"It was a cliff." Norman said. "What? Seriously?" Emma asked. "And it wasn't a height we could easily jump from. Krone definitely wasn't lying. And the demons don't take us lightly. A cliff like that needs no security." Norman said. "You mean we can't use the wall to escape?" You asked. "Well..." Norman said. You three gasped. "There is a way." Norman said. Norman took out a notebook and a pencil and began to draw. "I ended up going to the edge of the wall. It split into two more. One side still faced the cliff. The other made up the side of the house here. They were both at 60 degree angles. And the two walls on the inside were identical. I saw the same scenery ahead." Norman said. You three gasped. Norman nodded. "So basically, what I've learned from this, is that the house is on a hexagon property surrounded by a cliff." Norman said. You gasped. "And the lot that's directly west of where we are in plant three is likely the headquarters. It was the only lot with a bridge. Since we can't escape by using the wall, that bridge is our way out." Norman said. Then there was a knock on the door. You four gasped and turned around. Phil opened the door.

"Norman! Mom's calling for you!" He informed. "Tell her I'll be right there." Norman said. "Okay." Phil said. Phil closed the door. You, Ray and Emma sighed in relief. Norman got up. Well, I should get going." He said. "Hey, just wait a minute!" Ray said. "Norman!" You and Emma shouted. Norman gave Ray the device back. "Here. I didn't use it." He said. Ray gasped. "Seriously?!" He roughly grabbed Norman. "You were gonna come back from the start, weren't you?!" Ray accused. "You said we would survive together! But this whole time, you were planning-" Norman smiled. "Yeah. Sorry I lied." He said. 

You three gasped. "I can't risk making any mistakes. 'Cause I can't let you die. The plan might be ruined if I run, and that would be a problem for me. I don't even want a chance of losing. You can't change my mind. I've decided." Norman said. Ray stepped back and sat down on the bed. Then put a hand over his head. "So, I did what I could today." Norman put the matches on the table. "I'm leaving the rest to you. Make sure the escape succeeds." He said. "Now wait a second!" You said. Norman then hugged the three of you. "You're warm. Thanks, you guys. Because of you three, I had a good life. I had fun. I was happy. I was fortunate." Norman said. Ray began to cry. "No. You can't. Damn it." He hugged Norman. You hugged him too. "Hey, Norman, it's not too late to run." Emma said. "Just go hide in the forest." You said. Norman released from the hug. "It's like I already said, I made my choice." He said. You gasped. He began to walk away. "Goodbye." He said. As Norman was packing, he saw a string telephone you had created when you were little. He smiled at the memory.

Flashback

Norman coughed as he laid in bed as Isabella took his temperature. "Another cold. No snowball fights for you." She said. "Norman can't play anymore?" You asked. "Not until he gets better. Which means I don't want any of you in the infirmary for a while, understand?" Isabella asked. "Yes, mom." The children said. Norman sighed. A while later you jumped on his bed. "Boo!" You said. "(Y/n)." He said. "I came to visit." You said. Norman coughed. "Yeah, but mom said not to." He pointed out. "I know she did, but you're all by yourself when you get sick like this. I thought you might be alone." Norman blushed. You sat on a stool chair next to his bed. "I'll do all the talking so you don't have to. Is that okay?" You asked. "You can't stay here. You'll catch my cold." Norman said. "That isn't true." You said. "Huh?" Norman asked. "I was told I'll never ever get sick!" You said. "Hmm?" Norman asked. Isabella sighed. "(Y/n)!" She said. You gasped. "When did you sneak in here?" She walked over. "Careful, or you'll get sick too." She said.

"Don't worry mom, Ray said that I'd be fine!" You said. "What?" She asked. "This book said that idiots don't get sick." Ray said as he held a book in his hands. Isabella sighed and grabbed your hand. "Regardless, you can't be in here, (Y/n)." She said as she dragged you out. You and Norman tried to reach for each other's hands. "You can play with him once he's better. Do you understand?" She said. "Yes, mom." You said. Norman sighed and Isabella put do not cross tape over the door. Norman turned around and tried to go to sleep. Then he heard the other children playing outside and sighed.
