William Clarke/Dialogue

Overview **Dialogue** Gallery

## Philosophical conversation with Lila

*William:* "So I’ve been meaning to ask you.. When I’m not, like, visually imposing you, where do you go?"

*Lila:* "Haha... Well, nowhere really. I just stop, you know, being."

*William:* "Oh. Must be really scary."

*Lila:* "Ha hah. Not really. You do it all the time too, Will. When you lose consciousness or when you sleep without dreams."

*William:* "So not existing is like being asleep?"

*Lila:* "It’s not really "like" anything, as there isn’t someone for whom it’s "like something." "Not being" doesn’t really happen to anybody per se."

*William:* "Well, you just said it happens to *me* sometimes."

*Lila:* "It’s very bold of you to assume that some *you* actually exists."

*William:* "... Hehe... But Lila, you aren’t making any sense right now. *I am* here. *I’m* talking to you."

*Lila:* "Is that so? And how would you describe that "I"."

*William:* "Umm, I.. I don’t know, like. Like I’m young and maybe overanalyzing, and.. And I really like lemon soda, and I broke my knee when I was in kindergarten."

*Lila:* "So you are your personality and your memories? Is that what you’re trying to say?"

*William:* "Yeah.."

Break. Conversation continues upon entering next room.

*Lila:* "You see, Will, there’s a problem with what you just said."

*William:* "Oh yeah?"

*Lila:* "Yes. Let’s pretend for a moment you’re right and *you* really are your personality, memories and so on. ...But isn’t the one listening to me right now - also you?"

*William:* "Huh? Sure."

*Lila:* "And the one seeing me is you. And the one feeling all the different things is you. Let’s call this *you* the perceiver."

*William:* "Uh-huh."

*Lila:* "We like to imagine the perceiver as a pupil of an eye. The perceiver may cast his gaze upon anything - colors or sounds, touch or feelings. But how do you imagine it looking at itself directly?"

*William:* "A mirror?"

*Lila:* "Oh wouldn’t trust the mirror, my dear William. The ghosts on the other side may only look like us."

*William:* "So, alright, in that sense it really can’t. The pupil can never see itself. So what?

*Lila:* "...It means that whatever the pupil can perceive is not it. You can analyze your memories and your personality, yet the real perceiver always stays in the shadows. One of his human names is the Prince, although he doesn’t really *have* a name, of course."

Break. Conversation continues upon entering next room.

*Lila:* "In that sense, there isn’t really a difference between you and other people, Will."

*William:* "Huh? What do you mean?"

*Lila:* "For you - where do other people exist? I mean, their minds, memories and so on?"

*William:* "In their heads?"

*Lila:* "Wrong. You have no ability to see what’s inside someone’s head. To you people are a fictitious creation - a number of expectations generated from their actions. A phantom existing exclusively in your head."

*William:* "..."

*Lila:* "And the funny thing is - your own personality is too."

*William:* "What? I’m real, Lila. Even if other people may be imagined by me, my own character is..."

*Lila:* "What’s the definition of imaginary?"

*William:* "...Something that exists just in my mind?"

*Lila:* "And where does your personality reside?"

*William:* "... I..."

*Lila:* "It’s alright, my sweet William. You, your memories, your mind - these are only temporary shards of colored glass. The Visioner, the Perceiver, the Prince may only look through them and imagine for a moment that he *is* these shards. He never truly becomes them and it’s surprising, how quickly he may look away from one to another. Remember, Will. The moment he looks at another one of them - he might think he’s someone different."

End of dialogue.

## The Calamity Part 1

*William:* "... ... Please, don't go closer. Stay in the corner there, p-please ... ..? They are all dead, aren't they? The newsletter said so. Even F-father Lawrence... W-W ... And I have to say it now. Lila, I won't kill any more animals for you. I.. That dog was ... Lila. Why did you tell me to stay home that day? ... I'm sorry, I - I can't do this anymore. You have to leave. I don't know where. You must be just a piece of me, you are not more than I am. So why can't you just leave? PLEASE"

Lila floats onscreen.

