"Wh-what?" He stared up at her, taking a step back. "You're—"

"I'm?" She mocked, picking up her cards and shuffling them. "I'm your roommate. Congratulations, Norman, you get the misfortune of being the person I inconvenience for the next year. Be excited."

"What are those pills for?" Norman asked carefully over breakfast one day, making [First Name] look up from her card game to glare at him. 

"Excuse me?" 

"You heard me."

Scoffing, she leaned back in her chair, taking a bite of her breakfast. "Numerous things. I've been a Lambda experiment since birthit's what I was bred for. You wanna know so badly? Fine."

Hugging her favourite experiment, Elizabeth led [First Name] to the mass experiment rooms, unlocking one of the doors and bringing her over to the corner. "[First Name], this is Barbara, Zazie and Cislo. I hope you'll get along."

Scrunching her nose at the smell and the rot, [First Name] looked around before scanning the three up and down. "Sure."

"February 11, 2047. That's the day we'll set it into action."

"And how do you know that?"

"Let's just say I have a few resources."

»»————- ➴ ————-««

Scribbling down fake predictions, [First Name] put the notebook in the transfer box, running her tongue over her teeth. Locking eyes with Norman, she smiled darkly, nodding just enough for him to see.

Initiated.

"It's my dream. We're connected at a subconscious level by now, I guess."

»»————- ➴ ————-««

'You're still fucking here?  Why can't you just go away?!' [First Name] angrily thought, making the shadow man laugh.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Not until you realise what you need to do."

"Oh my God, I hate you."

"Checkmate." Norman smiled at her smugly, watching as she glared at him, enraged.

"You should've been swallowed."

"The folder!" Ray shouted, fumbling to pull a folder out of his bag. "You said it's called Goldy Pond? You mean a hunting ground?" 

"How the hell do you know that, cyclops?"

"Let's just say I have a few resources."

»»————- ➴ ————-««

"James and Rachael Ratri are William Minerva and Amity Alloway. Siblings. How the hell did [First Name] know that?"

"You're telling me [First Name] had everything that's been happening so far in that folder?"

"Yeah."

»»————- ➴ ————-««

"The folder... I think it's important, Ray. Why would she give it to you without any ulterior motive? I think she was trying to help us in her own twisted, weird way." 

"I think she was just trying to confuse us, Emma!"
