“You don’t remember this, but last time we were here, you killed me!

It was incredible! I didn’t know you had it in you!

It’s what I’ve been looking for all along

Someone just like me.

And that’s when I knew I’ve been wrong this whole time! Your traitor of a brother doesn’t deserve my legacy. You do.

And to think I wanted a boy when all this time you were all I needed”

“…Congratulations on growing past your sexist views, I guess”

“I know, I know. Im a total supporter of women’s rights now”

“So… what do you want from me? To kill you again?”

“Haha, no”






“I want you to join me”

“What…?”

“Oh, it would be great! A father-daughter business.

You would have everything you’d want! Money, connections, influence,

Haunted houses

I know you like those!


I know I’ve havent been the most attentive father in the world, yes, yes

But that can change now! I love you, my daughter! Let’s be together forever!”


“… You cannot be serious”

“Oh, I am

In fact, if you go with me, you can leave this place.

With only one death in your pocket! How lucky is that?


Don’t you want it?”


Nadia stares in silence


“Um, Nadia”


“We’re not going to judge you no matter what decision you make, okay?

There’s nothing wrong with wanting out of this as quick as possible”

“I will judge you. But I know you’re not stupid enough to actually agree”

“Ángel that is not reassuring, we’re going for reassuring here”

“We are?”

“I know you don’t want to hear this, Nadia, but you are a child, and you don’t deserve to be in a place like this”

“I mean, you could go get help”

“No, she can’t!”

“This doesn’t seem like a healthy father daughter relationship to me”

“That’s just because you dont have children, my friend”

“… shut up, both of you”

“I know what I’m doing”


“That’s my girl!”

“Die”


“But, before that. I need to ask”

“Why do you want me to care for your company? I thought it was your pride and joy”

“Ah, that’s pretty simple”

“It’s because I’ll stay here!”


“Here?”

“Yes, in this house”


“Once all of you leave, I’ll stay.

Of course, I’ll still manage some of my companies and do projects. Technology is full of wonders! I’ll be able to do anything I want from here

And never leave”


“…Because of the death loop?”


“Exactly! Who could’ve thought you actually had a brain

I’ll stay here forever, until the end of times

I will never die

So I’ll have all the time in the world to do anything! Isn’t that won derful

But I still need an agent on site, you know? That’s where you come in, Nadia!

You’ll be my little clone, doing things in the dangers of the outside while I stay here!

Forever”

“If you do a good enough job, I could invite you to live here as well! Ah, but you need to have children, okay? Even if it’s adopted ones. We need to keep the lineage going!”




“You are so stupid”




“… Excuse you?”

“You are throwing your life away, forever isolated in the snow.

Can’t you see how stupid is that?”

“…I didn’t ask for life advice, Mr. Detective. Please learn your place”


“Not only that, you’re giving your life away to a haunted house

There are things at play here that you don’t understand. That no one understands.

And you think you can just toy with them however you like? It’s ridiculous!

There’s so many things about this house that are still a mystery! The amount of uncertainty around its time looping mechanism is going to kill you!

Can’t you see how stupid you’re being right now?”


“Houses like these should be destroyed”


Uh oh, that was a bad thing to say


Eugene gets closer

He looks angry


“There’s no uncertainties about the mechanics

All I’ve learned, is through practice

You didn’t think you all were the first people I’ve killed here, did you?

I’ve learned everything there is to know about this house

And I’ll keep on experimenting, I’ll keep on finding out

That’s what should be done with these houses. There’s so much to obtain from them”

“But I’m sure you don’t know anything about that.

All you do is destroy them .”


He’s looking directly into Beebo’s eyes


“I do, and I’d do it again

To every haunted house in existence

I’d destroy them all”



Things get physical very quickly


“You are so fucking full of yourself. You didn’t think for a second what that house could offer you, didn’t you? You are the stupid one here, refusing to look farther than your own fucking nose!”

“You don’t understand! That place was dangerous! This place is dangerous! If it wasn’t for me, you would’ve died ages ago!

You should be thanking me with all your heart for destroying that hell building, I saved your life!”

“You didn’t save shit, fucking coward”

“You are not living here. You are being eaten.”

“Stop being stupid and realize this is not something you should play around with!”

“I am going to take out your eyes, and make you eat them”

“Get away from him”

Ángel has his pocket knife drawn and pointed directly to Coli’s neck

“Or what? You’ll kill me? Are you that eager for your boytoy to forget you again?”

“I can stab you without killing you”

“Oh? Are you sure this is what you want to do? I had a great time practicing stabs to the heart. And a great subject right here”

He grabs Oliver tighly

Oliver feels his chest start to hurt

He tries his best to subdue his growing panic


“Án- Hey, Ángel. It’s okay, back out”

“I will hunt you down to the end of times. No house will save you”

“I’m sure that would work great for you”


“I’ve made my decision”


They all look towards Nadia


“Will you three behave like adults now?”


“Anything for you dear”

Eugene drops Beebo



Oliver and Ángel go towards Nadia, shielding her



“Oliver is right. While I’m certainly interested in these houses, they are not something to be played with

I dont know what power outside our comprehension gives them these abilities, but I know there must be consequences we don’t know about

To live in such uncertainty, it’s not something I want


Nor is it to completely devote my life to becoming a clone of you, for you to use around and throw to situations you are too much of a coward to face on your own.

You are not living, you never were.

You never cared to look around and appreciate everything you had, everything you’d managed to get.

And now you are becoming a hermit, forever

What’s the point of an eternity like that?



I am not like you, not at all


I actually care about people. And people care about me too

I am not your blood, I am Nina’s blood

So, kill me all you want. It won’t change my mind”






“You talk just like your mother, all business like

It’s something I always admired about her

Her capacity to remain logical in times of high pressure”

“It’s a shame she’s going to die!”

“Wait, no!”

Oliver and Ángel run towards Eugene

They know this is their only chance


“We’ll see each other again. I’m sure you’ll change your mind eventually.



We have all the time in the world”




He clicks the button









They hear an explosion












Oliver remembers something
