00:00Hi mom! I'm your daughter!

00:02You believe me, right?

00:03I can totally prove it!

00:05I know everything that your daughter would know cause I'm her!

00:08I'm definitely not a demon or anything.

00:10I'm not...

00:12evil.

00:13I promise, I just love you.

00:16I'm your daughter.

00:17Duh duh duh.

00:18Nima question mark?

00:19Nima exclamation point.

00:21I am Nima.

00:22Am I Nima?

00:23I am Nima.

00:25Nima.

00:25Also the background should be red,

00:27but I had to match this green.

00:28It was pretty epic.

00:29Also this is giving me

00:30not a human vibes if you remember that game,

00:33so I had to match.

00:35Dark, cold, endless, and utterly serene.

00:38The perfect undulating prison

00:40for you to spend eternity.

00:42An irritating yet familiar voice scratches at your brain

00:46and you find yourself violently awoken by a mysterious figure.

00:51It worked?

00:52You're breathing.

00:53Oh it's me! I'm so cute!

00:56Oh the art in this is amazing!

00:58The air is cold and stagnant.

01:01The walls that surround you provide the room

01:03with a distinct lack of natural light.

01:06Oh you know what else?

01:07This kind of reminds me of like

01:08Andy and Lele art style.

01:10I love it.

01:11You are underground.

01:12Dozens of boxes overflowing with trinkets

01:14bring a strange sense of comfort.

01:16That comfort dissipates as you realize

01:18you're tied to the chair you're sitting in.

01:20A bungee cord holds your head up.

01:23That can't be good.

01:24Ooh, how did I not see this over here?

01:29Oh stranger.

01:30The stranger stands across the room,

01:32hesitating to approach.

01:34Oh.

01:35Neema, is that you?

01:37Okay so every time something happens,

01:39I learn something.

01:40Because I'm definitely not an alien or a demon

01:43that doesn't know anything.

01:44I'm definitely your daughter.

01:45Leave a like if I'm your daughter.

01:47Yeah that's right, that's right.

01:48Words in your brain can be combined to unlock what.

01:51Oh so I can just, ooh, ooh.

01:54All right, so stranger and Neema.

01:57Mom.

01:57When you're done, words can be dragged from your brain

01:59down to your mouth to unlock new dialogue options.

02:02Got it.

02:03Mom, is that you?

02:04It's me, your very cute and adorable daughter.

02:07Mom, what's going on?

02:09Wait, yes it's all coming back to you now.

02:11You are Neema Lee.

02:13And this is your mother, Annabelle Lee.

02:15Mom breathes a sigh of relief and smiles.

02:17I wonder if this is an Edgar Allen Poe reference.

02:21Oh thank God.

02:22I thought I'd lost you.

02:24She excitedly steps forward but stops herself

02:26just short of throwing her arms around you in an embrace.

02:28What you doing, Mom?

02:29Stop being sketchy and hug me.

02:31I'm your daughter.

02:32She pauses.

02:33Lost, me?

02:35Mom shudders.

02:36Let me bring you some food first.

02:38You must be starving.

02:39Mom exits the basement,

02:41excitedly clamoring her way upstairs.

02:43I hope she trips and cracks her skull.

02:46Thanks, Mom.

02:48Love you.

02:49You didn't hear those intrusive thoughts.

02:52A sopping wet bowl of slop is gently presented to you.

02:55Mm, yum.

02:58The odor reminiscent of wet dog and dirty socks

03:01is masked by overwhelming amounts of soy sauce.

03:04Your nose begins to shrivel like a worm left out in the sun.

03:07Mom unties your hands but leaves your waist and head

03:09fastened to the chair.

03:11Oh, she's suspicious of me still.

03:12With some effort, you can now eat your gruel.

03:15She places a small, dull spoon in your now free hand.

03:18She's even uglier up close.

03:21Okay, Nima, before you eat, we need to have a little talk.

03:25Oh, no.

03:26There was an accident.

03:28Your memories may have been affected,

03:30and I want to ensure you're okay

03:32before everything goes back to normal.

03:34You got it, I know everything,

03:36because it's me, your daughter.

03:38You're going to be living and sleeping

03:40in the basement from now on.

03:41Why?

03:42Can you untie me?

03:43You're tied up for your own safety.

03:45If you fall unconscious,

03:47I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself.

03:49Oh, yeah, sure.

03:50Just follow her rules and then we'll be free.

03:53You're not a prisoner.

