Cyan: I know you're not the impostor!!

Black and Lime turn to look at him.

Cyan: You took on a leadership role right away...you immediately showed us that we could trust you!
Black: And what have I done? I've let everyone down. Look at all the false accusations. Look at all the death! I'm a terrible leader!
Cyan: You're not a terrible leader! You could not have known right away who was the impostor!
Black: (shouting again) That's what makes me a terrible leader!

Black starts sobbing. Nearby, the three ghosts are also quite upset. Cyan goes over to Black to console him.

Meanwhile, Lime stays put. The living crewmates don't notice, but the ghosts do and watch him. Lime is uncertain: He thinks that this would be the perfect time to strike, but he doesn't know if he wants to strike and leave one of them completely vulnerable. He decides to do nothing until Cyan and Black calm down and can continue their tasks. Cyan and Black eventually do calm down, but are still distraught.

Black: I don't know what to do....
Cyan: Let's skip for now.
Black: Okay, that sounds good.
Cyan: Hold on....why is Lime so quiet? Where is he?
Cyan and Black look at Lime, who is just standing there and looking down.
Cyan: Lime? What's wrong?

Lime does not move. Suddenly, the lights go out.
