You must be so afraid. I'm sorry you won't be here to see what comes next. It's always my favorite part. It's the part I wish could last forever. Would you like to know why? This is when they tear themselves apart.

There is something old here, something... ancient. And it's feeding off our suffering and it doesn't stop. Even after we die, we are still trapped here. And we never get to leave.

The world was so fucking scary, but if I could believe in magical things, then that was something no one could ever take away. Look, we have seen so much darkness. We've lived with so much fear. I need to believe in magical things.

You see... when they go into those tunnels tomorrow, that's not gonna work out very well. They have the right idea, of course, but this place... it's built on ritual, and with rituals, how you do something is just as important as what you do.

That message on the wall: "Knowledge comes at a cost." It's possible that Jim died because of what Tabitha and Jade remembered. Look, that message was meant to scare us. But I think the message tells us something else. That we are close. For the first time, we are close to figuring this place out. When your enemy threatens you, right, tries to scare you, that means they are scared of you.
