I was down here just yesterday, and there wasn’t – MELANIE You know who I need? I need the Boneturner.

#DOOR CREAKS HOW TO#

I mean, you’d think I’d have a better idea how to do it.Īll these… all these statements and… I… don’t think that would be a good idea right now. I-I figured the strongest anchor would be… part of my own body. Something I have a connection to, th-that I can use to find my way out of the Coffin when I reach Daisy. Oh! I… I um… I nee-need a… I’ve been thinking of it a-as an anchor. So, why are you trying to chop off your finger? ARCHIVIST It didn’t stay in my leg because of some ghostly master plan. And then one day, I suddenly have this thing that takes all that rage, and it holds it, tells me it’s right, that it’s me. Right up until it slips out and hurts someone. But everything I’ve done, everything I pushed for was because I was angry.Īngry at being passed over, being disrespected, ignored. Anger is… Anger’s been all I’ve had for a very long time. Yes, the bullet was bad, right, but it didn’t make me angry. Oh just stop! Just stop and listen! ARCHIVIST Maybe… maybe It’s enough to start healing? Start letting go of the anger. It doesn’t feel like it, but as far as Basira sees it… I’m not ‘compromised’ anymore. Crying, shaking, nightmares… that is better. Basira deals in ‘intel’ these days, in usable data, assets. It’s – It’s… it’s just different! Yes, it’s sort of, ‘better’, maybe, but… but I can’t – ARCHIVIST (BACKGROUND)ĭon’t tell me to calm down! Don’t you dare! ARCHIVIST I’m not dying, and I don’t want to kill you.

So… ARCHIVISTīasira said you were doing better. But what else am I going to do? I don’t want to be on my own, and I’m stuck here. I can’t look at her without my leg hurting. She’s been the only one for a long time and, yes, I, sort of, maybe, hate her now. Who else is there? I mean, Basira is… heh. Yeah, I-I’m… I’m surprised you can stand to see either of us. The only way to do it was to completely betray my trust, and destroy any remaining sense of safety. I’d have said no, and I’d probably have hurt you. ARCHIVISTĪnd if you had, we wouldn’t be talking right now. Chalk it up as a win for Team Archive, I guess. But I also, y’know, see your face now, when I wake up screaming. I’m… Would you believe I’m… trying to save Daisy? MELANIE Melanie, I-I’m… S-Sorry, I didn’t, er… I didn’t know you were there. Oh, come on… Everyone else can carve up the Archivist, but when he actually needs it… MELANIE
