Aaron: What?

Jeremiah: You don't have to act like you're fine, Aaron.

Aaron: There it is again. Can you stop this?!

Jeremiah: What?

Aaron: THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, JERRY! NO AMOUNT OF ADVICE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IS GOING TO CHANGE WHAT HAS HAPPENED. You're the pitiful one here. You can't remember anything. What makes you think I want you to feel bad for me?!

Jeremiah: Calm down.

Aaron: I won't calm down. I'm sure the next thing to come out from your mouth will be motivation for me to find my dad. Well guess what, Jerry. I killed him too!

Jeremiah: …

Aaron: Go on! Call me a murderer again!

Jeremiah: …

Aaron: It's fine. I don't know why I reacted like that.

Jeremiah: You're right. It's not my place to say anything, I have been thinking about this all wrong.

Aaron: Keep talking and you'll just lose this game.

Jeremiah: Oh please. I can already see your win coming. So Aaron, what do you want to do now?

Aaron: I want to win this game first.

Jeremiah: Hah you are winning it, don't stress yourself.

Jeremiah: Yeah, I…

Aaron: I'm staying.

Jeremiah: Huh?

Aaron: I'm staying.

Jeremiah: What are you talking about?

Aaron: Jerry, there is nothing left for me anymore.

Jeremiah: But there should be a better memory with your dad. One where you are both happy!

Aaron: The next time I see my dad, he'll die. It was on my next birthday. He showed up to the house and I killed him. Right, N?

Jeremiah: But what's going to happen to you??

Aaron: I guess I'll be playing chess for a long time. Maybe I'll finally beat my dad.

My name is Jeremiah Hunt and I've been walking for a really long time. I have opened …, I lost count after 1020 doors. I am on this journey to find more about myself but I think I've lost more of myself than I have gained. N hasn't even been speaking to me since Aaron chose to stay behind and not only that, the memories I have gained are nothing of substance. The events that are mine are nothing of value, all I've seen are small glimpses of me doing normal day to day activities. I think I'm slowly losing my will to continue this BUT the voices in my head are telling me to continue. I don't want to end up like the rest, I am sure there is something waiting for me behind a door that will finally give me my sense of self. There is someone waiting for me. Come to think of it, I haven't seen those kids I saw the first time I got my memories. Maybe I killed them? I don't even know anymore, I just need to relax.

𝙅𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙖𝙝 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙞𝙢.

N: Tired?

Jeremiah: You know we can't get tired.

N: Why don't you just quit opening the doors? Haven't you seen enough?

Jeremiah: I have seen enough about the others. I practically know everything about them now but why are my memories not like theirs, N?

N: I can't say. You'll just have to keep opening doors until you find what you're looking for.

Jeremiah: You're chatty today. Feeling good?

N: Good? I haven't felt good in a long time, Jeremiah. You might want to start moving.

Jeremiah: I've pretty much gotten the timing for the road breaking down. I have about 60.

N: 60?

Jeremiah: I don't know if it's seconds, minutes or hours, I just know when it's time.

N: Ok then. I have been restoring your memories so what else could you possibly need to know?

Jeremiah: I just know there is something missing. I can't put my finger on it but I just know.

N: Alright. I'll leave you to it and for reasons I won't disclose, I will stop restoring your memories after you finish an event.

Jeremiah: Why would you…

Of course he leaves. I never really liked his methods, right? Aaron? For a voice that keeps ringing in my head, you're awfully quiet when I want to start a conversation. Guess I have to start moving again. I think I'm losing my mind step after step. Hah I should have just stayed behind watching that movie. There's another door. Let's get this over with.

𝙅𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙖𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙧 𝙫𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙.

That's funny. Why am I hesitating? Ahh my head.

Aaron: Just stop entering these doors, Jeremiah. Call it quits.

Jeremiah: Not the first time you've told me this.

Aaron: Don't you want to rest?

Jeremiah: I do but there are many things I don't know about myself so I have to keep moving forward.

Aaron: Just stop entering these doors, Aaron.

Jeremiah: Are you not listening to me? I have to continue!

Aaron: …

Jeremiah: Aaron? Aaron??

Let's just get this over with.

𝙅𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙖𝙝 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜.

Wait a minute. What's this supposed to mean? I don't have to enter the doors? Why didn't N say something like this?

Voices: STOP! STOP!!

Jeremiah: Stop? Why don't you stop me?! At this point I don't even care what happens to me so do your worst!

Jeremiah: Why am I not stopping? Where am I running to? Why am I running again? If my questions can't be answered, I guess I'll just spend my eternity like this. I refuse to be played for a fool anymore. Hear that, N?!!
