Not because of nightmares, but I don't even know if any of this is real.

Maybe I'm starting to lose my mind. Chat, why is this game so creepy, man? Why?

I used to think that after everything I would get used to the feeling of loss But what came was not peace only a deeper emptiness Now I'm not even sure Am I really alive or just passing through the same days again and again Ryan you're Ryan I don't want to go back home. My eye itched and I got pink eye again. I don't want to go back to this house.

This house is cursed.

Chad.

Go ahead and start complaining again, Ryan. Yeah, here we go. You over here crying and constantly boo-hoo. Everybody's got problems, Ryan. You don't have to sit here and constantly complain to us. We're tired of it.

He over here constantly crying. All the time, crying. Crying, crying, crying. Sniveling, crying and complaining. Every step feels the same. The same emptiness, the same pointlessness. No one's waiting at the end of this road.

They say life has to go on, but where to? What's he talking about? Ryan, you have to come tomorrow.

How much longer are you going to keep avoiding me?

He's saying all of this when Sarah has texted him twice wanting to hang out. He's talking about he's alone and loneliness when he's ignoring Sarah. It's been a long time since I came back maybe now's the time before everything. Yes! You shouldn't have ignored her the other day! You over here crying and you got somebody in your life trying to hang out with you just ignoring them.

What's going on?

What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? Why did Michael just run me over

bro what he was so friendly to me earlier There's no way we're out running a car

Ah I went the wrong way! No!

I went the wrong way, I should have went left. He doesn't know how to shift out of first gear. What is he doing?

She's a runner, she's a track star.

She don't run away when it gets hard. She can innovate, she can get scarred. Michael, why are you doing this? Who is that?

Oh lord help me! Cinema, R.I.P. Michael. Was that a dream? Maybe we fell asleep in the break room at work and that was a dream? Maybe? I'm going to go get my stuff. We have never seen this model of me in this game. Brand new hoodie, brand new look. Dude, when I first seen him walking, I'm like, yo, that is a massive person.

And then it's just me. Hey, WDevs though. Hey. Yo. Yeah anything else? What did I buy? That's all.

Alright, that'll be $3.25. Thanks. What did I buy? A sandwich like this has helped me more, helped me through more than a few long nights.

Whoa.

Did you know the average person eats about 30,000 sandwiches in their lifetime? Why am I in here dropping food facts to this guy? Yo, since with the five, thank you. I didn't know maybe or maybe i'm the one raising the average Okay, I'll head back to Waffle House. Have a good night. Bye! WDevs man, that's funny. They even knew about the Waffle House. 5 o'clock, time to go. I promise Sarah, Maybe I'll tell the manager I'm heading home early.

Well, I hope she doesn't ask too many questions. What are we gonna do, call the manager? Yo, Ryan, you need a cigarette or something. You need to cheer up, buddy.

What happened? Why am I standing in the spot that Michael usually was standing in?

This evening breeze feels calm. Leaves falling gently as if the world is giving me a pause. I want to believe that maybe I can make peace with it all. Those wounds that lost, they'll never truly disappear. But maybe I can learn to run. Sound of thunder. Sound of rain.

Sound of thunder. Sound of rain. Sound of thunder. Sound of rain. Sound of thunder. Sound of rain.

Sound of thunder. Maybe I don't have to keep running or fighting. Maybe all I need to do is sit, breathe, and let time teach me how to accept. Quote of the day. What's happening? No! I need to get home Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to our house I don't remember.

She wouldn't do do that Ryan don't deserve Sarah just saying

Oh, that's a dog! Okay, we're good. Where's the janitor?

Garcik City July 12 2009 a fatal accident occurred and on Limbaugh Serrini Street

The car carrying the Santos a family crashed into a tree and exploded

Killing Jeffrey Santos, uh his wife list Ari Wulandari at 42 their son Michael Ryan Santos a at 42. Their son Michael Ryan Santos survived but suffered a leg fracture after being trapped. Did we cause this accident? Did we cause this accident?

