"We've got a new rope coming thanks to Don and Gilda. They're using spare sheets from the linen room." Ray smirked.

"So it's done then?" Emma asked.

"Press it against your left ear and hit the button. That'll disable the tracking device. If we use this thing, mom won't know." Ray explained with a sly smile spread across his lips.

"Will it hurt?" Harper wondered, holding onto Rays sleeve.

"Is it made from camera parts?" Emma asked.

Norman got up and patted Harper on the head, "I'll disable mine first and tell you how it feels." He smiled.

She smiled back and hugged Norman.

"It's more than just camera parts. I used parts from the rewards I got from mom and disassembled them. From the camera, all I really wanted was the strobe." Ray explained.

"You've collected these parts...for six years." Norman and Phoebe said in unison, then looked at each other.

"Just so mom wouldn't figure it out." Norman finished.

"Amazing." Emma looked at Ray in awe.

"There's no need to be impressed about it." Ray scratched his head, "I realized the houses secret, I had to do it. And thats that."

"No." Phoebe looked at Ray, "Don't degrade yourself like that. What you've done for us, is amazing. You're saving lives Ray." Phoebe smiled.

Ray smiled back.

"Ray...something's been bothering me. How'd you find out?" Normans eyes gleamed.

Ray stayed quiet.

"I know I asked you this before. A normal kid wouldn't have realized it." Norman wondered.

Ray stayed quiet once again until he decided to speak, "I've always known."

Phoebe frowned and Norman let out a sharp breath.

"I've just always known..." Ray turned around.

The room went quiet and Ray sat on the corner of the bed.

"You know what infantile amnesia is? When most people meet a certain age, they don't have any memories from being a baby. That's infantile amnesia. But in some cases, there are humans who don't forget everything." Ray explained with his head down.

"Wait you mean..."

"I still have memories from inside of the womb. Some of my memories...didn't match with what I'd been told. That's how I knew. My first memory is being in a dark liquid, I could hear a lullaby from somewhere." Rays voice almost broke.

"Do you remember a lot? Or is it hazy." Emma sweat.

"All of its in fragments. But in high detail. Demons faces, and how there were other babies there. They implanted the trackers, and then we were divided into batches of five." He continued on, his eyes glued to the floor the entire time.

"Five?" Norman questioned.

"After that, I went through a tunnel and then I was here." Ray finished.

"The tunnel being the gate?" Norman raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah."

"Wait so past the gate isn't outside but-"

"Headquarters. Headquarters and the adjacent five plants. Those are what make up this house." Ray said nonchalant.

"Then what Krone said was true, every last detail." Emma bowed her head.
