Two years later, in the same small funeral shop...
Aesop: *living in bliss, in the abandoned shop, in the abandoned village, until he hears lots of clapping*
Aesop: That sounds like a lot of people... I thought I was the only one here...
Aesop: *steps out to see what the commotion is about, but turns around and walks back in when he sees it's just a wedding*
Aesop: Calm down, Aesop, they won't come in...
*somebody knocks on the door*
Aesop: *flinches*
Aesop: Uhhh... Gotta hide...!
Eli: *flings open the door and walks in*
Naib: *stands in the doorway*
Aesop: ...! Umm...
Eli: Is that you, Aesop?
Naib: Dude! Where have you been?!
Aesop: I... I'm not Aesop...
Eli: You sure sound like him, though...
Naib: Mate, stop playing! Tell us why you're here!
Aesop: It's just a coincidence that I look and sound like your friend...
Eli: Oh... Then what's your name?
Aesop: Aes- Ee- Eeeeeli...
Eli: Really? My name's also Eli.
Aesop: That's nice to know...
Eli: Okay, you're coming with us, Mr Eli.
Aesop: Wait, what? I don't want to go back...!
Eli: Go back? Go back to where? Have you been to our home before, Mr Eli?
Aesop: Uh- I heard from my brother Aesop that it's a terrifying place...
Eli: That didn't really answer the question... But, you don't have a choice.
Eli: *grabs Aesop's arm and drags him outside*
Naib: *follows behind them*
The three boys: *go over to where the wedding is taking place*
Eli: Aesop... Stop this facade already...
Aesop: How did you even know?
Eli: That's not the problem here... Why did you leave and not come back for two years?!
Aesop: *trembles a little*
Aesop: I needed to escape...
Eli: Escape what?! What happened?! What did you do, Aesop?!
Aesop: *looking back a few times to his old home*
