You and Zoey fell through the seat in the taxi cab and fell onto a bed, landing right beside each other. You both sat up and looked around the room, which looked like some sort of attic bedroom. Like a child's bedroom.

"I can't believe we couldn't save them. If only we'd held the door, it wouldn't have shut on them. They'd still be here." You said, looking up the tunnel you both fell through.

"Yeah, but there's nothing we can do now. They're in a better place." Zoey said to you, trying to comfort you.

"Yeah. You're right." You said. You then set your eyes on a toy train set in the middle of the room. There we're building blocks in the middle of the track that read the name "Sonya". The same name back at the bank room. You and Zoey got up and went over to the toy train set and sat on the floor in front of it.

"Sonya. These rooms are your story." Zoey muttered, reading the blocks on the floor.
You and Zoey both looked over at a teddy bear which it's arms we're moving on it's own. Once you both looked at it, it immediately stopped moving. You both then turned around and looked up at pictures that we're on the wall. It had pictures of a little girl in them and another person which their face was crossed out of the photos.

"That must be Sonya." You said, looking at the little girl in the photos.

"But who is she?" Zoey questioned. Zoey looked over to a box that was sitting beside the toy train set. She crawled over to the chest and opened it, looking inside. There was a lollipop, the same one back at the bank. The exact same photo Brianna took at the beach room, the emergency break Racheal pulled back at the train, an umbrella. And there was a token. The token that you used to put into the token slot at the train as well. The place where all of this started.

"What the hell is all of this?" You questioned.
Zoey then picked up a yellow diary book that was also in the chest. The book was titled 'Sonya's Diary'. She then opened the book and read the page out loud.

"Today was the best day with Mommy. We rode a train to the city. I got a lollipop at the bank. We went to the beach. Mommy told me that when someone you love becomes... a memory... that memory becomes a treasure." Zoey said as she read the diary.

"I've heard that before..." You said. You and Zoey both heard the closet door open behind you and saw a person fall out of it. You both looked over at the person and it was—

Amanda?

You both looked at her extremely shocked and confused. She died. How could she possibly still be alive? You and Zoey both rushed over to Amanda.

"Oh, my God. Amanda?" Zoey said.

"Amanda— I thought— I thought you—" You stammered. You and Zoey both helped Amanda up from the floor and you both hugged her tightly. Even though you both barley knew her, she took the time to tell you both that everything would be okay. She cared enough to tell you about her daughter.

"Zoey... y/n..." Amanda said as she hugged the both of you back, tears flowing from her eyes.

"I don't understand. I thought you we're dead. We watched you die." Zoey said.

"We saw you in the room when the phone line snapped. How are you still here?" You asked her.

"No, you watched me fall. If you didn't see it, it didn't happen." Amanda said, crying into the both of you.
