreased our chances of getting everyone out of there alive and safe.
[TEXT]: Please don’t feel guilty if you got hurt, or if you couldn’t help more than you did. It’s okay. Take it easy for now.
[TEXT]: I hope everyone had as much as a peaceful sleep they can get.
[TEXT]: Please meet me by the car for today’s search in an hour. We’ll only be looking inside Jared’s car, today, I’m assuming everyone’s coming, but if you’re not, please message me. If you’d like to bring weapons, feel free to, but there shouldn’t be a need for it.
[TEXT]: I hope everyone can make it. I’ll see you there.
[TEXT]: Truthfully, had I been anywhere else, I am sure you could have 'surmised' how you knew I was there as well. [TEXT]: I certainly hope you are not tracking me or any of the others. [TEXT]: But fine. I shall not speak of this to another soul. [TEXT]: Now then, do explain what you must explain.
[TEXT]: I’m not, I promise. I’m not even sure how I could track you guys.
[TEXT]: Okay, well…
His hands are shaking. It’s not a good sign. He has to swallow down his anxiety and regurgitate a dark secret he’s been hiding for years.

[TEXT]: My name is Rhys Matthews. I’m 26. I know that. I know logically, I should be 36, but I don’t…know. I was born in Georgia, but my family moved around a lot. For a little while, it was just me and my mom. I don’t know who my father is or where he is right now. She…She tried her best, but money was always short, but she’s my mom. All we had was each other.
[TEXT]: Then, there was Lily. She’s my younger sister, 11 years old. She’s…21 now, I think. I’m not sure, I haven’t seen her in ages. Once again, I don’t know how I’m still 26, I promise. I know nothing about it, you have to believe me. She…I took care of her most of the time. Mom was out, and I had to grow up pretty early to take care of her. Mom was trying her best, I knew that, but it was…really difficult some days. Especially when Lily was still a baby.
[TEXT]: I
His voice cracks. Once perfected mask shatters, and every single memory seems to surface again. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.
[TEXT]: It was a couple years befoer I went missing that she went missing. My mom. Not Lily. She just. Left one day. And never came back.
[TEXT]: And the funny part is, no one cared enough to file a report about her! We were still growing. I didn’t know what to do. Lily was…2, I think, at the time. I was 17. It’s funny. I was so grown up, but I still felt like a child.
[TEXT]: Life was tougher. I worked a lot of jobs. And
It hurts. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

It’s a while before Deana gets another response, and even then, it’s shaky — it’s obvious Rhys is crying.

[TEXT]: I apologize for today’s events. I didn’t plan for any of this to happen, and I’m immensely sorry it did. There won’t be another search party for a bit, so please take it easy and rest while you can. I’m aware that we found...many things that could lead to potential leads, but make sure to be in a good state of mind before you approach them.
[TEXT]: To anyone who’s been put in the hospital because of this and is facing hospital bills, contact me and I’ll pay them off.
[TEXT]: Please stay safe and rest for now. I suppose it’s obvious, but I highly recommend not going near the woods or the area around it for a bit.
