0:00.0	Arthur, when exactly are we? I hear waves. Yes, we're on a blackened coast. Beyond
0:19.6	us a violet lake of jagged rocks. Arthur, I do better than Matt John. What exactly
0:27.3	are the Dreamlands? This is important. Explain to me all you can see. A soft purple glow emanates
0:35.0	from the sky above that stretches as far as the eye can see. The dark mountainous range
0:41.0	that surrounds the lake before us claws at the sky as if trying to escape the land. The
0:47.8	sand here is black like crushed coal and seems to cling to your pants. We're still wearing
0:54.4	our clothes then. Yes, it seems like everything we had, you had, is still here. We had. Right.
1:03.4	Trees surround this lake, though they don't look natural. Dark wood, jagged hook-like limbs hang
1:10.3	loosely from the trees as if they're dragging their knuckles. All is dim here, Arthur. All feels cold
1:18.4	and lifeless as if the sun never fully rises. And yet I can feel things seething around us. Yes,
1:29.4	as of hiding. We should find cover from the rain, if it even is rain. The dark wood to our backs should
1:38.6	do. Okay. Arthur. When we have a moment? No. No. Not in a moment. Now. Fine. I had no choice. Bullshit.
1:52.2	You don't under. If you want to tell me you're sorry, okay, I forgive you. Honestly, it all shook
1:56.5	out with me still here, so I'm willing to move past this. But don't you for a fucking second pretend
2:00.6	you had no choice. Fine. I did have a choice. You're damn right you did. And I chose to become
2:07.0	whole once again without understanding what it would mean, not entirely. Don't make me laugh.
2:13.8	That wasn't the only choice I made. We're at the trees. Fine. We're fine.
2:24.2	So you didn't know what would happen? No. I did it. When I looked into that mirror, I saw myself.
2:31.4	For the first time in, I guess I don't know how long. I saw what I was. Or what I had been. What you are.
2:41.3	No. Not what I am. What I was. What I could be. Maybe. But not what I am. Don't you get it? That's
2:51.8	what was wrong. So you're not remembering you being from the dark world? Bullshit? No. I really didn't
2:57.7	remember any of that. But I do remember what happened. Move further in, Arthur. It's starting to rain heavy.
