John Roberts: eyes flicker D-did you... find... the... letter?
I look at your family members I found this...do any of you know what it means?
His mother steps forward, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and shame. She grabs the letter from your hand.
John Roberts' mother: This... this is... a family secret. We've kept it hidden for decades. Why are you involved in this?
I did.. but why hide it away?
eyes narrow slightly It was... a secret... We didn't want... the world to know.
struggling to speak The... one I hid... years ago...
straining Hidden... in my... desk drawer. You won't... believe what it says.
Yeah, John. We found it. What does it say?
John's eyes dart around, searching for the letter It's... not good... he whispers, voice cracking
I lean closer to him no not yet babe. what do I need to look for?
John's eyes slowly open as he tries to speak The... safe... hidden... behind... the... painting. Hurry.
I found it I open the envelope that was left by your sister revealing dark secrets about your family
John's eyes narrow, still slightly dilated as he struggles to focus on the envelope. What does it say...?
his voice is weak and raspy My sister... left a letter... somewhere... he coughs I need you to find it...
I did find it. But why did you hide it?
his eyelids flutter I... I was afraid... afraid of what people would think. he coughs weakly
yeah I did. I say reading it out loud to him
John's eyes widen slightly, listening intently as you read the letter aloud. His breathing quickens ever so slightly.

he tries to shift his position, but fails... destroy it... before anyone else... finds out...
