"I last saw Uncle Marcus when he was counting. His hide-and-seek is my favorite." "Why is your Uncle's hide-and-seek your favorite?" "I dunno, can't remember. But............why are you talking with me, mister detective? Did something happen to Uncle Marcus?" "Uh...No. Nothing happened, kid. But where did you hide? If you don't mind me asking?" "A hider never says their secrets. Even if they're talking with a detective." "Huh, why not?" "Because then I won't be able to hide like that again. If I tell someone, they'll know where to check next time." "Haha, alright, kid. Hey, boss. I'm finished with this one. Who's next?" "The ex-wife. Go speak with her." "Gotcha." "Oh, mister detective." "Yeah, kid?" "I just remembered why Uncle Marcus's hide-and-seek is my favorite" "Really? Why?" "Because other than Dylan and Adrien, he's the only one that finds me...............And the only one that noticed other than them" "Well then. That's an interesting answer. But, kid. I never got your name. What is it?" "Oh, my name's Bryan. Hehe, Bryan DeVil." "Your mom's a lawyer, right? Wanna be like her when you grow up." "Uh, noooo. But I do wanna be like my daddy and make people smile. I like his job." "Oh, isn't that interesting? Well, I'm gonna go and do my detective work. Maybe I'll see you around, kid." "Maybe. Bye-bye" "See ya, kid." .................. "He's not a good detective, is he? He didn't even ask what Uncle Marcus noticed. Why didn't he notice? Why didn't he find me? Why did I win this round? I shouldn't have. Why did I lie?" ............... "That's a good question. Why did you lie? Here's another one. How long will the past, nightmares, and shadows take to find you in this game?"
