You made your way downstairs into a small kitchen. A round table was in the middle of it, and your watcher was sitting at the table, and by the looks of it, they had knocked over a couple of small things trying to reach the table. Diana was on the table facing your watcher, the two seemed to be playing some sort of game with their hands and paws. Diana looked like she was having fun and your watcher was smiling.

The woman walked past the table without acknowledging your watcher, although the atmosphere did seem to be a bit tense when she did so.

Also, can I change my name to Aeri (just Aeri, no middle/last name?) Okay, then. Im the only one who knows practically anything here about her. Aeri inhaled deeply. So, she said, addressing both the woman and the two other people accompanying her, the girl who was in here with me really only said one thing: that everything was a lie. That Im a lie, youre a lie, were all a lie. Oh yeah, and she seemed really mysterious. Aeri leaned back against a shadowy wall, remembering the last words the girl spoke. Bear with me now.

"What do you think she meant?" I ask, looking around the room we we're in once again before giving the other girl my full attention

April gulped and went to stand behind Diana to watch the game take place, trying to pick up the intricate movements on what was happening. Diana was very intelligent, so she wasn't shocked the two could communicate in some way, but was the watcher making themselves too much at home here when neither of them new the woman?

Diana and your watcher seemed to be playing a game involving claps and high fives. When you moved behind the table the game abruptly stopped, your watcher holding Diana's paws in their hands and looking in your direction. APRIL, CAN WE PLAY NOW? The ghostly hands signed next to their head.

Stop scaring the girl. The woman from before snapped, gliding towards you and offering you a cup of tea. For your nerves.

She carefully took up the tea and shook her head, "I-It's fine, please don't worry yourself.." she guilty added in her head, 'I'm always like this. it's just how Ivy made me' before taking a small slip, setting the warmth slip down her throat, "I-I don't know how to play.."

Your watcher and the woman gave each other a look. Even Diana looked worried.

She is becoming self aware... The woman noted. So, since you are now like this, do you have any questions? About gameplay, perhaps? About your goal?

"I have no memory" she said quietly, "I know nothing." she said it simply, suggesting that any information at all would be interested, "I only know a game is something to be played" she looked down, drumming her fingers against the table nervously.

Heh. I dont know. Aeri replied. If I did, Id be a lot less confused. She wouldnt let me do anything... she just kept on saying that everything and everyone is just a lie. I dont get it. She rubbed her temples and looked around.

"Do you see any way we could escape?" I ask. "We can't stay here forever after all." I look around, trying to se if I can see anything to help us escape.

Shh! Aeri hisses, motioning to the woman in the corner. She walked over to Matty and hastily whispered She... can do things. I can't say them right now for obvious reasons. After saying this, she stood more central in the room. Please, ma'am. I've told you everything I know... except... And then, she has a flashback:

"Me? Testing you for the guys up there?" She pointed her scissors up at the ceiling. "Nah, not them. I hate them, they hate me. And as for lies, lies is what you'll ever hear here. Everything you know is a lie." She smiled mysteriously behind the hood. "You can try to kill yourself, but the System won't let you." She put a finger to her lips, and mouthed the word, lies.

"You seen lost, dear. By the way, narrator wants you to know something, and she says: you should probably listen to me, because what I say has an element to the truth in it, and it will probably answer the question of why you are here." You feel a faint gust of wind, and she was suddenly behind you, her hand gently placed on your shoulder. "You should probably listen to the narrator's indications."

She tapped you on the shoulder. "As I said before, none of this is real. You're not real. I'm not real." Another breeze of wind passed by, and she was gone. The only sound to be heard was a tiny 'clink' coming from where the locked door was.

(Living, there's your escape plan! Plus a bit of a catch-up)

She... the... ma'am? Aeri directed her lost gaze towards the woman. What is 'The System?' She said something about me not being able to die because 'The System' wouldn't let me.
