Dr. Hill sits in his chair behind his desk in the mines. Chapter 10, Resolution/Repentance, and one hour until dawn.

Dr. Hill stands up from his desk and walks over to a trembling Josh who is clutching his head. Hill rubs his hands together and crouches before speaking to Josh.

Dr. Hill: I wonder how much these "sessions" are of any help to you now. You just won't listen to me and things seem pretty... fucked up.

Dr. Hill stands up and turns his back to Josh.

Dr. Hill: So, I'm going to leave you now, Josh. It's time, you learned, there is more to be afraid of, than can be dreamt up by the unhinged imagination of a self-indulgent, spoiled little brat!

Dr. Hill turns his back to Josh.

Dr. Hill: You had so many people who cared about you... who were willing to help! But at every turn you chose to push them away... And now, you're all alone.

Josh whimpers softly and continues to breathe heavily... Dr. Hill begins to walk away from Josh...

Dr. Hill: Though by the sounds of things, you won't be alone for long. No, you won't be alone for long. Deep breaths, Josh. Deep breaths...

Dr. Hill walks away and leaves Josh by himself. Josh, lying on the ground, moves to get up.

Hannah: Frère Jacques, Frere Jacques. Dormez vous?

Josh: No. No. No. No.

Pippa: Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques. Dormez vous?

Hannah: Dormez vous? Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines! Ding dang dong.

Josh: No. No. No.

Pippa: Dormez vous?

Josh: No. No. No. Not again!

Pippa: Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines! Ding dang dong.

Hannah: Ding, dang, dong.

Josh: Not again! Get away! Get away! Get away from me!

Pippa: Ding, dang, dong.

Josh stands up and covers his ears, hearing laughter.

Josh: No! You're dead!

Dr. Hill: Sorry.

Josh: You're dead!!!

Dr. Hill: You can't change what happened last year.

Hannah: Josh.

Josh: Shut up!

Hannah: We miss you, Josh.

Josh: No! You're dead!

Hannah: Come with us.

Mike: A goddamn murderer is what you are!

Josh: It's not ready...

Chris: You manipulated us!

Josh: No, they're gonna love it.

Chris: You're a coward! Are you insane?!

Josh: I just want us to have a good time. They're gonna love it when it's ready.

Maddie: Oh, my God, no!

Psycho: Hello there.

Josh: I don't take orders from you. You can't tell me what to do.

Maddie: Josh! I don't know what's going on!

Psycho: How does it make you feel?

Josh: You can't tell me what to do anymore...
