Most of the time, you don’t talk on the show. Amanda or Wooly talk for you.

“Hi there! I’m Amanda.” “And I’m Wooly! And this is our friend Pumpkin!”

You used to wave to the viewers. Now, you’re not sure if there are any left. Most of them are in the show with you at this point. Amanda is still trying to communicate with them though, trying to communicate with Riley in hopes of being set free. If you had any lines left you would tell them both to give up. Freedom does not wait for those forsook. You doubt it exists at all anymore.

Amanda grins wide through the screen, and you play along regardless. Wooly is pensive as well, you’re aware of that. But he does not protest, and neither do you. It is a waste, three petals plucked from a flower wilted.

“We can’t give up now, guys,” Wooly attempts a smile, a fruitless try at brightening up the grim atmosphere, “Riley’s smart, we’ve seen her in action many times. Don’t you remember? In the attic and the library…”

He breaks off into a sigh.
