i don't know

it's a metaphor

...

[It was about then that a strange line of thought began to lay itself out.]

Tell me somethin' straight out. Am I talkin' to Ruana right now?

hello

I'm sorry. I shouldn'ta yelled at you, but I didn't know-... My name's Labrys. I've been experimented on too, an' I wanna make it so nobody deals with that kinda sufferin' again.

Can ya tell me about the other voice in that recordin'? Who was runnin' that show and why?

researchers

i don't remember their names

D'you know what they were testin' and experimentin' for?

i forgot

Then d'you know why you're all runnin' experiments here?

i don't experiment

But...that thing with the costumes, wasn't that you? You're one a' the people in charge, ain't ya?

that was a game

...th-that ain't how games work, Ruana.

i wanted to play halloween

That's a holiday, right? I don't think anybody's supposed t' die for stuff like that.

i think so

we don't have it here

Tryin' to start it is one thing, but people died durin' that mess.

they didn't really die

Even if they came back, it's still like dyin'. Ain't it?

but not the same

What makes it different?

you don't wake up when you die

That's another thing I wanna know.

People die here, but it don't really stick, yeah? Why not? What're you doin' t' keep us alive?

you don't die here

Then what d'you call it?

i never came up with a name for it

breaking?