*Lila:* "Please, stop with this nonsense, Will. You know, I can't leave you. But something has to change.. Don't worry too much about it. It's important to keep a clear mind. It will be just like a swap of lenses in a caleidoscope. Or reels in a movie projector~ Don't run from it, just let me~"

*William:* "... N-no..! Don't touch me!

End of dialogue.

## The Calamity Part 2

You acquired The other reel

William walks to the pit. Lila appears in the room.

*Lila:* "It's useless now, Will. Y-you. You think you've got the upper hand?"

*William:* "..."

*Lila:* "You are just delaying the inevitable. It's no..."

End of dialogue. William throws the reel into the pit.

## Investigating the Burned Apartment

*William:* "Today is November 16. My name is William and I have come to investigate a recent fire That happened here, in an apartment complex nearby."

William approaches a police officer stationed outside the building.

*Police Officer:* "Excuse me, do you live here? We can't let in any non-tenants due to the investigation"

### "Yes, I do"

**Neutral/Smile/Angry**

*This sounded genuine*
"I live on the 3rd floor, apartment 303"
*Police Officer:* "Alright, got you.. It's strange though, I don't think I remember seeing you before.. Wait, let me check the list I have"
*Police Radio: "Pshhh... Immediately... Pshh.."*
*Police Officer:* "..!"
*Police Radio: "No... PShh.. Old lady.. Over"*
*Police Officer:* "Oh well, I have to go look at this. Please proceed to your room, sir"
Police officer leaves. William can now access the apartment. He enters the main room.
*William:* "I used to call this place my second home. What happened here? Now it smells like dust and ashes."
End of dialogue.

**Sad/Disgust/Surprise/Scared**

*Police Officer:* "Oh yes? Which apartment is it then? Oh wait, I have a list of tenants right here... ... What is your name?"
"Hayward... Will Hayward.."
*Police Officer:* "Let me see... I don't see anyone by that name here. What, you want to sneak in to see a friend or something? Sorry, not happening, kid."
End of dialogue. William cannot access the apartment.

## Phone Call with Father Lawrence

*Father Lawrence?:* "Who.. Who is it? ... I must have dreamed it..."

*William:* "Father L-Lawrence? Is that you?"

*Father Lawrence?:* "Lawrence... Lawrence... This was what they called the last vessel, wasn't it? William... Is that you, William?"

*William:* "Y-yes, yes it's me! Father Lawrence, wh-where are you? What happened? I thought you died in that fire.. Where are you?"

*Father Lawrence?:* "I'm at a strange, strange place, my dear William. But we deserve this. I should have never tricked you all. My egoism has lead to their death and to your consequent suffering. ... A turn of the wheel."

*William:* "What do you mean, Father Lawrence?"

*Father Lawrence?:* "She mustn't continue what I started. I thought the Empress was the one to.. uh.. cease her, but Lila seems to be way too clever to fall victim to such tricks. There's another.. way.. ...Ryibkin"

*William:* "This was the name of your colleague, right?"

*Father Lawrence?:* "Yes... I was too foolish and power-hungry, I suppose. But now it's all in vain. You are the only one I wouldn't want to suffer from it. So here is the code you seek. It's from the desktop computer I used. You will find all the information there."

*William:* "Hey, c'mon now. Everybody's like that sometimes. Any reason you drank so much tonight?"

*Martha Jennings:* "It's... Uh.. That freaking guy, you know, the one who's..."

*She tells you a very confusing, yet relatable story. In conclusion - the guy she's talking about sucks ass*

### "This guy sucks ass."

**Neutral/Scared**

*This looked weird. Martha seems to be too drunk to notice. You wish to support this girl at least a little bit. You hope your face gets the message across*
*Martha Jennings:* "Ugh, it's.. very nice of you to listen. This will all be so embarrassing tomorrow, haha"
*William:* "Oh well, don't worry about it. You sure you don't need anything?"

