Chapter 10

Synopsis
I’m not doing so hot.

Nothing makes sense and it’s really starting to get to me.

For starters, Beth is positive that the person on the other end of her Gemini was her son. You know, the one that died.

Took his own life some years back. But she’s convinced it was him. Not sure what to make of it.

So there’s that. But that’s not even the most confusing thing to happen to me in the last hour. That’s be the ink.

No, not me. Actual ink. From a pen.

I was giving a short lesson on ciphers - the puzzle in the last room used one - so I wrote down an example to make it easier to understand.

Rae ended up writing something else down using the same pen.

But the ink was a different colour when Rae wrote something.

I couldn’t figure it out. Why was the pen a different colour depending on who was using it?

I ended up having a bit of a freak out over it. Then I started coughing up blood again. Wasn’t pretty.

And then, I don’t know how to describe it, but the room got all warped and tore into two halves. Impossible, I know.

Aether managed to calm me down, but… I thought I was losing my mind. And hey, maybe I am.

But there’s got to be an explanation for all of that, right?

The complete transcript is here.

Trivia

 * In one of the hint dialogues with Rae, he mentions that he used to smoke a while back, but Tiana had convinced him to stop temporarily. However, when he broke up with her, he returned to smoking, even saying that he would have some on him had their belongings not been confiscated.