03:55This is just a controlled environment

03:57for you to heal in, okay?

03:59You look at the bowl of food and then back up at her.

04:00You try to nod, but your head just bounces in your binds.

04:04All right, so starting tomorrow,

04:06I'm going to be bringing you items.

04:08I want you to think of how these items make you feel

04:12if they bring back any memories.

04:14Hmm, well, if one of the items is

04:16my brand new graphic novel, Going Under,

04:18then the memories it will bring back are excitement

04:22and fear, because it's a scary graphic novel.

04:26But yeah, it's coming out end of spring.

04:27So make sure to click or tap the video

04:29and check out the product link right here

04:30or in the description or in the comments.

04:32It's everywhere.

04:33This is promo month, pre-order promo month.

04:36So yeah, it would mean a lot to me

04:37and really support the channel if you pre-order a copy.

04:40If you're interested, it's cute, it's creepy,

04:42and I'm so ready for you guys to read it.

04:44For now, let's start with something simple as an example.

04:47She takes the bowl of gruel and pushes it toward you.

04:49What does this congee make you think of?

04:52You can start to eat while you talk, if you like.

04:55You hesitate, looking down at the bowl and back at her.

04:58Although she claims there are no wrong answers,

05:00you know that is not true.

05:01She is looking for a specific response.

05:04Crap, do I like my mom's food or do I hate it?

05:08Try connecting ideas in your mind

05:10and see where those trains of thought lead you.

05:12Tell me what you're thinking about.

05:14Can I eat the food and taste it?

05:15Oh, okay, hungry stranger.

05:18Guess this was mom, mom and Nima.

05:20Oh, oh, I've learned new words.

05:22Okay, congee, hungry congee.

05:24Disgust, okay, your congee is disgusting.

05:27Ew, was that right?

05:29Was that good?

05:30Why you not saying nothing?

05:31Despite every fiber of your being screaming at you not to,

05:34you bravely force a single spoon

05:36of piping hot congee down your throat.

05:38Overwhelmed by the pungent taste

05:39of mom's unconventional methodology of cooking,

05:42you spit it back out.

05:43Better to starve to death than endure another mouthful

05:47of this over-seasoned nightmare.

05:50Dang.

05:51Unsurprisingly, mom looks away in shame

05:53and apologizes for the culinary travesty before you.

05:56Yeah, that's right, you'd be ashamed.

05:58I guess my cooking hasn't improved then.

06:00Yes, yes, I didn't pretend to like it.

06:03I'm sorry, mom, I can't eat this.

06:05Well, you have to eat something.

06:07Should we order takeout?

06:09Mickey D's?

06:10She cringes the notion of spending money

06:12on greasy fast food

06:13when there is perfectly fine congee at home

06:15seems to cause her physical anguish.

06:18You know what?

06:19I have some Bergie's Burger coupons upstairs.

06:23I've been saving them for a special occasion.

06:25To be determined if she'll remember to actually do this.

06:27Huh?

06:28She's going to feed us right?

06:30You yawn.

06:31The bowl of congee certainly chased away your appetite.

06:33Now you'd prefer to find a nice den

06:35to crawl inside and sleep.

06:36Mom sets the bowl aside and lets out a long sigh.

06:39She stares at you intently preparing for something.

06:42How much of the accident do you remember?

06:44You shake your head.

06:46Some things just come to you,

06:47but as far as you're concerned,

06:49everything that happened before you woke up

06:51in this basement feels like a dream.

06:53You were swimming.

06:54You hit your head.

06:55Why do I feel like that's not true?

06:57Why do I feel like you did something to me?

07:00Swimming, okay.

07:02You're lucky I was able to rescue you.

07:04You clutch your head as a bolt of pain travels

07:06from the top of your cranium down to your spine.

07:09Ow.

07:10It's an ugly story.

07:10A memory surges to you.

07:12You recall looking up at your mother's stony face.

07:15In her hand, she clutched a small sharp knife

07:18designed to cut through flesh and organs.

07:21I'm sorry, what?

07:22What?

07:23Your mother looks worried as she reaches out to console you.

07:26You recoil away from her.

07:28Maybe we should talk about this later.

07:30Tomorrow the real test will begin.

07:32You pass those and you'll be free to leave the basement

07:35and everything can return to normal.

07:37She wants to make sure I didn't remember

07:40that she tried to kill me

07:42or at least do something terrible to me.

07:44That's gonna be my theory.

07:45And I came back as a demon, mom.

