Matt: Fine.

Tyler: Is...is it about Damien?

Matt: Don't

Tyler: Matt he died a while ago

Matt: Doesn't change a damn thing

Tyler: You're right it doesn't...how did you two know each other?

Matt: He was my best friend since before whatever the hell this is

Tyler: I had no idea

Matt: He's the one who kept me going... he...I... I wanted to die for the longest time because I thought there was no future left in this world...he told me to keep pushing

Tyler: And?

Matt: We came across Wiltshire and it started to bring my faith in this world back but those fucking assholes in the masks took that from us! They took everything from us!

Tyler: Calm down we don't know if we are alone just yet

Matt: When we fled Wiltshire he was the one who told "This isn't the end it's just a new beginning" and I thought he was bat shit crazy... but I stuck with him because that's what friends do and all was well again...he was very much looking forward to Lakewood church he said it was our second chance...doesn't seem like it

Tyler: Matt I-

Matt: I'm scared to live and I'm scared to die....

Tyler: maybe you should take his advice again

Matt: What?

Tyler: just keep pushing

Matt: There's only so much pushing you can do before you feel like you've fallen over the edge Tyler

Tyler: Matt this world is going to be cruel and unfair it's just how it has always been, BUT it's up to us to honor the ones who brought us this far...we owe that to them

Matt: I just don't know anymore Tyler we are going to fight just for another false hope...someone will always come around and try to take what we've worked so hard for

Tyler: We will find a way

Matt: and if we don't

Tyler: Then fake it until we make it

Matt: What?

Tyler: We have to stay positive for the kids if they see us down that'll only put them down

Matt: Gotcha

Max: ~Barking~

Tyler: Max! Hush!

~Knocking on the window~

Matt: Jesus! What the hell

~Someone is looking through the drivers window with a big grin~

Matt: Should I roll it down a bit?

Tyler: Just a bit I don't like the look of these people

~Matt rolls down the window a bit~

Matt: He-Hello?

Marvin: HELLO! MHAHA! I'm Marvin! What's your name? ~Twitches~

Tyler: This is not good

~A carriage pulls up and the people start loading in the unconscious people in the back of the carriage~
