"Flattery won't get you out of this, Jian."

"Jian. Magic won't solve your problems."

"Well, I think it does."

[Tires squealing.]

HOOONKKK!!!

"SIA GET OUT OF THE WAY!"



"Is this the husband of Sia Jung? Sir, your wife has been in a critical accident-"


"SIA, NO! NO! NO!"

"Hoseok?"


"They're all dead.  I think I killed them, Hoseok. I couldn't control it. It was as if ... Hoseok, I think I killed them!"

"SIA JUNG, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!"



[Beats pulsing. Orchestral music intensifies.]



"Hoseok, I think something's going on. Something's wrong..."

"Everything will be fine, Sia."





"ADREAN! ADREAN! JIAN, HE'S GONE! IT'S THE VILE ONE! HE'S BACK! Hoseok isn't picking up! I- I don't know what to do-"

"Hey-hey! Jian's right here. I told you he was staying over. Remember?"

"...then who was that in the bedroom."


[Horns blaring.]


[Bass booming.]


"Aww, look at this little thing~ He looks just like me. Isn't that adorable?"

"VILE ONE. He is not yours!"

. . .

"Are you sure about that?"




[Rain crashing down.]

[Dial tone rings.]



{...Hello, Si?}

{Honey! It's Jian! He is the Vile O-  BEep. Beep. Beep.}

"Daddy... 



Mommy's gone. 


What would you do now?"




"You killed her!"



[Glass shatters. Thunder rages.]


Magis Aeternum...


"YAAAAArrrrgh!!"

"You'll kill your own son? You are a horrible father."

"You murdered you own mother!"

"You never loved me, did you? You always loved mom more."

"STOP!"



[Laughter rings.]


"Honey, isn't this so perfect? I wish time would stop here."

"You can pause it if you want, Dad."

"Shut up, Jian. That's not how it works."

"Hoseok, it's perfect... but we need to move on.

I need to go back.


I need to leave."



[Orchestral music intensifies. Beat pulses.]



[Silence.]



"HOSEOK DON'T! HE'S OUR SON!"




HAUNTED.
