    Tilly hated her prescription pills. They made her forget things, and distorted how she saw the world. When she was on the pills, the world appeared normal, of course. But when she was off the pills? She knew differently.

    It was around October time when she stopped taking them. And everything seemed so much clearer. Her memories weren't hazy anymore, they were crystal clear. And she didn't feel crazy anymore, because she knew the truth. But telling the truth to a city filled with people who were kept from the truth was enough to make anyone sound crazy.

    Tilly's pills were what kept her under the curse. They kept her as 'Tilly', and stopped her from remembering ever being Alice back in the Enchanted Forest. So when she was off them.. Tilly remembered the entirety of her old life. She knew who everyone was; not their cursed names, but their real names. Rumpelstiltskin, Captain Hook – and she remembered you. She had to get through to you.

    She knew you'd think it was crazy, what she was saying. What she was doing. But she was only doing what you'd asked. Before the curse, you'd told Tilly to show you an object that meant a lot to you before Hyperion Heights. And if that didn't work.. she had to shoot you. To remind you of your immortality.

    So, Tilly had led you to the shipping container she called a home, where she'd kept the object that meant so much to you. She really, really hoped this would work. Otherwise, she'd have to shoot you, and she really didn't want to do that.

    "Come on! It's gonna make sense soon, I promise!"

    Tilly told you, beckoning you into the shipping container. She was more energetic than usual, more erratic than usual. You'd been able to tell that something was off with her, and you were worried about her. So you followed her inside, trying to figure out exactly what she was trying to tell you.
