the child searched and searched

but could not find her way out it

5:04

was not her fault nor was it would

5:06

solve

5:07

sometimes people simply lose a way

5:11

mom

5:12

we just came from rudy funeral memorial

5:15

same difference i'll lay out a spread

5:17

i'm telling you nobody's hungry

5:20

ah , actually

5:22

could eat could

5:26

at the first thing people forget to do

5:28

when they're breathing is take care of themselves

5:31

it wasn't a funeral it was

5:32

the memorial same difference

5:36

are you okay

5:38

i'm fine

5:40

sure about that zones because

5:42

you don't want your mom to be right

5:44

because it feels disrespectful to laugh

5:47

right now

5:48

i think if rudy were

5:50

here, he here something like on

5:54

the contrary lily laughter

5:56

can be an unconscious expression of relief

5:58

or release

5:59

what i go on or a sneeze you

6:02

can't help when it comes in when it comes it helps

6:04

you

6:04

now if

6:06

you'll excuse me i'm going to go help dot

6:08

in the kitchen i am starving

6:12

i think if rudy

6:13

the here he'd want to be alive

6:15

it's not your fault isn't

6:18

it you didn't know what he was going to do

6:20

maybe i should have

6:22

maybe

6:23

the up and taking the some lightly like

6:25

it was just a spooky

6:27

adventure one of those theme park

6:29

haunted houses were the only real danger

6:32

is someone get someone scared they punched they van

6:34

the clown

6:35

that's oddly specific three

6:37

rivers haunted hill silence only first aid

6:39

certified scare

6:41

i had a treat the clowns a broken nose more

6:43

than once

6:46

but they were made

6:50

to in a though the riskier

6:52

terrorists

6:53

side of what might happen asylum

6:56

i thought i would just be in chester and hazel

6:58

but they were right it's real and the danger

7:00

is real and rudy is dead and i don't know

7:02

what to do i don't i don't even

7:04

you thought i was setting up with rice he

8:33

and marine and marine we went

8:36

we went i don't

8:38

i thought we were keeping secrets and i'm that he wasn't

8:41

a secret it

8:43

it wasn't supposed to be a secret

8:47

it wasn't a big deal we would go

8:50

and see the place and say hell now

8:52

and then go to that fancy dance hall and julian

8:54

that pretends to be a speakeasy and serves classy

8:56

booze if it wasn't a big deal why didn't

8:58

9:00

i was

9:03

then things kept happening

9:05

9:07

jamie and rudy

9:11

and the more i thought about it

9:14

the more

9:15

the

9:19

i think i should go to the assisted living

9:21

facilities now absolutely right

9:23

now call silas tell him he can

9:25

have the house and try not to kill anyone we really

9:27

like no not right now

9:30

14:37

fast

14:39

he went into his forest to shop

14:41

14:43

before he thought to himself

14:46

if himself just top enough and could enough

14:48

14:52

and so he shocked and

14:54

hot and hacked and

14:57

they

16:04

i've never been very good at doing that i

16:07

16:12

this is a home

16:14

the the police

16:16

i've lived for lack of lack better word

16:19

for a very long time

16:21

there should be comfortable

16:25

16:27

yet i cannot bring myself to go inside

16:30

it does that feel cease it

16:32

is up feel like mine not

16:35

anymore

16:35

i get that

16:39

i mean i have a beer once i'm aware

16:42

the

16:43

it wasn't very good though i've heard this

16:45

is love incredibly creepy according

16:47

to lowly not , all safe

16:50

safe , it

16:53

really wasn't my really wasn't not

16:55

really not this me it

16:58

was also the place i died which is kind of weird

17:00

i died hill and how had no

17:02

the problems with the structure which makes

17:04

sense for you but ,

17:07

now like my parents my my parents

17:09

didn't stay amount absalom long after absalom died

17:12

maybe they tried for maybe bed but for

17:15

like he said he , feel like home

17:17

anymore didn't feel safe and

17:21

also probably just made them sad like the house

17:23

with hundred or something not

17:26

like actually hundred i wasn't there i don't

17:28

think i mean figuratively hunted by

17:30

the memory of me i understand

17:34

no fan

17:36

the

17:37

i am i ,

17:40

very angry adoptable some before

17:42

to the point i did not think i wish

17:44

to see him again

17:46

and now he's gone and even though my

17:48

feelings about his actions were entirely justified

17:51

i feel guilty for not wanting to see him and

17:54

that also makes

17:54

the angry

18:00

i would very much like to see him i

18:03

would like to walk inside the observatory and

18:05

see rudy and tell him so angry

18:07

him am at him dying

18:13

if you been there if he's like as it

18:16

, really have have that

18:18

the same rudy not the one you were

18:20

mad at not the one who was your friend saturday

18:44

and you don't think doctor felt them has that i

18:46

don't think it has any

18:47

the do it really i

18:49

, whoever whoever

18:51

brings you back has to have a reason i'm

18:56

abby why do you have a sledgehammer

18:58

because silas system

19:00

and his limbs and fixes keeping observatory

19:04

19:06

he will not damaged the telescope

19:08

19:28

eventually the little girl found her

19:30

way out of the forest to

19:32

, hadn't intended to keep her

19:35

the absence of her father were not her fault

19:38

however even as she left

19:41

the trees and birds the rocks

19:43

and wolves the darkness and light

19:45

even as she left all of that far behind

19:49

the woods new one day

19:51

she says her because

19:54

they have returned all
