Voice#1: That is where you're wrong.

June: (turns around and gets hit in the face) Who's there? Where are you?!

Voice#2: Such a foolish question. (Hits her in the side)

June: (falls down, holding her side) I actually felt that. Wait, pain...in a dream state? This is bad.

Voice#3: We've been here the whole time.