07:47How am I supposed to pass

07:48if I can barely remember anything?

07:50I suppose it's only fair if you have a chance

07:53to ask me some questions in return.

07:55There's a shuddering pain wracking your brain.

07:58You're almost spent for the day.

07:59Choose your next words carefully.

08:02What do you wanna know?

08:05I can't ask about family.

08:07Pain and swimming.

08:08Love and pain?

08:10Grief.

08:11Nima pain.

08:12Water.

08:13This isn't helping.

08:14Mom sad?

08:15Dad.

08:16Where's dad?

08:16Oh, that might be a bad one.

08:17What if my dad's not around?

08:19Let's try it.

08:20Where's dad?

08:21This is probably a bad pick, but.

08:23Where's dad?

08:24Your mother looks down at her hands.

08:26Dad's not here.

08:28What do you remember about him?

08:29Search your mind for anything

08:30that you can recall about your father.

08:32Memory that returns isn't an event or a story, but a smell.

08:36He smells like fish.

08:37Her mom's stony face cracks into a smile.

08:39Then she laughs.

08:40Yeah, he did.

08:41Your eyelids are growing heavy.

08:43You're running out of energy.

08:44Oh, no.

08:46Anything else you wanna ask me about?

08:49You hurt me?

08:50No.

08:50Yeah, sure.

08:51Let's ask about the incident.

08:52I got hurt while swimming.

08:54You feel like you don't trust that explanation.

08:56Same, kid.

08:57You went swimming by yourself and hit your head on a rock.

09:00I told you not to go because the current was strong,

09:03but you didn't listen as usual.

09:05Well, be a parent.

09:06Tell me not to.

09:07You were lucky I found you when I did.

09:09Really?

09:10Yeah.

09:11Her voice is tinged with regret.

09:13She's lying to you.

09:15You yawn and your mother takes notice.

09:17Nima, sweetie, don't you think it's time to go to bed?

09:20I just have one more question.

09:21Okay, what do you wanna ask?

09:23Ooh, this is, okay.

09:25Something's missing.

09:25James Pond.

09:26Sure, that seems specific.

09:28Isn't there something missing?

09:30There's this fish-shaped hole in your heart

09:31and you can't explain why.

09:33Or is it just a fish-shaped hole in my stomach?

09:36There's a lot missing, sweetie.

09:38We're going to put it back together again, okay?

09:40You nod.

09:41That wasn't helpful at all.

09:42The pain surging through your brain

09:44terminates with a sudden pull of the plug.

09:46Your eyes cut to blindness

09:48and then you feel your body fall forward

09:49to be caught by the ropes fastening you to the chair.

09:53You flicker in and out of consciousness

09:55as rope bolts of electricity wiggle your neurons.

09:58Mom hums a familiar song.

10:00A pair of tender arms bear the full weight

10:02of your malnourished and sickly form.

10:04You are lowered onto a lumpy mattress

10:06tucked in routinely and without indulgence.

10:09Whoever carried you here was hesitant to do so.

10:11Her acts of mothership seem like more of a performance.

10:15Despite that, you feel a gentle hand

10:17lovingly caress the side of your face.

10:19Once again, the world goes dark.

10:23I don't know what that was.

10:30Is that what's in my brain?

10:32My head hurts.

10:33This is my room.

10:36I barely remember it.

10:37Oh, whale!

10:38Okay, so we gotta get intel.

10:40What's he so happy about?

10:41Pissed me off.

10:42Okay, happy, funny, seems lonely.

10:44She needs a friend, okay.

10:45Love that.

10:46Got to the touch.

10:47Oh, dad!

10:48Oh, I was his child and I was her child

10:51in this kingdom by the sea.

10:53Oh my gosh, Annabelle Lee!

10:54It's anchor Alan Poe!

10:56A child's drawing vaguely resembles a koi fish.

10:59James Pond.

11:01Okay, well, I would've gotten that knowledge anyway.

11:03So much fish.

11:05Book is about evolution.

11:07I'm learning everything.

11:09Understanding it, yep, yep.

11:10Trophies, wait, what was I trophies for?

11:12Oh, I'm getting so much knowledge.

11:13So much knowledge.

11:15Ew, ew, ew, ew!

11:16Oh, that felt nice.

11:17Corpse, great.

11:18You know, I was doing this as quickly as possible

11:20because I didn't know if she would come in and ruin it,

11:22but now I'm wondering if I should've been paying attention

11:24this whole time.

11:25Oh, a combo.

