Who are you?

Lara

**"who are you?"** is the 14th video uploaded to the *i am sophie* YouTube channel.

It is the third video that shows some of the 12 vlogs that Lara created for her channel called "**Lara Plays**" from the period of the 2nd of June 2019 to the 15th of February 2020 (same day as the upload of "The NEW QUEEN Of YOUTUBE - Channel Trailer").

These are all contained on the disc that Lara wanted Simon to watch from **YRP COLLECTION - AVAILABLE NOW (Lara's Version)**. It is also the second video that showcases gameplay of the **"THE GUIDE TO BEING YOUNG, RICH & POWERFUL"** game.

## Visual Transcription

The video starts off with a heavily distorted view of the DVD menu showing the vlogs but right up against the screen & the Hacker selects Vlog 4 and it starts.

It is the continuation of where "thegame1.mp4" left off with Lara at the **"THE GUIDE TO BEING YOUNG, RICH & POWERFUL"** menu screen from the game. As she presses continue, the vlog prologue from "RICH GIRL lives on £10 FOR A DAY (failed)" starts with the same pitched down/slowed down music as the last video. Lara reads this out as it zooms in and glitches. Previous videos did not have the same zoom-ins that this video has which suggests that the Hacker may have not uploaded it & there is also not a .mp4 at the end of the video title. Once this prologue finishes, there is a return to the game. Sophie speaks the beginning dialogue of the **RICH GIRL lives on "£10 FOR A DAY (failed)** in the same location as the video. Once again, some dialogue is cut with Sophie saying that she's "got no eyes".

As the in-game Sophie and Ben walk away, they pause & ask the question to Lara of "**Do you think I will spend it all?**". Lara thinking that it wasn't listening in, looks for a button to click to say "Yes" or "No". She can't find any and Sophie in-game asks Lara to answer her question. Lara pauses & keeps trying to look for a button before Sophie says "**Lara. YES or NO.**" Lara pauses & stutters whilst the video zooms in on the "**YES & NO**" choices and Lara says "YES" & the game continues as if it heard her. Lara gets visibly and audibly distraught as the game continues as the normal video would. There are zoom-ins of the characters on-screen and Lara as this happens.

It transfers over to when Plum and Sophie are in the car together headed for the merch shoot with audio of the distorted music & a rainy car ride playing in the background. The normal dialogue continues until Sophie mentions how Lara's colour would be black. This causes Lara to get even more distraught as it cuts to the "model shoot" room.

The game shows a white box with an 8-bit Edward dead in his own blood in the middle of the room and the photographer who is there in the original, taking pictures. The in-game Sophie asks Lara whether they should make do with this one. She replies "YES" & the game continues with the normal dialogue of the video. Lara is slowly getting more distraught as the game continues. Sophie then asks Lara "**who are you?**". Lara replies that she is Lara and the game continues further with the normal video dialogue. Lara's voice starts to break in fear and she clutches her chest with her left hand. As the sprite of Sophie moves in front of Edward, there is an audible camera snapping noise as it zooms into Edward on every snap. Sophie then asks about where Lara is. Lara replies that she is at home, starting to tear up as she says it. Sophie then asks about where home is and Lara is lost for words due to the fear and the game throws up some dialogue with blanks about how something breeds success and success is power and how and takes a spiritual approach to everything in life. Lara is heavily breathing at this time & then the in-game Sophie asks whether Lara does the same. Lara, who is now in tears, replies not everything and Sophie asks whether she will and Lara quietly says "okay".

There is a visual switch to the table from the £10 video that is where Sophie finds out that she failed the £10 challenge & replies "Oops" very sarcastically. There are three frames of a bloody Sophie flashed on the frame three times as the sprite of Lara appears behind the bushes, that Ben and Sophie are next to. Sophie then says about how Lara was right, there are visible tears in Lara's eyes before the scene switches again.

It switches to a distorted phone video in the same format that Ben recorded in as Sophie found out she failed in the original video. It is Sophie with distorted visuals & audio, saying to Lara that she was super annoyed that she failed the challenge and that Lara was going to do it again. There is a look of complete terror on Lara's face as she watches this. There is a scene change once again.

It switches to a layout of when Sophie and Plum went into the private jet in the original video. One can see the sprites of Sophie and Plum walk into the plane whilst there is a noise of a jet engine in the background. Lara is audibly breathing heavily & visibly has tears rolling down her face. Her sprite is in the black abyss just to the left moving up and down. There is another scene change once the sprites of Sophie and Plum enter the plane.

It is a completely black room whilst the sprites of Plum and Lara (sprite is switching back and forth between Sophie and Lara until it completely stops to Sophie's) are moving up to a chair with a red skull on the top of it. There is a line from a character of Leon who is off-screen that says "B-roll.". This can only be presumed to be Leon Lush, one of the YouTubers who responded to the original Channel Trailer video. Just before the scene switches, we see it cut back to the camera view of Lara with tears in her eyes & a red light on her face.

It switches back to the scenery of the private jet that can be seen in the previous video in which Sophie describes that they are going back to Europe to get more shots. The sprites of Sophie and Plum are all moving all over the place & then the scene changes again while Lara's sprite remains static in her place.

It cuts to a layout of a swimming pool with Plum's sprite lying lifeless in the middle of it, at the bottom as Sophie laughs & splashes water towards it. After Lara reads that out, the viewer count jumps from 6 to 7 and Sophie asks whether Lara likes this place. The video switches between Lara and the game with a loud tick noise, zooming in on each. The ticking noise continues as Sophie asks Lara to speak up and if she's not bored of waiting for her daddy to come home. This sets off Lara and makes her fully burst into tears. Sophie then says for Lara not to be scared because "Positivity...breeds." and this, of course, scares Lara further & she shakes her head in fear. Sophie then asks Lara again, "**Who are you?**" and Lara doesn't say a word & still shakes her head in fear.

There is a glitch and it changes to a completely black screen with Lara on the phone to the same friend in "lara2.mp4" that says for her to send it to him, whilst she sobs.

After this, a message appears on the screen saying "i can see you too" & the video ends.

## Video Description

Nothing is in the video description in this particular video with this being the running theme since **YRP COLLECTION - AVAILABLE NOW (Lara's Version)** aka the 10th episode.

## Trivia

* Some of the video's events in the game are from **RICH GIRL lives on "£10 FOR A DAY (failed)** with dialogue repeats that have been significantly changed.
	+ This also happens with **thegame1.mp4** in which events & dialogue is repeated from **THE GUIDE to being YOUNG, RICH & POWERFUL (Sophie's version)** & are significantly changed.
* A loud sound like something falling can be heard at 3:20 whilst Lara is playing the game in her room, home alone. No one is sure if it is anything significant yet.
* The "i can see you too" at the end of the video could be referring the hashtag the Hacker commonly used in the tweets from the *i am sophie* Twitter account.
