"I've been seeing myself in the House.

Loop (oh my1) Yourself...? Like how?

(You tell Loop about how you saw yourself walking around the House a few times.)

Loop (hm1) ...An image of yourself, walking around the House...

Loop (lol4) Maybe they're... Reflections? Remnants of your past loops? I wouldn't know.

("Remnants"?)

(Odile uses the same word to describe the Sadnesses...)

Siffrin (hide1) "Could it be a Sadness?"

Loop (lol5) Ha! You see a copy of you walking around, and you assume it's a Sadness?

Loop (happy1) Are you sad, stardust?

Loop (hm1) I'm gonna go ahead and say they're linked to your loops.

Loop (teehee1) If they are, you might see them more and more as you loop through time...

(...)

The group enters the hallway and spot another Siffrin walking north.

Isabeau (oh1) Ah!

Bonnie (no!2) Look! Here!!!

Mirabelle (awawa1) That's... That really looks like Siffrin, doesn't it?!

Odile (dotdotdot1) Another one, huh...?

("Another one"?!?)

(You've been seeing these... Ghosts, whatever they are, for a while, but...)

(They could see them too? This whole time?!)

Siffrin (surprised2) "You can see them too?!"

Mirabelle (awawa1) Yes??? Of course???

Bonnie (no!1) Yeah! Weird Frin copies!

Odile (dotdotdot2) This whole time I was thinking it was just my eyes... Or my mind, playing tricks on me... But...

Isabeau (wonder2) Hm...

Isabeau (hahaha1) Well, I'll go and say hi!

(!!!)

Bonnie (stop!2) Me too... I wanna see the weird not-Frin!

(No, they can't!!!)

(You get chills just looking at it!)

(You don't know what they are, maybe they're dangerous--)

Mirabelle (happy1) Me three! I'm curious!

Everbody except Siffrin walks toward the ghost, blocking its path to see its face. Only Siffrin is facing its back.

(You try to stop them, any of them, but...)

(You will not, cannot, go closer.)

Isabeau Hey Sif, buddy!

Mirabelle Hello, other Siffrin!

Bonnie Why are you here, weird Frin? Why do you disappear sometimes???

Odile One question at a time, kids. We don't know if they can...

Odile See...

Isabeau ...

Mirabelle ...

Bonnie ...

(...The ghost you disappeared...)

Mirabelle (no!1) ......

Isabeau (huh2) ......

Odile (dotdotdot1) ......

Bonnie (surprised1) ......

Bonnie (serious1) That was weird.

Siffrin (surprised2) "What? What happened?"

Mirabelle (no!2) ...

Isabeau (sad3) ...

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

(What happened? Why aren't they looking at you?!)

Siffrin (awkward1) (What did it do?!) "Did it have boils on it… or something? Haha..."

Mirabelle (no!2) ...

Mirabelle (no!2) N-no, they just...

Mirabelle (sad3) Ah--!

(Mirabelle started crying!!!)

Siffrin (surprised2) "What's wrong!!!"

Bonnie (no!2) Belle!!!

Mirabelle (sad3) S-Sorry! I-I don't know why I'm crying...

Isabeau (sad2) Hey, come on, it's okay...

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

Odile (dotdotdot1) Siffrin.

(You jump.)

Odile (worried2) You... You'd tell us if anything was wrong, right?

Siffrin (what1) "Of course!"

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

Siffrin (yelling2) "So tell me what's wrong!!!"

Odile (dotdotdot2) ...

Isabeau (sad3) Hm...

Isabeau (hahaha2) Alright, I'll be on explaining duty!!!

(Isabeau takes you aside.)

Isabeau (fufufu1) It's fine, nothing bad happened.

Isabeau (really1) Like Bonbon said, it was just weird, is all.

Siffrin (what1) ("Weird"?) "Did it do something?"

Isabeau (hm5) Well, he, uh...

Isabeau (wonder1) Okay, so that other Sif was standing there...

Isabeau (angry1) And we got closer. And it was strange, 'cuz he wasn't looking at us when we came to them, right?

Isabeau (angry1) He was looking straight ahead, not moving.

Isabeau (angry2) But as I called out to him... I could see he kinda startled, like he was surprised.

