## Plot

Manny and Origami are still walking through The Dead Forest. The Dead Forest is a giant forest that is covered in white mist. All the trees are missing their leaves and are sagging over like dying plants. The Forest has a cold, unsettling, lost ambience sound and there is wind every once in a while. The ground is mostly grass, mud, and a dirt road so you won't lose yourself. Upon certain conditions, one can hear whispers of their past mistakes. Origami turns her head at Manny.

**Origami**: "Hey, Manny, was it?"

**Manny**: "Yeah, need anything?"

**Origami**: "How come you saved me earlier? I was a jerk to you."

**Manny**: "Because I don't like leaving people for dead."

**Origami**: "Oh...do you care about me?"

**Manny**: "...I care about everyone. Speaking of which, why was the inky black kid trying to kill you?"

**Origami**: "Uhh...um...A group of other kid kept using me and I thought Ink would have my back...he didn't. He was using me to. Even my twin sister, Jammy, didn't care. Can I get an explanation of why your here?"

**Manny**: "I'm just trying to find two of my friends. A boy wearing blue and another boy wearing green. How did they use you by the way?"

**Origami**: "They abused me, talked behind my back, always hit me. They always..."

Origami's life flashes before her eyes to show Virus, Error, Jammy, and Ink as shadow figures and telling Origami to do something reckless to herself like get herself noticed by monsters, jumping off of high places, injure herself, and carry objects that are clearly over weight for her. One scene shows Origami listening to them through the door. She hears them calling her slurs and disturbing insults. A bloody knife manifests in front of Origami and she reaches for her.

**Origami**: "I kept coming back to them thinking they loved me. But I started to see other wise."

Origami then transitions to her fixed version, not having cuts and her clothes are patched up, to her broken self with multiple cuts and bandages all over her. She is also holding the knife.

**Origami**: "Words hurt like hell, Manny. Words hurt."

**Manny**: "Have...you...ever felt someone truly love you..."

Origami's voice sounds more saddened and depressed. Hate is manifests in front of Origami in the flashback in her "Love" form.

**Origami**: "Love" is confusing, Manny. All my "love" vanished instantly and became nothing but abusing rotting "HATE"

Hate has a painful glitchy transitioning to her "Hate" form as if she was mutating. Origami clenches her fists and the flashback ends.

**Origami**: "Soon, I tried ditching them, but they kept perusing me, trying to kill me since. It hurts, Manny."

Origami's voice sounds to become distorted with pure anger and hatred.

**Origami**: "IT FUCKING HURTS!!!"

Origami balls up her fist and slams it into the nearest dead tree, causing it to crack and shatter. Origami stares at her hand which has splinters in it. She turns to Manny, who is scared out of his mind.

**Origami**: "I'm sorry if I scared you..."

Origami begins crying and Manny looks to the side. He grabs something and passes it over to Origami. Origami sees its a pile of flowers.

**Origami**: "Are these...for me?"

Manny nods yes. Origami holds the flowers and smiles. Origami wipes her tears and stares at Manny for a while. She then sees a distorted glowing hospital in the distance.

**Origami**: "Manny! Look! We can find shelter there!"

**Manny**: "Oh! Yeah, sure!"

Manny holds out his hand to Origami. Origami hesitates at first.

**Manny**: "You...uhh don't have to..."

Manny retracts his hand and starts walking with Origami. When walking Origami hears voices of herself, but also mixed in there is Virus, Error, Jammy, and Ink. Manny doesn't seem to notice. The voices echo around as if they were coming on multiple angles all at once. They orbit around her like a spinning record player.

**The Voices**: "If you really wanted to die you wouldn’t tell anyone, you’d just do it. Suicide is the easy way out. You’re just doing this for attention. Nothing but an accident. Fake friend to love. You're not pretty enough to be this stupid. I'm surprised your still alive. You twit. Your worthless. Useless girl. Just go away! Nobody loves you! You shouldn't have been born! Burn in hell. You don't deserve a family! Kill yourself, Origami!"