11:26My old locker, I can't remember the password.

11:28Oh, Hubert, what am I doing?

11:29Ah!

11:31Just making a bunch of words.

11:34Chair, yeah, some of this.

11:35Yep, knife.

11:36Oh, yep.

11:37Oh, this isn't just ruining everything.

11:39Is it Pond?

11:42Oh!

11:43What would open it?

11:44I was just gonna say, it was like,

11:45the one thing it just kept saying was James Pond.

11:48I'm trying to think of four-letter words.

11:49Do not trust the woman.

11:51Kill her.

11:52Oh, you don't say.

11:53It wasn't like she was sketchy this whole time.

11:56Who wrote over my diary?

11:57Is this my boyfriend or did I just imagine he was?

12:00Sure, let's knock for mom.

12:02Probably not prepared, but.

12:03Are you awake?

12:05Yes.

12:06Oh, God.

12:07Look creepier, mom.

12:08Jesus.

12:09You hear her undo a series of dead bolts,

12:12opening the door only a crack

12:13for it to be caught by the chain lock and held nearly closed.

12:17She studies you.

12:18She closes the door.

12:20You hear her undo the last chain and open the door again.

12:22You didn't clean yourself up?

12:24The bathroom door was locked.

12:26Cold demeanor thaws for a moment.

12:28Shit.

12:30She pounds her head with the palm of her hand.

12:32She gestures for you to go sit at the table

12:33while she retreats into her room and locks the bathroom.

12:37Quick, lock her in.

12:39You hesitate, weighing the risk

12:40of trapping your mother in your prison.

12:42She returns quickly and efficiently.

12:43Your bathroom is unlocked.

12:45She doesn't take note of you,

12:47passing by to ascend the stairs in a staccato of thumps

12:51and exits the basement.

12:53You fidget in your chair,

12:54wondering if you did something to upset her.

12:57She's not buying it.

12:57She returns, trundling, clumsily down the stairs.

13:01She holds the railing to keep herself steady.

13:03In her other hand,

13:04she carries a large tote bag bulging with concealed items.

13:08All right.

13:09She calms down a bit and smiles placidly at you.

13:12Good morning, Nima.

13:14Good morning.

13:15Don't forget to call her mom.

13:17Did you sleep well, mom?

13:19No.

13:20Disgusting.

13:22She is wearing the same clothes from yesterday.

13:24She looks disheveled.

13:25It's unclear if she slept at all.

13:27Are you feeling any pain?

13:29Yesterday, our conversation ended rather abruptly.

13:32Your vitals are stable

13:33and you seem to have made a full recovery.

13:35Yes, I'm feeling well.

13:38Good.

13:39She flips up a notebook and makes note of that response.

13:43Jace.

13:43How was your sleep?

13:44Any interruptions or strange dreams?

13:47Lie to her.

13:48I know.

13:49She flips her notebook closed

13:50and the fake smile turns into a real one.

13:53You're going to do better today, right?

13:54Today is going to be a little different from yesterday.

13:57With me, I have some items.

13:59All you need to do is tell me how they make you feel.

14:02Can you do that for me?

14:04Yes.

14:05She places a plushie of a shark

14:06upon a table in front of you.

14:08For some reason, it invokes unfamiliar feelings within.

14:11Nostalgia, sorrow, most intriguingly, love.

14:16Now, is there anything this reminds you of?

14:19Am I supposed to say love?

14:20Oh, the trip.

14:21It's the toy dad got me at the aquarium.

14:24Can we go?

14:24Can we get tickets?

14:26Yes, let us out of the bowl.

14:29It's not really a good time for that right now.

14:31Aw, man.

14:33Promise we will go sometime, okay?

14:35Just like how we used to when dad was still around.

14:40Memories of your father's embrace fill your mind.

14:42He's no longer with you,

14:43but the plushie still connects the two of you together.

14:46Maybe after we're all done here.

14:48Does that sound good?

14:49Yeah, okay.

14:50Mom lets out a melancholic chuckle.

14:52It's funny.

14:54He used to bring this thing everywhere with you.

14:56I remember you never let me take it from you,

14:58even to wash it.

14:59Your father used to say it was starting to look

15:01more like a catfish than a shark.

15:03He even considered buying a second one to switch out

15:06so we could clean it when you weren't looking.

15:08Hey!

15:09We never did, don't worry.

15:10After he passed, you were even more inseparable.

15:14You wanted to hold on to anything

15:15that reminded you of him.

