She had been thinking more about the midwest. Thought about their decades lived inΒ Indiana...

keith vows never to return
as reply to The Routine
One day the light came on unexpectedly.
A high pitch squaked out of the speakers and then disappeared just as quick as it came on.
There was a cough.
"Mm. We're going to open the door. Someone will come in. They will shut the door behind them."
Keith still had his eyes mostly closed.
"Do...

do you want to come back with me?
as reply to Is that You?
"What are you doing here?"
Jack didn't know the answer himself.
"Nevermind, you know that everybody has been crazy worried about you?"
He never did consider this part when running away. He was too filled with his own emotions. Confronted with the question he felt childish.
"Sorry. It's nice to see you."
Professionally speaking, It...

as reply to Hours
She kept disappearing. Longer and longer. One day she didn't return until Jack had gone to bed.
Going to bed alone was a strange feeling. He didn't mind spending the day alone. It was when it came time to wash up for bed, that an eerie feeling of loneliness struck him.

Doug #+1? - the incompetent detective as reply to Doug #? - What could it mean
The detective coughed. Charlie's mother didn't know what to say. Waited for him to continue. But he looked at her blankly before coughing again. The coughs were so theatrical that it was obvious that he didn't have a irritated throat.
Finally the detective spoke, "could you... Look it's been a long...

It continues like this. But things slowly change over time.
After a few weeks of theΒ cortado s they start giving him beer in the evenings. And he knows it's evening because they're letting him go outside for a walk. He gets to see the sun and breathe fresh air.

Few months passed. Dave did some jobs. He and BAKA saw some messed up shit. Shit that Dave found messed up, but not BAKA. It was all normal to him.
"Just brush it off, fam." or "Just a another day, bruv."
For a few weeks BAKA strung Dave along. Many long nights...

When the robotic voice stopped speaking a warm voice came on. This second voice was too warm and cheery. It was obviously AI generated or pre-recorded.
