Ashley :
There are logs just right here don't you see?
Aiden lights up the fireplace.
Ashley :
What is that over there?!
There is a fabric, that covers a sort of frame I guess? We must see what's hidden behind it!
Aiden removes it.
My heart beats faster...
Ashley :
Guys... Are you okay?
Me :
I don't understand...
Ashley :
What?
Aiden :
Wait... What is disturbing you on the portrait?
Me :
I'm on it! This little kid is me!! How about you?
Aiden :
These two are my grandparents.
Ashley :
Let me clean up the little plate under the frame... Wilson?
Aiden :
It's a surname.
Me :
My surname. With me on the painting...
Ashley :
This is weird... Aiden, what's your surname?
Aiden :
Hillman.
Me :
Oh, but it was written on the mailbox... I saw it the night we arrived! I didn't tell anyone about that because it was an error to me. But it's a coincidence!
Ashley :
Your grandparents are former inhabitants! That explains the painting and the mailbox... They were fortunate enough to buy the mansion.
Me :
I thought my parents had bought it... The night we arrived it came to mind.
Ashley :
Ahem... Sorry Joshua... Your parents had an accident...
(Oh... How should I react? I forgot them, I can't even react like a normal person...)
Aiden :
Maybe, but what can explain why Joshua appears on the painting?
