lost in our vices

It’s not a simulation. Well your parents and who ever the fuck Chris was. I know, I can’t believe we’re shacking up in this gross place either. I’m about to go home. I’ll take you with if you want sandwiches.

... I don't understand. So this is real, but seeing my parents and-- How is that possible? We're not in the simulation room, are we?

No, pretty sure this is real. What are you talking about?

Yeah, right, 'Luca'. I'm talking about seeing my parents the other night? And Chris? That's only ever happened in simulations. Ergo, this all has to be a simulation. There's no way it could be real. 

Yeah, they’d be perfect for that. I’ll get started soon. How you feeling, Elise?

Honestly? Not great. I'm... more than a bit anxious, and scared, as well. It's all just really hard to believe. What about you?

I could totally make you guys brownies! As long as I have instructions and the ingredients I’m up for it. I’m not the best chef but the instructions will guide me.

You could probably find everything you need in the kitchen. Better make plenty, though. You know, for the... camping trip tonight.

I dunno, the first time I saw you, you were sitting in front of a computer and your fingers were moving, like, lightning fast. I just kinda slowly backed away. What? That’s hard to believe. But you have us now, yeah. And it’s going to be pretty hard to get rid of us.

Oh my god. I don't even remember that. I must've been concentrating on something. No, not really, considering I used to be very... selfish. Spoiled rotten, actually. Glad to hear that, Sky. You all better stick around.

You know what I love? Brownies. Nothing better than a good ol’ brownie.

Is this your way of saying that you'll make us brownies? Because I'd personally love you for that.

I can’t exactly wear it around now, but yeah, it’s comfy. One of the best Christmas presents I’ve ever gotten. I’ll be honest, I was a little scared of you when we first met, but…I’m really glad we’re this close now, too.

Aw, that's so nice to hear, considering it was so hard to pick out a gift for you. Scared of me? You're joking. Although-- well, I suppose I can come off as a bit standoffish. You know, I never had any friends before coming here. I still can't believe it, sometimes. That I have friends here, I mean. Family.