15:17You and mom share a moment of nostalgic silence,

15:19reminiscing on the warmth of a face

15:21that fades more and more into memory every single day.

15:23That's so sad.

15:26Mom lovingly plants her hand on your cheek.

15:28I'm just glad I didn't lose both of you.

15:31Okay, Nima, let's move on to something else.

15:33Pulls out a chunk of rock with a strange formation

15:37entombed into its surface.

15:39There's a prismatic glow to the rock,

15:41an opalized skeleton frozen in time

15:43and then cracked open like an egg.

15:45Mother hesitates, unsure if she should show you this thing.

15:48Still, she places it on the table and pushes it toward you.

15:52What does this remind you of?

15:55It's a rock.

15:56Oh, that's cool.

15:57Okay, I was gonna say,

15:58I have way too many things to go through.

15:59So it's saying I'll get a response

16:01if it's either shark, earth,

16:03because it's got a highlight.

16:03Pride, forgotten, pretend, erosion, science, time, guilt,

16:07isolation, school, fossil, book.

16:09Oh God, nevermind, this isn't gonna help me.

16:11Your work.

16:12Oh, your work.

16:13Okay, it keeps going toward your work.

16:15Your work.

16:16You have a memory of being at the top of the stairs

16:19to the basement, peeking down at your mother

16:20while she toiled away down here in her lab.

16:22She was looking at this rock,

16:23spending all her time with it as if it had enchanted her.

16:26She wouldn't let you see what she was working on.

16:28Every time you interrupted, she'd tell you firmly to leave.

16:31This is the topic of her next research study,

16:34a study she has been working on night and day

16:36for most of the summer.

16:37You spent the whole summer with that fossil.

16:40Time got away from me.

16:42The memories are all tinged with loneliness and guilt.

16:44Your mother had called you her lab assistant,

16:47but all you did to help her was cook and clean.

16:49Back then, you told yourself you did all that work for love,

16:52but now you can't help but feel indignant.

16:55Kind of a waste of time sitting down here in the dark

16:58while the summer passes.

16:59You touched a nerve with that.

17:01She reacts by falling her fists.

17:03A steel veil crosses over her eyes.

17:05Oh no.

17:06You spoiled brat.

17:07You can play and do nothing all summer.

17:10Maybe to you, this looks like I'm wasting my time,

17:13but all this work I've done so we can fix our family.

17:17You shouldn't have said that.

17:18Well, my bad.

17:20I have brain damage.

17:23Why not?

17:24It's the truth.

17:24Play, you didn't let me go outside.

17:27I feel like I was in prison.

17:29You had to learn your lesson.

17:31What lesson?

17:32You really shouldn't have said that.

17:35I don't think we should continue talking about this.

17:37I want to focus on happy memories today.

17:39You are my good and happy daughter, Nima.

17:42She speaks as if she's reminding herself who you are,

17:45but the tone is clearly suggesting

17:47that you've begun to wander off the script

17:49she's set out for you.

17:50What lesson, mom?

17:52Don't get all righteous with me,

17:54as if it's my fault that we ended up like this.

17:56You're the one who betrayed my trust.

17:58You're the one who put this entire experiment in jeopardy.

18:02I was ready to forgive you,

18:03for us to go back to the way things were,

18:05but it seems you're too spiteful to move on.

18:08You're not Nima.

18:09Yes, I am.

18:12Nima would never act like this.

18:14Nima would never question me like this.

18:16Oh no, I said something wrong.

18:19The work thing?

18:20That's it, it's time for bed.

18:22Your mother grits her teeth

18:23to hold herself back from speaking further.

18:25Roughly, she picks you up by your arms

18:27and hauls you back to your room.

18:29She deposits you across the threshold of the door

18:31and then quickly closes the door behind you.

18:33You hear her voice muttering something

18:35about controlled stimulus as she stops away from the door

18:38and begins ascending the stairs out of the basement.

18:41You messed up, pushed your buttons too much.

18:44She doesn't love you anymore.

18:45You banish the errant thought from your mind.

18:48After the interrogation today,

18:49you want for nothing else but the comfort of the bed.

18:52You find yourself awake in bed.

18:54There are heavy weights on your arms.

18:56You try to wiggle and your arms push

18:58against a series of tight ropes that bind you still.

19:01Uh-oh.

19:02I told you she doesn't like failure.

19:05Oh God, what are you doing?

19:06Your mother enters the room,

19:07wiping a small steel pick with an antiseptic tissue.

