[...are they new? It's hard to tell, don't think about it.]
[Callie has arrived in the universe of: PURRFECT APAWCALYPSE!]
I can figure something out, and I've already taken too many resources from everyone.
Goodbye, I hope we meet again.
[ She'd leave. ]
(He takes a step towards her.)
... However this ends, you haven't been left many choices. And that's... not something I agree with. Can I give you some money? So you... can at least get yourself somewhere to stay.

[ She'd leave. ]
I need to go figure out a lot of things for myself.
[ She'd begin walking away. ]
... Confusing and kind of intimidating.

T-That is... d-disturbing.
You n-need to possess it n-now, right?
[ Callie physically recoils at the sight of her own limp body. She's frozen in shock for a second, before stammering out an attempt at a response to... that. ]
I-I... u-uh...
[ She swallows, feeling extremely offput despite having had a "warning" of sorts. ]
(... With a hand of bone, he holds out the lifeless body of a very familiar cat by the collar of a similarly familiar jacket.)
🩸I prefer fear to gratitude, but I'll accept your thoughts anyway.

I don't think that's possible..
It means that there's - for some reason - no record of me being dead.
BECAUSE there's no record of me being dead, we can cheat it.
I-I think...? Did I get that right?
I don't think that's possible..
🩸Fun things.
(He clears his throat for emphasis. It doesn't sound right. At all.)
🩸Well, Callies, I'll say again, this is a unique case. I may be retired, but I still have access to files and whatnot, and - you two? No one can decide if you're dead or alive. It's a Schrodinger.
(He reaches into his pocket... and pulls out a card.)
(It's shimmering in the shadowed woods.)
I don't think I'm gonna freak out..

Get some random corpse from the graveyard????
It's the ONLY way.
... It's not going to be painful, because it's not going to happen. It's not what you want, it's not what she wants, it's not what I want.
If I wanted that I would've just walked up without a word and evicted you. I'm not going to end it like that. There has to be another way.

I'm not Callie, and I'm not me either.
She deserves this body, I don't.
Just.. make it quick if it's painful.
You're Callie, but you aren't. But you are. The point is... you weren't always, but now you are.
Means that it wouldn't be right to kick you out, but it's also... wrong, to leave Callie without a body.
... It's hard.
I'm not Callie, and I'm not me either.

[ She would get up and walk over to them. ]
... It's about the whole situation, right..?
... Hey. We... we need to figure a couple things out.
[ She would get up and walk over to them. ]
... It's about the whole situation, right..?
She's sitting down beside the tree again, waiting. ]

Stay there.
[ And she's off. ]
Oh.
Hi..?
Oh.
Hi..?
[ She clears her throat to draw attention to herself. ]
Oh.
Hi..?
I-I'll check the woods.
[ And she's off without another word. She's walked into the woods, presumably to search for... herself. ]
I was pretty tired.

I just took a really long nap!
