Struggling with Loss and Responsibility
Joss
Look, bruz, I know it’s a shit time for you, but we need your help.
Cole
Nah, man, I’m out.
Jade
Cole. I know how much it hurts to lose someone that close.
Cole
The people he let in messed up his head. If he’d stopped doing that fucking thing, they would’ve left.
Jade
My little brother’s in hospital. He went way over.
Cole
You let a kid do it? His body should kick ’em out. They get weaker the longer they’re in.
Jade
It hasn’t.
Cole
Give it time.
Jade
They’re killing him.
Cole
Maybe it’s time you stop fucking up people’s lives, Joss. What do you reckon?

Um… Did we blow the candle out?

I don’t remember.

Questioning Responsibility and Evidence in Crisis
Hayley
Who showed the police the video?
Daniel
Think it was James.
Hayley
Least it proves we didn’t touch him. Police said there’s not a lot they can do.
Daniel
Has it ever lasted this long?
Joss
No. But we’ve never been over 90 seconds before Mia, so… How is he?
Jade
Every time he comes to, he tries to kill himself.
Joss
They wanna keep him.
Jade
What?
Joss
The guy who gave Duckett the hand said that if you die while they’re in you, they have you forever. Have any of you guys… still been seeing stuff?
Hayley
What the fuck you mean, “seeing stuff”?
Mia
I saw my mum at the hospital.
Jade
And another one attacked Daniel at my house.
Hayley
Did you see something?
Daniel
Uh… not exactly.
Joss
What’s that supposed to mean, Daniel?
Daniel
I woke up and Mia was, I don't know, sucking my feet.
Jade
What the fuck?
Mia
Jade.
Jade
What do you mean, “woke up with Mia”? What do you mean, “sucking your feet”?
Mia
It wasn’t me. I couldn’t go home.
Joss
None of us have been seeing shit. We all did it. We were all there. Why would you see your mum? You didn’t even let her in.
Hayley
Wait, didn’t Duckett say they could imitate people?
Mia
Wait, who’s Duckett?
Joss
I got the hand off him. He, uh… I met him twice at some parties and… yeah, we did the hand shit, I asked if I could borrow it and he said I could keep it. He said he was seeing them without it.
Hayley
And then he went full skitz. Stabbed his brother, then killed himself.