Yo, Ash with the 10, W, Ash with the 10. Thank you, Ash. At the time, the family had just returned from a school basketball championship won by Ryan. The vehicle is suspected to have lost control on a slippery. Wait, we're the famous basketball player. The vehicle is suspected to have lost control on a slippery curve after rain. Moments after the collision, a loud explosion was heard by flames and flames engulfed the car.

Ryan was rescued by local residents shortly before the fire intensified. This tragedy left a deep scar on the people of Garset, especially those, especially within the sports community where Ryan belong.

What?

That's tough. So this is it, huh? Michael Ryan. No more running on the court, no more games, no more tournaments. They said my bones are too fragile now, one wrong step and everything could break again. Basketball was the only thing left from them and from me. So were Michael. Maybe they're right. Maybe it really is time to let go. Post-traumatic stress medication, emotional dependence. Funny how my whole life can be summed up in just a few lines.

They say I pulled away, avoided people that I could not talk about loss. They're not wrong. But reading this, it feels like I'm reading about someone else. And yet, every word is still familiar. I'm not about someone else. And yet every word is still familiar. So our name is Michael is. Look at the window.

I used to spend all my time here. They're

playing, laughing, winning. That court felt like a second home. All my hopes and dreams once lived behind that three point line. But you were not that good. I promise you were a scrub. You were playing against the middle aged man just got off work trying to stay in shape and you're acting like you were him. Buddy, you were the you were the local like home court streetball hero. You were not no Steph Curry. This dude sit here talking about like he was him or

something, bro. I mean, like seriously stop.

Ha ha ha. Dude, he's bragging!

Ha ha ha. Man, chat, I'm joking, bro. It's still annoying though. He's flexing. Now just looking at it, my chest feels heavy. That's tough.

So this is us.

So you're me. You shaped me, gave me the face of someone you once adored. So it feels real to you.

I hate you.

Oh.

Okay.

Because you have everything that once belonged to me. A family, laughter, a whole home. While I was left only with the ruins. All this time. I was just waiting for you to realize that we have to face this together.

I lost everything. You're not truly alone Ryan. I have always been there

waiting for you to come and dare to let go. I'm tired of living in this room. It's time to step out. Don't worry, you just move on. Lock it, but don't throw away the key. Sometimes you can stop by just to remember not to stay. They dead.

Dad, if you were still here, would you be proud of me now? Somebody's putting quotes? No, son Hey you roll for that you're canceled buddy. Hey, you are cancelled! Dude said no, son. I've always been proud of you, son. I don't play basketball anymore. I haven't won anything. If only you and

mom hadn't come to my basketball championship back then, maybe you would both still be here. It's not your fault, son. We came because we wanted to because we were proud W parents not gonna lie. And if we had the chance again, we would still come. Why did it have to be you and not me? Because you still have your story to write.

But I'm tired, being tired is normal. But don't let it take away who you are. You're stronger than you think. And with every step you take, we're never really gone. W, Dad. Mom, I miss you, Mom.

Every day, every night. The house is empty, I'm empty. Why'd you have to go so soon? Because they went to your basketball game, it was your fault. That's a joke.

I can't believe y'all said that that's so why did y'all say that? Mom I never truly left Ryan I'm always here in your heart At every step you take but that's not enough Why can't you be here in your heart. At every step you take, but that's not enough. Why can't you be here in person, sitting with me? I want to, son, more than anything, but fate had other plans. Can I come with you? Not yet. I can't hold on anymore. I'm tired. The world still needs you

There's still something you have to face There's still, yo check, all of y'all are getting cancelled, I'm not gonna lie All of y'all, won't y'all have some respect? Y'all got the nerve to make jokes right now This dude's parents died in a car crash Y'all got the nerve to make jokes right now.

This dude's parents died in a car crash.

There's something you have to face. There's still light at the end of your darkness. I just want to go with you. Cry if you have to, but don't give up. Because every wound you carry is proof that you're loved deeply. Please don't leave me.

I never left you, son. Find your strength. Because one day we'll meet again in peace, not in sorrow.

Is that it?

That is sad though, not going to lie, that's sad. I see why Ryan's been sad the whole game and you know what? I would like to apologize to Ryan now because you know what? I see why he was so sad and I'd like to apologize I understand