Origami covers her ears and starts to hyperventilate. She collapses to her knees and reaches out for Manny, but the area around her gets darker and darker. Origami crawls to the nearest pond and looks into it. She splashes the water trying to get Hate to be summoned. She then looks up to see Hate has now become giant and twisted. Jammy, Ink, Error, and Virus have also became twisted and deformed monsters. They ALL reach for Origami as she screams and cowards on the ground. She is then brought back to reality as Manny is shaking her. He is crying.

**Manny**: "Hey! Hey! HEY!!! Are you okay?!? Wake up!"

Origami wakes up and stares at Manny. Origami quickly stands up and looks around.

**Manny**: "Woah! Hey! I lost you back there. Is everything okay?"

Origami nods yes and hugs herself in fear, Manny helps her keep her balance.

**Manny**: "Listen, if there's something wrong, then just tell me."

**Origami**: "Nothing is wrong! I swear! I just need a seat."

From the bushes near them, Ink, Virus, Jammy, and Error are shown watching Origami. They are all children and the same age as Origami. Ink is shown aggressively licking a purple popsicle.

Virus wears red and brown. His hair is black and it covers his eyes. He seems to have a glitchy aura warped around him. His skin is brown and he also has freckles. He seems to be constantly twitching and glitching. His voice seems to be distorted to.

Jammy looks similer to Origami, although she wears blue shirt and pants. She has long black hair and lacks any cuts. Jammy has peach skin and freckles on her face.

Error is simply just wearing a dark green sweater and pants. He has a black mask over his mouth and his hair is short and black. Error's skin is a darkened pale peach color.

**Ink**: "That's the boy I told you about! She seems to care for him...I think..."

**Virus**: "Can we...can we get her???"

**Error**: "Not yet!"

Ink sticks his tongue out in annoyance.

**Error**: "Quit licking that popsicle. That's why your tongue is permanently purple."

Error slaps the popsicle out of Ink's hand.

**Error**: "How about we play mine and chase and then we can take her to our hideout."

**Virus**: "I LOVE Mine & Chase!"

**Jammy**: "Can the new boy play to?"

**Error**: "Certainly!"

Ink looks down upon remembering what he did earlier.

**Error**: "Ink, what's the matter? Don't you wanna play to?"

**Ink**: "Nothing, its just...Origami used to be my friend. I did like her."

**Error**: "You don't want me infecting you with my venom, do you?"

Error's nose leaks a black venom and Ink yelps and whimpers.

**Error**: "That's what I thought. Now, get to playing the game!"

Manny and Origami are walking together until Jammy first runs up and slices through Manny's back, cutting him. Manny yelps. Ink comes and slices Manny's arm, then Virus cuts Manny's chest, then Error cuts his face. Manny rolls to the floor in pain. Origami crawls to Manny.

**Origami**: "Manny! Are you okay?!"

Origami looks up to see her former friends standing in front of her. Origami tears up upon seeing them. She holds Manny's drenched in blood body.

**Origami**: "I-I think I'm going to go now.."

**Error**: "Origami, you're not going anywhere."

Origami steps back but struggles to hold Manny. Error smirks as she attempts to leave. Origami notices Ink is missing. She is then stabbed from behind by Ink. Ink has a guilt expression and is frowning. Ink whispers to himself.

**Ink**: "I'm sorry...old friend"

Origami blacks out and falls. She reawakes inside The Memory Hospital. She and Manny are strapped to a torture machine. The machine has tons of knifes, buzzsaws, and plenty of sharp cutting tools. The machine fires on and the sharp tools start spinning rapidly. Origami hyperventilates as she is moved on a conveyer belt to be grinded to pieces. She looks up to see other kids being dragged into the machine. They get chopped up and spit out of the machine's exhausts pipe similar to a wood chipper.
