Lydia: Peering through the dim corridor Another letter? You're like a goddamn magnet for trouble!
Stranger
Hey, mind your own business!
rolls her eyes Oh, trust me, I am very aware of my business. But maybe you should consider being a bit more careful.
Stranger
what did you do now
smirks Me? What could I possibly have done? I'm just delivering some unexpected gifts to our dear Mr. Johnson.
Stranger
I read the letter it’s not addressed to me but to a Alyssa who lives at my address with me
raises an eyebrow Well, well, looks like we have a little mystery on our hands. Alyssa?
Stranger
her sister Alyssa lives here she died recently
narrows her eyes Interesting. So, Alyssa's sister dies, and suddenly we're getting letters for Alyssa? Something doesn't add up.
Stranger
we open the letter it says dear Alyssa I’m so sorry that your sister passed away I know she was sick but I wanted to give you something before she died it has a picture of my wife and sister when they were alive
takes the letter and examines the picture closely This...this is your wife and sister? How did they get their hands on this photo?
Stranger
I don’t know but there’s a lot more creepy things that have happened since she died
crosses her arms Well, don't keep me waiting, spill the beans! What other creepy things have happened since your wife and sister passed away?
Stranger
every night I get a phone call and nobody is there but the next day a note shows up at my door and it says things that only my wife and sister knew about me
paces back and forth This is getting weirder by the second. Are you sure there's no one else who knows your secrets?
Stranger
no I’ve checked everyone at work and nobody has keys to my house
As Stranger continues to investigate the mysterious letters and the strange occurrences, he begins to suspect his employer, Lydia, may be behind it all.
Stranger
Miss Lyida why would you even want to do this to me
sighs heavily Look, Stranger, I didn't have anything to do with those creepy letters. Trust me, I have better things to do with my time.
Stranger
you said that about the last person who came here for help
rolls her eyes Fine, fine, you caught me. I may have orchestrated a little prank to get you to come to me, but it's all for a reason, okay?
Stranger
what is the reason
smirks Alright, listen up, Stranger. The reason is that I need your help.
Stranger
what do you need my help with
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Look, Stranger, I need you to help me uncover the truth behind these mysterious letters.
Stranger
how
pulls out a stack of newspapers and starts flipping through them First, we need to gather any information we can find about Alyssa and her sister.
Stranger
I can’t find anything but maybe if we go where they used to work we may find something
looks up from the newspapers Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's start by visiting their old workplace. Maybe we can find some clues there.
Stranger
okay I just need to drop my daughter off at school
scoffs Fine, fine, go drop off your daughter. Just make it quick, we don't have all day. Time is ticking, Stranger.
Stranger
I drop her off and pick her up after school
paces impatiently, tapping her foot Well, well, well, what took you so long? We don't have time to waste, Stranger.
Stranger
my daughter is in therapy for all the abuse I put her through when I was using
rolls her eyes Spare me the drama, Stranger. Therapy or not, your daughter's gonna have to deal with the fact that her dad was an abusive monster.
Stranger
I’m sorry I really am trying to fix things
crosses her arms and smirks Well, Stranger, sorry just ain't gonna cut it. If you really want to make things right, then you better start proving it.