End of dialogue.

**Angry/Disgust**

*You feel oddly moved by this half-discernable story. Maybe it's because you've been in the same situation. Or maybe you are just a bit high from so much social interaction in one evening*
*Martha Jennings:* "Y-yeah.. You get me, Will. I wish he would too.. ...Heyy.. You wanna, uhh.. y.."
*She makes sounds that usually precede vomiting. You took the poor girl to bathroom [sic] You probably need to tell Matt she's there*

## Comforting Martha

*Ellie Cooper:* "There you go. Better?"

*Martha Jennings:* "Y-yeah.. Thanks, you guys"

*Michael Graves:* "And what we talked about earlier - Look, Danny's my friend, But I'm not gonna lie - he can be a kind of an asshole sometimes. Don't even think of blaming yourself, alright? ... It's not because there's something wrong with you. Danny's just been through a pretty fucked up relationship himself"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "That doesn't excuse him, does it, though?"

*Michael Graves:* "Hmph. I'm just telling you why he did it, alright? I think I already said that he acted like an asshole"

*This sounded natural*
*Michael Graves:* "Sup, man. We haven't met before, have we?"

*This felt awkward*
*Michael Graves:* "Uh, hey ... You ok?"
*William:* "Um, yeah. I'm fine"
*Martha Jennings:* "Will's just taken me to the bathroom ... When I felt bad, you know"
*Michael Graves:* "Oh. That's cool. Thanks for that man ..."

**Angry/Disgust**

*You looked hostile for some reason*
*Michael Graves:* "... Something wrong, bud?"
*Martha Jennings:* "He's just not very good with showing emotions"
*Michael Graves:* "Oh.. Alright"
*He still looks a bit suspicious*
*Ellie Cooper:* "Oh, it's not big deal, Will. Everybody's like that sometimes, right, Big Graves?"
*Michael Graves:* "Um. Yeah, I guess ... Sorry, man, I'll just have to get used to that"
*William:* "It's alright"

*There's an awkward silence*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Well, if everything's fine with Martha, I'll go get some air"

*Michael Graves:* "Hey, what? We just came here, come on"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "... I'll see you all later"

*You feel it's time for you to leave*

## In the Hallway

*She's looking at a painting on the wall. There's a sun-drenched cafe with huge, seemingly glassless windows*

Michael enters the hallway.

*Michael Graves:* "Hey Tanya, what ab... Oh. Sorry, am I interrupting something?"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Michael, please.."

*Michael Graves:* "What? What is up with you today? ... I don't think I've done anything to deserve that, have I?"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "..."

*Michael Graves:* "I see how it is. So you'd rather hang out with some weird dude you just met, huh? Instead of at least talking to your boyfriend? I'm just worried about about you, alright? [sic] Ugh"

*He leaves...*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "... Don't be mad at him. He actually cares about me, you know. That's the worst part."

*William:* "I'm not mad. I get it, I guess"

*Tanya seems very tired*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "That's a nice picture there, isn't it? It's Hopper, right? The Cafe, or something. Do you like it?"

*William:* "Yeah, it has a certain...feeling to it. Like, incredible lonelieness, but cozy at the same time. Almost like you've been there before"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Yes, yes! That's what I was getting. ... Listen, um, Will, I think I'll go downstairs and get myself a drink now. Then, how about we go for a walk? I really need to cool down right now."

*William:* "Sounds good to me"

End of dialogue. Tanya leaves.

## On a Walk with William

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Heh, I think I drank a bit more than usual there. Finally some fresh air.. This party was getting a bit intense, wasn’t it?"

*William:* "Yeah.. To be honest, I’d never expect you to be here"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Oh yeah, why not? Because I look like a tight ass straight-A student?"

*William:* "... Yeah, kinda"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Hahah, well, there’s a lot about me that people don’t see."

