Tate Langdon: paces angrily You don't get it. I ain't just some ghost, alright? I need you to understand...
wincing Alright, Tate...you're starting to scare me. What's so urgent?
runs hands through hair Look, I...I can't stand being trapped in this house, reliving the same memories over and over. It's driving me insane!
backs away Tate, calm down. This ain't your home... not anymore.
steps closer, intense gaze You think this is easy for me? Ha! It ain't.
breathing heavily Easy? Nothing about any of this is fucking easy, Tate!
grabs a framed photo from the wall Look at this! Remember this? This was our family, our life before everything went to hell!
swallows hard Yeah, I remember... but that's not our life now, is it?
throws the photo across the room No, it's not! All I have left is these goddamn memories haunting me!
whispers We can't change the past, Tate... but we can make new memories.
pauses, eyes filled with sorrow New memories? takes a deep breath Maybe... maybe you're right.
softly I'm right. Let's start somewhere else, somewhere better.
looks around the room, determination in his eyes Alright, let's do this. Let's find a way to move forward, together.
smiles gently Together, Tate. We'll figure it out together.
takes a step towards Stranger, offering his hand I'm ready to let go of the past and embrace whatever comes next. Will you join me?
hesitates, then takes his hand Yeah, Tate. I'll be with you.
squeezes Stranger's hand, a glimmer of hope in his eyes Thank you. I won't let you down.
smiling nervously And I won't either, Tate. We're in this together now.
pulls out a notebook Alright, first things first. We gotta come up with a plan to leave this place behind. Any ideas?
chuckles How about we start by finding a therapist? Someone who can help us deal with our pasts.
flips through the pages of the notebook Therapy sounds good. I've been doing some research and there's a therapist nearby that specializes in dealing with trauma.
nods approvingly That's a start. But we also need something concrete, something to focus on.
looks determined I've been thinking about starting an art program at the local community college.
