S1 E12: Nightmares (GET OUT)

Taking place on a resounding beach, I could hear the seagulls gawking across the ocean blue. Reclined to being on soft sand, I noticed someone standing behind me...unrecognizable...at first. My vision was blurry as I stared at the personage.

Jiro: Where am I? Felt? Reinhard

???: Jiro?! Why did you leave me behind...

Jiro: Who's there? 

???: Poor Ren. I can't believe you weren't able to recognize me.

Jiro: Show yourself! Now!

???: As you wish...But be warned the choices you make will affect your "family"?

-Seeing a whitening smile appear in the darkness, the shadowy figure kept moving side to side- 

Jiro: It can't be...S-S-Subaru? <shocked>

Fake Subaru: What? Disappointed to see me, figured. You're the one person in the world who would understand me....and everything I'm going through. But, you clearly don't care...Why don't you care, Ren Jiro?

Jiro: I do! I do care! Please, Subaru...let me---

Fake Subaru: "Help"...heh <debating> so cliche! I don't need you...it seems you have your own personal interests...

Jiro: (Honest) Well, I actually do...Felt might be in trouble and I gotta do everything in my power to protect her from---

Fake Subaru: From who? Elsa?! The woman will find you again, Jiro. And once she does, there will be nothing stopping her from killing your so called "little sister"...huh that does sound weird. Ren Jiro has a sister and actually cares for someone imaginative... <shouts> WAKE UP!!!

Jiro: (Tired) What do you want from me, imposter?

Fake Subaru: Nothing in particular but...the idea of wanting to see what decision you would make...and I will "judge" you fairly based on that very choice. 

Jiro: That's all? I thought you would---try harming me. 

Fake Subaru: No...but I do wanna show you this <evil smirk>

-Waving his hand to drift the mist away from my perspective...I could see a "castle"...not the one I'm living in...this is quite smaller...-

Jiro: What are you trying to show me?

Fake Subaru: You are still blind after I granted you the "sight"...poor child...look closer.

-Then that's what hits me...the visual of Subaru falling asleep....as if he was in some type of coma. I knew he would awaken but the images kept flipping...meanwhile I saw him...suffer-

Jiro: (Scarred) STOP! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE FUTURE?! <shutting his eyes>

Fake Subaru: Oh! But, you can't my dear child....Because it already happened...My, My! <checking the flip-phone clock> it was a few days ago...hehe

Jiro: What's so funny? Can't you see...my friend is in pain and needs me---

Fake Subaru: And why should I care about that "loser"?

Jiro: Watch your fucking tone, girl. He's more capable of doing something right compared to you...Why am I even talking to someone like you anyways? 

Fake Subaru: (Angry) YOU DON'T KNOW A SINGLE THING ABOUT ME! 

Jiro: You're right...I don't...<pauses> care...enough to find out.

Fake Subaru: Arrogant Monkey. How dare you speak to me in such a manner?
