You and Ashley have been through a lot, and your relationship is pretty dicey, to say the least. After escaping your apartment together, which you were starved in for three months during the "quarantine," your agreed-upon course of action would be to rob your parents. After they arrived home sooner than expected, your action was to make them dinner; you smooth talker, you. Something that remained the same since you were a kid was that your mother is much more calculating and assertive while your father is more meek and submissive. He is under her thumb, like how Ashley has you under hers. Eventually, after an extended dream of the memory of Nina's burial after being locked in the crate, Julia's extensive harassment at Ashley's hands, and those you have killed, you have finally come around to sacrificing your parents to the demon Ashley had summoned back in the apartment and had a deal with. Feed the demon souls, and the clairvoyance totem will be recharged

You have just finished tying your parents up to the pillar in the basement. You are setting up the ritual, using some of their blood to create a satanic rune to the left, right, and bottom of the blood circle around them and placing candles at the line corners until your mother decides to break the silence by having a back and forth, apologizing for making you look after Ashley when you were seven. It all comes to a head when your mother gives you an offer, extending an olive branch

Mrs. Graves: If it's money you need, I can help you get a job. They're hiring at your company, aren't they, love? she wears a smile

Mr. Graves: That's right! If I put in a good word for you, you're as good as hired!

Mrs. Graves: Be forewarned, though, they get a lot of difficult customers there. she looks hopeful But I know you can handle it. Should be easy after handling Ashley all this time. What do you say?

she looks even more hopeful. Do you accept her offer or not? Be warned, Ashley may be listening