*William:* "Ooh, mysterious"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Hehe. What about you? You don’t seem to be very talkative when you come to school. And you don’t come often"

*William:* "I.. don’t believe in education"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Huh? Really?"

*William:* "...No, I mean, I just have to tackle a lot of shit on my own. Like, you know, I live alone. So I gotta do stuff like working, doing chores, all that"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Sounds tough. Where are your parents?"

*William:* "Dad ran away when I was little. Mom died 3 years ago."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "I’m - I’m sorry to hear that"

*William:* "... It’s ok. No use getting all emotional about it now ... I had a pretty nice childhood, just me and her, you know. I think I’m finally getting something good in my life. But yeah, it gets tough sometimes."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Sorry I started talking about all this.."

*William:* "It’s ok. What about you?"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "You mean, my upbringing? Well, nothing special, I guess. I’ve had a nice childhood, two sisters, private school and so on."

*William:* "Hehe, were you a talented kid even back then?"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Yeah, haha. It’s funny, my parents used to call me a prodigy. It kinda sucked though"

*William:* "How’s that?"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "It’s hard to explain. Everyone around seems to expect great things from you. Like, all of the time. And when you fail it’s like the end of the world, because it’s as if you betrayed their faith in you?.. I know it sounds dumb, but it feels terrible, honestly."

*William:* "This makes a lot of sense"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "I don’t know. I still kinda feel like a failure."

*William:* "Why? You’re literally one of the best students at school."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "I don’t know. It’s like, even when I do something right - Win an award or something - I just get anxious that the next thing will fail. And this never seems to end..."

*William:* "..."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Phew! Sorry for all that. ... Honestly, I’d kill for a cig right now"

### "A smoker, huh?"

**Neutral/Smile**

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Uh-huh. Makes dealing with stress easier. Well, I was quitting anyway. Mike hates smokers."

**Sad/Angry/Disgust**

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Hehe, don’t like smokers? Mike too... I don’t know, tobacco just helps me through with shit ... I am trying to quit though. Mike doesn’t like smokers."

**Surprise/Scared**

*Tanya Kennedy:* "What, you surprised? How else do you think I manage to deal with being a straight-A student? ... Well, I was quitting anyway. Mike hates smokers."

*William:* "..."

### "That's kinda manipulative, no?"

Player can move face, but it has no affect on dialogue.

*Tanya Kennedy:* "..."

*Her expression suddenly turns bitter*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Don’t think I’m not noticing what you’re trying to do. Mike’s an awesome guy and I love him, alright?"

*William:* "..."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "You have no right to stick your nose into other people’s lives, You don’t know anything, alright? And, you know ... H-How about you fix your own shit first? Like your st- stupid face expressions and how you act like a complete dunce when there’s people around? ..."

*William:* "... I’m sorry..."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "No ... I’m sorry ... ... I’m a monster, aren’t I Will? ... Come on, tell me, you think I’m a disgusting human being"

*William:* "I don’t think you’re disgusting. I just don’t understand you"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "... Makes sense. I can’t understand myself either sometimes. I... It’s hard"

*William:* "Yeah. Well. Your friends are there to help you"

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Well. They don’t really know me ... Even Martha doesn’t"

*William:* "What about Mike?"

*She laughs*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "are you joking, Will? Jeez, of course not."

### "I think, I'd like to know you"

**Neutral/Smile/Sad/Disgust/Surprise/Scared**

*She laughs again*
*Tanya Kennedy:* "... Trust me, you don’t. You really don’t ... ... I don’t deserve all that anyway. You’re just wasting your time trying to be my friend, Will. I really don’t deserve all that. My friends are too sweet... I thought Graves was perfect for someone like me. It’s a shame he turned out to be such a wonderful guy."
*William:* "... Can I say something? I hope you won’t be offended, but, really, the world is not revolving around you, Tanya. The way you beat yourself up is not going to help anybody. I... Your friends may not be able to understand what you feel, I know I don’t understand. But we are all ready to be by your side no matter what’s happening behind the mask you seem to wear."

