Ellie's frown deepens a little.

"No. I've never heard of the East Blue." It's weird to her that it's not, like, a town name. The East Blue. What the hell.

Is this not Mathias? Did she somehow escape that nightmare? She doesn't remember leaving. All she remembers is…well, nothing. Not even going to sleep.

That can't be right. Of course she went to sleep. She fell asleep watching TV on the couch here in Sweet Acres. But her mind fails to fill in a space for Koby, and that anchors her.

Her eyes dart towards the door. The knocking is back, just barely. For the moment, she ignores it. In Mathias at night, when they were warned not to go out, that meant business. There would be monsters or something. Monsters don't knock, though, right?

"Sorry, this is…a lot. I'm Ellie," she says, realising she didn't actually tell him. He looks like he might vibrate through the floor with anxiety, and really? She can't blame him.

"Do you remember this place? This house? I have this weird feeling like…it's familiar."
