i'm the Director... Two !

(The Director attacks.)

NO!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE LOVED!!! DISGUSTING! LIKE YOU DESERVE A HEART?!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! DON'T YOU REALIZE THE DAMAGE YOU'RE DOING?!!

I hate you! All you ever do is take and take and take!!!!!!

They don't LOVE YOU! You can't keep forcing them to care about you! Your gifts are shallow bribes, you can't keep fooling them anymore!

(It stares at you.)

You should've found a new shovel while you still could've.

(You stomach drops.)

Maybe should've just used your hands.

(The Director screams.)

PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!!!!

(You can only watch as he stabs it over and over and over.)

(Until nothing is left.)

You're sick… You do all these terrible… awful… wretched things and yet you… still demand to be loved?

Sigh...

(You grab the bastard by their shirt collar.)

Let me get this one thing clear, you do not get to talk to Siffrin like that. Speak to him like that again, and you will regret ever being written.

...

.......You don't need to do this. He didn't mean it.

He most clearly did. Don't you dare forgive him, Siffrin.

He'll forgive me.

(H u h?)

Because that's what I want from him. I'll pull his strings until I get what I'm owed.

What are you... talking about?

(You're lost.)

(This isn't a part of the murder mystery.) (The game doesn't cover this.)

I'll speak unsupervised. I define the will of all.

(Ghk-!) (Something just broke-?!)

(Wait.) (That puppet.)

BLINDING STARS, I'm TRYING.

Do you want to me to like, blinding place you in a pot of boiling oil? Do you want me to torture you?

I'm a copy of you, aren't I? That means I must have your powers, and I'll be writing my own life from now on.

AUGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE JUST MAKING THINGS UP!!!!

(…Okay you figured it out.) (It seems obvious in hindsight.)

It was "neck-snapping," wasn't it?

CONGRATS! That's it! Good job, Tragedy!

(Yippie.)

I got it. Here's the finished sudoku.

CONGRATS! That's it! Good job, Prologue!

Yippie...

And since you got #7 wrong, it's time for punishment!

(Wait, wha-)

Wha-! I have a blinding lit BOMB in my hands?! Is that not exciting enough?!!

Dusk… I'm so sorry… you shouldn't have had that happen to you.

I'm… I'm okay, dawn. It didn't hurt.

Oh my, genuine love between actors!!! Weird! Gross! Someone call HR!

A

Noo…. don't make our love to be a star crossed tragedy…

(What?) (Oh yeah, they're Cursed.)

(You look up at your tormenter.) (The Director.)

…What was that sound you just made??? Stars, you're weird.

Okay, so we're not going to talk about… "that," right?

Talk about what?

That you're the original-

Hey! Don't trick me.

Hehehe! I don't know what you're talking about~!

Ok, we're not talking about it, but… why are you doing all of this? Can you admit that much at least?

You… really don't understand what's happening, do you?

I might be stupid but… I guess that makes you dumb too? Yes, I don't know why. That's why I'm asking, idiot…

(Good to see dusk hasn't changed.)

Aw, #50! You're so cute and annoying. I just want to crush you!

H-hey! Don't you dare!

I'll show you what this is all about. It's this.

I… what are you talking about?

Don't get too cocky, you're no #43. Now THAT actor could bring the water works!

Haha… that's one skillset you understudies have that I don't. It's a powerful tool, isn't it?

(They have no grip on reality.) (They're insane.)

This isn't a theater play, it's real. You MURDERED an actual PERSON!!!

The world's a stage, Tragedy! And besides, aren't you being a little dramatic?

(YOU'RE DRAMATIC?! YOU?!?!?)

[Careful, dawn.]

The Prequel dies all the time! Who cares?

I care! It matters, he's dead! You can't just kill someone and pretend it never happened, loops or not!

…

Hah, no, it really doesn't. See?

Agh!

Oooh, my neck feels twisted in ways it shouldn't.

(DUSK?!)