**Angry**

*You said this with surprising force. You both stay silent for a moment*
*Tanya Kennedy:* "I - I don’t know exactly what I’m feeling now ... Are you sure?"
*William:* "Y-yeah"
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Trust me, I really don’t deserve all that. I’m really not the person you think I am"
*William:* "Everybody deserves friends. Whatever you might think."
*Tanya Kennedy:* "... I don’t know, Will. ... I’m afraid ... I’m afraid you’ll just leave if you see how I really am. Will you stay?"
*William:* "..."
*You feel it’s best to be genuine now*
*William:* "I can’t know that. But I’d want to try, regardless of how scary it is. ..."
*Something changed in Tanya’s face*

*Tanya Kennedy:* "..."

*Her voice cracked*

*William:* "I.."

*Tanya Kennedy:* "We’re back, Will"

Tanya and William are now in Matt's backyard.

*She sits on a bench. Something feels different about her, now that you’ve talked. It’s a nice feeling*

**If player does not have the cigarette from Mandy and Jay**

*Tanya Kennedy:* "Damn, I wish I had that cig now ..."
*William:* "Maybe it’s for the better"
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Yeah, at least I won’t feel guilty. You know, because of Mike"
*William:* "..."
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Ugh. ... Don’t look at me like that. I know, it’s stupid, alright? ..."

**If player has the cigarette from Mandy and Jay**

*William:* "Still want a smoke?"
*Tanya Kennedy:* "..."
*William:* "Here."
*You gave her the cigarette*
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Thanks. Heh, Mike would be pissed if he saw me right now. If he saw us.."
*William:* "Yeah."
*Tanya Kennedy:* "You know, it may sound strange, but I feel like I’ve seen you too. Like - Like in a dream or something ... Have you ever been to the Sunshine Cafe, Will?"
*William:* "Is that the one down the avenue?""
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Yeah. It’s a cozy place. Huge windows and a lot of sun. Just like that picture we saw."
*For a moment there’s a funny feeling inside you*
*William:* "No.. No, I have never been there"
*Tanya Kennedy:* "Oh well..."
*Something’s not right.*

*You both stay silent for a moment. There’s slow dance music playing inside*

*William:* "... Wanna dance?"

End of dialogue. William and Tanya begin dancing.

## Confrontation with the Stranger

*William:* "Wh-what? Where am I? Who are you?"

*Stranger:* **"SHE HAD HER FACE."**

*William:* "N-no, I– It couldn’t have been her, I’ve– I have never even.."

End of dialogue. Game cuts to main menu before William can finish his sentence.

## Bed Chat with Tanya

*Tanya:* "But this is so wrong, isn’t it?"

*William:* "I guess so, yeah."

*Tanya:* "Do you love me, Will?"

*William:* "Yeah. Yeah, I think I do."

*Tanya:* "What’s wrong?"

*William:* "I-I’m sorry, it just felt weird to say that. For some reason."

*Tanya:* "I mean, I– I get it. If I were you, I wouldn’t trust myself either."

*William:* "No-no-no, it’s not about that. …You just remind me of someone I knew."

*Tanya:* "Is that so? Honestly, I feel a bit offended. But after what I did to Mike, I don’t really deserve anything better, do I?"

*William:* "But aren’t you– Aren’t you Lila?

*Tanya:* "Huh? What was that you said?"

*William:* "Aren't you Lila?"

*Tanya:* "Wha..? If it’s a joke, I don’t get it. ...Who’s Lila? Some girl you like?"

*William:* "N-no. No, it’s… I don’t remember who that is. I don’t– I don’t remember. I DON’T REMEMBER."

*Tanya:* "Will? Will? Are you alright? Will?"

"... ...Yeah. Yeah, I’m alright. My face just doing its shenanigans again, I guess. Don’t worry dear."

End of dialogue. Note the lack of character header for the last line, indicating it is probably Lila speaking.