Isabeau (sad1) And when we walked in front of them, they looked at us, and, they...

Siffrin (surprised3) "What?"

Isabeau (sad1) Like...

Isabeau (sad3) ......

Isabeau (angry1) See, usually I'd be happy to see that, but here it was just, uh...

Siffrin (upset1) "What? What???"

Isabeau (worried1) Let me speak, I'm trying to understand it too!!!

Isabeau (angry1) First he looked surprised, and then...

Isabeau (disappointed1) Then he looked at us like he was so happy to see us, he was going to cry.

Isabeau (sad3) Even more when they seemed to... Realize we were all here?

Isabeau (sad3) He looked at each of us, and their smile got bigger and bigger every time. Blissful.

Isabeau (sad4) But it wasn't... It wasn't nice or happy or anything. It was just...

Isabeau (sad1) Sad.

Isabeau (sad3) ...

Isabeau (sad2) Why would you look at us like that...?

(That last sentence, said under his breath.)

(You're not sure you were meant to hear it.)

Isabeau (hahaha2) ...So that's why! It was just a little weird, that's all.

Isabeau (really1) And Mira's super stressed right now, so that's why she cried, you know? She'll be fine, we're all fine.

Isabeau (hahaha2) Yeah?

(...)

Mirabelle and the others walk toward Isabeau and Siffrin.

Mirabelle (happy1) Sorry for earlier... I feel better now!

Mirabelle (awawa1) Are you okay too, Siffrin?

Bonnie (hmf3) I gave Belle some snacks so she's okay now.

Odile (hm1) Let's put this behind us. That slowed us down...

Odile (melan1) Let's get going.

("Let's get going"?)

("LET'S GET GOING"?!)

(Are they just going to put it behind them?!)

(That you all see visions of yourself in the House? Reflections?)

(Reflections that aren't you, that cry when they see them?)

(They're fine with it?)

(THEY'RE FINE WITH IT?!?)

(THEY DON'T CARE?!?)

(THEY DON'T--)

Time rewinds.

Isabeau (oh1) Ah!

Bonnie (no!2) Look! Here!!!

Mirabelle (awawa1) That's... That really looks like Siffrin, doesn't it?!

Siffrin (fake3) "I don't see anything."

Siffrin (fake4) "There's nothing there."

Isabeau (huh1) Huh? You don't see the--

Siffrin (fake4) "Nothing at all."

The ghost falls to its knees and disappears.

Bonnie (surprised1) Oh.

Isabeau (angry2) ......

Mirabelle (anxious3) ......

Mirabelle (anxious2) Well, um... I feel like I saw something, but...

Odile (guilty1) Is the stress getting to us that badly?

Odile (dotdotdot2) Let's get going.

"I've been seeing myself in the House.

Loop (lol3) Ah, yes, the copies of you walking around. And?

Siffrin (hide1) "They could see them too."

Loop (oh my1) Your party could?

Siffrin (hide4) "They all went to talk to one of them."

Loop (oh my1) ...

Siffrin (hide4) "It smiled at them."

Siffrin (hide5) "Mirabelle was really upset."

Siffrin (hide6) "Why would me smiling at them scare her that much?"

Loop (subdued1) . . .

(Isabeau said it had a blissful smile...)

(Like it was happy to see him... To see everyone...)

(So... It wanted to see them, and he thought it was...)

Loop (subdued1) . . .

Loop (ew1) Heh.

Loop (lol5) It must really have been a disgusting smile, for your Housemaiden to react like this!

(...)

"I've been seeing myself in the House.

Loop (sad2) . . .

Loop (sad2) I shouldn't have said that, earlier.

Siffrin (sad2) (Huh...?) "What?"

Loop (sad1) That the ghost... Or remnant of you, or whatever...

Loop (sad1) That it probably gave them a disgusting smile.

(Oh.)

Siffrin (sadsmile1) "It's fine."

(It's probably true, anyway.)

Loop (sad1) . . .

Loop (serious2) You really love them all, don't you? Even now?

Loop (serious2) Enough for a reflection of you to react like this.

(Enough to make you want to cry.)

Loop (ew1) ...
