00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Okay. 221 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000 That's a cat. 222 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Yes. 223 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,000 I'm going to leave. 224 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Okay. 225 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000 I'm going to leave the cupboard. 226 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000 You're going to leave the cupboard? 227 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000 I'm going to leave the cupboard. 228 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000 I'm leaving it up to fate. 229 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Okay. 230 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Because both decisions felt wrong. 231 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:16,000 So after like thinking it over and feeling like I can't stay here forever, like I could 232 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,759 be waited out, I'm going to get hungry. 233 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:27,240 This is like doing something as opposed to doing nothing is better. 234 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:38,240 So Alydin decides to like play along and come out of the cupboard, and she goes, surprise. 235 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,200 And just for the record, I'm going to get hungry would be like my number one motivation 236 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,200 to just leave the cupboard. 237 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,200 It's going to happen. 238 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,200 I mean, it's going to happen. 239 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,200 Like I'm fairly well-fed now. 240 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,200 And I'm like in a cupboard in the kitchen where I can probably smell delicious things. 241 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,200 I could probably smell that pot roast. 242 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,200 It's pot roast, isn't it? 243 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,200 It's definitely a pot roast. 244 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,200 I knew it. 245 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,200 So. 246 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,200 It's always a pot roast. 247 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,560 She can't help herself. 248 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:07,240 So yeah, she hops out from underneath the kitchen sink and yells, surprise. 249 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,920 Both the adults are startled as you do that. 250 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,600 And you, this is the first time you've had, she has to actually look at them. 251 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:24,720 The woman is, she's, she's quite thin, 5'10", 5'11", wearing a, like a yellow, 252 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,759 like bright yellow dress with an apron on over top. 253 00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:34,720 She's got long curly red hair. 254 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,600 Both of their faces, I'll describe the man first. 255 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,440 He's dressed in more business attire. 256 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,720 Like he's got like gray slacks on, black belt. 257 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,879 Like he just came from work. 258 00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:50,320 Like he just came from actually the, like the crotty. 259 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,600 Business suit, black belt from karate. 260 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,600 Yeah,

hair. 266 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,480 Both of their faces appear obscured to you. 267 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,280 Like you can't quite make out certain, you can't make out really any facial features. 268 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,280 Like you can, you get a sense from their body language and from what you can see. 269 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,600 Like they're shocked and surprised when you come out. 270 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,240 And then there's like a warmth, a bit of a smile that comes over them. 271 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,720 It's the woman, she comes over to you and she says, 272 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,200 how long have you been under there? 273 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200 I've been calling you for what seems like forever. 274 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,680 I

I come and sit down at the table. 279 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Everybody sits down around the table and says, so what have you been up to today, dear? 280 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:25,920 Oh, you

tomorrow, big plans tomorrow. 376 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,600 It's really great to have us all together again. 377 00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:33,440 What are the big plans? 378 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,600 Oh, we'll tell you tomorrow. 379 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,160 Don't worry. 380 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,120 Don't worry. 381 00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:38,440 Why don't you take her up to her bedroom, dear? 382 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,600 The man steps up from the table and says, come on, 383 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,720 and I'll show you your room again. 384 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,960 OK. 385 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,640 I follow him. 386 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760 He leads you down the hallway exiting out of the kitchen. 387 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,640 This is so weird that they're acknowledging 388 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,280 that we haven't been together, 389 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,960 and now we're together again. 390 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,680 And you've never been to your room before, 391 00:19:58,680 --> 00:19:59,520 but maybe you have. 392 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:04,799 But last, let me show you again, like, ugh. 393 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:06,599 So he leads you down the hallway, the one 394 00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:09,799 that you saw, where you presume he had gone. 395 00:20:09,799 --> 00:20:12,519 So there's a small living area. 396 00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:14,319 It looks a little dusty, and then you 397 00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:17,639 can see some cobwebs up in the corners there. 398 00:20:17,639 --> 00:20:20,200 And there is that front entry door 399 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,879 that you heard him leave earlier. 400 00:20:23,879 --> 00:20:26,119 And you look out into the front yard, 401 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720 and there's a white picket fence out in the front. 402 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000 There's an apple tree. 403 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,400 There's a small porch area. 404 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,400 You can't see much beyond the fence, 405 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,600 but you can presume that there's like a field out there. 406 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,160 And then there's a set of stairs that goes up the floor. 407 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,680 And you're heading up, and there are creaky stairs, 408 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,839 and you're following behind him. 409 00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:52,039 And then there's a couple of rooms up top. 410 00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,440 There's what looks like the master suites, which 411 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,600 is where your parents stay. 412 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,360 You kind of take a quick look in there. 413 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:04,080 You see a bed, and a dresser, and a couple 414 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,000 pictures on the wall. 415 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,960 Am I in any of the pictures? 416 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,040 Make an investigation check. 417 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,640 And are they in any of the pictures, 418 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,480 and can she see their faces? 419 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,920 It's all just the placeholder thing. 420 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,720 Good question, Tom. 421 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,240 Never removed anything out of the frames 422 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,040 after they bought them. 423 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,240 The ones that came from Sears. 424 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,520 Yeah, exactly. 425 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,760 23. 426 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,760 Yeah, you get it. 427 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,200 I'm young. 428 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,240 I've got good eyesight. 429 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,000 There you go. 430 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,279 And you just had a bunch of carrots, so even more so. 431 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,640 Yeah, you get a good look at these pictures. 432 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:41,120 And you see three figures in the majority of the pictures, 433 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,920 the man and the woman, and yourself 434 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720 at various different ages. 435 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,840 You can make out your face quite well. 436 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,559 The man and the woman still give that clouded face 437 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:57,359 appearance in each of the pictures. 438 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,799 Really thought I had them there. 439 00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:02,559 OK. 440 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:03,879 I continue to follow him. 441 00:22:03,879 --> 00:22:06,359 And they lead you down the hall, and he opens a door, 442 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,679 a little creek to the door. 443 00:22:08,679 --> 00:22:11,519 And you enter into this room. 444 00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:13,960 And it's a small room. 445 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,879 There's a nice bed and a little desk, a dresser 446 00:22:19,879 --> 00:22:22,159 that is partially open. 447 00:22:22,159 --> 00:22:24,039 There's some clothes hanging out 448 00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:25,440 of one of the drawers. 449 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,319 Yeah, I'm sloppy. 450 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:31,599 Is a nice, floral, no fingernails, 451 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:32,639 wallpaper on the wall. 452

458 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,559 There are a couple of toys. 459 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:55,079 What toys do you see? 460 00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:58,279 Just some, like, there are some dolls. 461
