ㅤㅤ----------------------------------------------------------------- ㅤ J: "...Was that... good enough?" [Jon glanced up at Tim, who looked confused] "That just adds to my worry.. and.. are you... caught in a groundhog day time loop?" J: "...In a way...yes, you could say that.." [A sigh is heard from Tim] "So... that's your big secret... do you... retain your memories of every single one?" [Tim tried to look at where ?? was, yet he was staring at the wall] "Does he?" [He's looking the wrong way... again.] *Yes.... he's shown me some of the more... ... recent ones..* "And those were..?" [Silence...] "Bad?" *mhm...* "Is every single time different?" [Silence for a few moments.] *I think its probably for the best if we don't talk about this...* "..right.." *... d'you wanna go get Sasha now, or...?* "Yeah." [The chair scrapes the floor and the door closes afterwards, though Jon does cough a bunch.. with him grabbing the desk for support as he rests against it, he accidentally shuts off the recorder.] [It does get clicked back on. Sasha's voice can faintly be heard outside the Archives, getting closer.] S: "Now what makes you think that, Tim? Like you said earlier... he's a bit.. eh." "I know, Sash... but just hear him out.." [She sighs.] S: "Fine..." [Silence from ??.. The door is opened and Jon stands up, using the desk as support] S: "... Jon, why is the aircon turned this low??" J: "It's not..." [He goes over to the aircon and turns it up by a degree.] [Sasha shivers.] S: "Thats... .. better. Now, what the hell were you goin' on about, Tim?" "He's... not exactly OK.. but he has a reason.." S: "..." *... ...* "Sash? You good?" [Tim waved his hand in front of her face] S: "Yes, I- OW!" "Sorry.." [Tim put his hands back in his jorts pockets] "Didn't mean to do that.." S: "You're fine... anyways.." [She pauses, not knowing what to say next.] "So.. since I can hear Jon's weird ghost friend but can't see him... does that mean you can see him but can't hear him?" S: ".... huh?" [There's a pause as she looks around.] "Is that a no, then?" S: "nope!" "Damn.." [??'s still silent... he hasn't said anything since Sasha came in. Jon is also silent, unsure how to break the news.] S: "...Jon? ....hello? What the [bleeep] is going on?!" "Language, Sash." [Tim nudges her arm with his elbow] J: "..I.. just don't know how to explain it.." S: "..." [She pauses, trying to process the information.] J: "It's kind of like Groundhog Day, but every death is somehow worse.." [Jon says] S: "wh... oh.." [She looks stunned for a few moments.] J: "Mhm... i... have a lot of injuries from every loop." [Jon rolls up his vest sleeves and shows off the vivisection stitches.] "These ones go.. over my whole body.. like an outline." [Silence... He puts his sleeves back down.] J: "...Too much?" S:"...y-y-yeah.." [She nods, looking down.] J: "..." [He slumps against the desk] "And to add... Tim already knows Garce is bound to me... yet.. something else is bound with us..." [He turns to Garce, giving him a nod] *.... you sure?* [Sasha looks at Jon, confused.] S: "...??" J: "I'm sure.." [He goes quiet, slowly breathing to adjust himself for the possession] S: "... Jon?" [Sasha's visibly worried as she gets a bit closer.]
