00:00 How does it feel being back?
00:05 Good. I had such good memories here. Maybe my happy place can be our happy place?
00:10 Who left you all alone down here?
00:13 It was just my imagination.
00:16 I'm playing a new game with Chauncey.
00:18 The scavenger hunt with? That's fun.
00:20 Chauncey says you're not allowed to play with us.
00:23 Oh.
00:24 Because you left him. I need something happy.
00:27 Something happy?
00:29 Ugh. I thought bugs freaked you out.
00:32 If I can finish my list, Chauncey will take me on a trip to the place he's from.
00:36 Something that hurts.
00:44 Alice!
00:45 You've been spending time with a new friend?
00:56 Why are you with me?
00:59 He asked you to do something that hurt you.
01:03 It was part of the game.
01:05 Does that seem like a game a good friend would want to play?
01:09 Maybe we shouldn't play together anymore, Chauncey!
01:12 Maybe we shouldn't be friends!
01:14 No, no, no, no, no!
01:16 Alice?
01:21 Alice?
01:23 Alice!
01:24 Alice!
01:26 She's lost.
01:29 But we're gonna find her.
01:31 Every culture has entities that tether to the young.
01:36 We call them imaginary friends.
01:39 You are always playing with your imaginary friend.
01:44 When the connection is severed, the entity becomes enraged.
01:52 He says he's right behind you.
01:54 Can I hang out with your imaginary friend?
02:03 He's not imaginary.
02:05 He's not your friend.

02:18 [Sigh]
