The two stared at each other in silence. The clock ticking was the only thing you can hear in the silence.

"I've been thinking this whole time. What should I do for Y/n and Norman's sake? The answer is.... to do nothing." Emma said as Ray looked at her with his dead eyes.

"Mom told me to give up and free myself from the pain. But, I will never, ever give up. I won't let Y/n and Norman die in vain." Emma's voice got deeper.

"And you, Ray?" Emma asked. Ray looked away and scoffed. He placed the book he was holding on the table.

"So, we're always thinking the same thing in the end." Ray said.

"Let's run away, Ray. I came here to talk about that." Emma said.

"I wanted to talk to you too. These past two months, we couldn't really talk since we were worried about Mom watching us." Ray said.

"Yeah. I didn't want Mom to figure out our true intentions." Emma agreed with Ray.

"True intentions?" Ray asked.

"Yeah. Mom is being cautious. Even though we weren't doing anything, Mom never stopped watching us. But we could use that against her." Emma explained.

"If she's watching me, I could keep her eyes away from people other than me." Emma said as she pointed at herself.

"Don and Gilda, huh?" Ray asked since it caught his attention. Emma nodded.

"Yeah. I left everything to them. Training for the escape, and all other preparations." Emma mentioned.

"How far long are you?" Ray asked since he was not informed about this plan.

"Everything is ready. Supplies, food, and warm clothing. We can escape anytime." Emma said.

"That's pretty good. Now, how will you run away?" Ray asked as he crossed his arms.

"I worked that out too. I have a plan. Let's run away tomorrow afternoon before you get shipped out." Emma replied.

"Wait. It's too reckless to go out during the day. The situation's different from before. We should leave at night when it's easier to hide." Ray pointed out before Emma could say something, Ray stopped her.

"Hear me out. Sit." Ray gestured to a seat. Emma look at it and sat down.

"Okay. There are two problems. First, Mom's watchful eyes. She's always watching us, and she's always holding one of the younger ones. She'll be doing that during the day, and at night, the babies are in her room. In order to escape with everyone, we'll have to shake Mom off, and separate her from the little ones." Ray said as Emma nodded, agreeing with the plan.

"And then, past the wall is a cliff. We can't climb down from it. If we're escaping, it'll be through the bridge. But there's only one. I'm sure there's security to begin with and once they find out there's been an escape, the guards will rush here. Plus, it's near the headquarters. Those monsters should be everywhere. So, what are you gonna do?" Ray asked; Emma just stayed silent.

"I think this is the best answer." Ray said as he stood up from his chair and grabbed something. Emma looked at him with a confused look. Ray opened the object to reveal something.

"Oil?" Emma asked.

"At night, we'll light the House on fire." Ray explained the reason why he had oil.

"Y-you're going to start a fire?!" Emma exclaimed.

"That's right. When Mom is distracted putting it out, we'll lead everyone outside, saying it's an evacuation. If we seal the door to the secret room, Mom can't notify the headquarters, and headquarters will think it's a fire, not an escape. Then security won't go towards the bridge. We can escape through it then. As a bonus, I also hid ten Molotovs behind some rocks in the forest. " Ray said.