19:11What are you doing, mom?

19:12You're awake?

19:13I didn't use enough anesthesia.

19:16Oh, I don't like the music either.

19:17What's going on, mom?

19:18What are you doing?

19:20I'm your daughter.

19:22You try to scream, but you discover your mouth is gagged.

19:25That's fine.

19:25You won't need it.

19:26She leans over you, placing her knee on your stomach

19:29to pin you and gripping your face with a clawed hand.

19:33The pick itches closer to your eye.

19:35Mom, please don't do this.

19:36I'm your daughter.

19:37I swear, I'm your daughter.

19:38I'm your daughter.

19:38I was just really upset the last time

19:40you were working a lot and we didn't play.

19:42Don't blame yourself.

19:44It's my fault, really.

19:45Something must've went wrong with the procedure

19:48for you to come out like this.

19:50She begins to caress your cheek.

19:52Her hands are trembling ever so slightly.

19:54But that's okay.

19:56Oh, what do you do?

19:58Oh, don't.

20:01There's always next time.

20:03Oh, so she's the one.

20:04Okay, well, obviously I knew I wasn't in a swimming accident.

20:08You feel the blade scrape past your socket

20:10and push out into the nerve of your brain.

20:12Your life terminates with a pop

20:14as she severs your brain in half.

20:17Suddenly it's dark.

20:18Dark, cold, endless, and utterly serene.

20:21You spend an eternity in this darkness

20:24until a familiar voice.

20:27Nima?

20:28What?

20:29Yeah, that's how the game started.

20:31That was cool.

20:32Could I have progressed more?

20:35Let me see.

20:36Let me just try one different answer for that last one.

20:38Like something more happy, I guess.

20:40Okay, so we're not gonna talk about work.

20:43Maybe anything I do is probably,

20:46because it's a demo, it's probably, I found it.

20:48Ooh, I found it is a new one.

20:51Your work.

20:51No, we're not doing that.

20:52Your work.

20:53No, okay, I'm gonna say I found it.

20:55I found that parcel.

20:56I found it in Kicking Horse River.

20:59You were so happy when I gave it to you as a present.

21:01Mom looks pleased.

21:03She reaches out and starts to run her fingers

21:05across the fossil.

21:06Yes, I was.

21:08It surprised me because you usually don't find fossils

21:10like that underwater.

21:12It must have slid all the way down there

21:14from the mountain to end up there.

21:15You start to recall the day that you dived in.

21:18The clearness of the turquoise water

21:20that made it easy to see the bottom.

21:21The rock that seemed to call to you

21:23your mother's carefree smile.

21:24It looks like it's broken though.

21:26Mother nods, not looking at the fossil.

21:28She already knew it was broken.

21:30I extracted the fossil after you gave it to me.

21:33Some of the imprints are still there though.

21:35You feel like mom isn't telling you everything.

21:37There was something special about this fossil

21:39when you found it.

21:40The reason you ran across the rocks to present it to her.

21:43Can I see it?

21:44No, not right now.

21:45I'm still studying it.

21:46That's okay.

21:47I can wait until you're ready.

21:48Until then, I'm happy to help you in any way I can.

21:52Cooking, taking care of the house, picking up after you.

21:55It's all fine, so long as you can achieve your dreams.

21:59What's that supposed to mean?

22:00Oh my God, so no matter what I do, I just piss her off?

22:03Your mother had called you to her lab assistant,

22:05but all you do is help her cook and clean.

22:07Oh no, is it?

22:08It's not fair that I have to do all this work

22:10and don't even know why.

22:12All this work?

22:13Doing your chores is just the bare minimum.

22:16Don't be ungrateful.

22:17This project is going to fix our family.

22:19Bare minimum?

22:20You didn't let me leave the house.

22:21I felt like I was in prison.

22:23Oh my God, oh no, oh no.

22:25Same thing's gonna happen, isn't it?

22:27It's gonna happen again.

22:29So it's just like a loop.

22:30I just keep messing up and then she clears my memory

22:34and I have to try again.

22:36So yeah, I think regardless at this point,

22:38it's just always gonna come to this,

22:40being that it's just a demo and or I think chapter one.

22:45You have to figure out how to not get stabbed in the brain.

22:48All right, well that was Am I Nima?

22:50Chapter one.

22:51If you wanna see chapter two,

22:53make sure you leave a like before you go.

22:54If it seems like there's enough interest, I will continue

22:57because I am her daughter, okay, I am.

23:00I'm not evil.
