( look, sometimes you've lived a Life, sometimes you've made Mistakes, he knows how that goes. talk to him about dead spirits sometime, it's wild. )

Count it up in numbers: that's two instances of the same phrase. The first time, no context. The second, those dark places and the wall with the painted words. As for what was crawling around... that's the thing, isn't it? All our puppet doubles went missing by the end of the month, or at least I assume so, since that's when mine escaped. Those had to be made somewhere too. What if the thing we saw there was an earlier prototype? One not fit for release to the public. Not good enough at mimicking a living person. A sort of incomplete puppet, if you will.

Peering in and seeing... nothing here either. No one's moving around downstairs that I can see, no lights on. All appearances are a sound night's slumber, and these neighbours have a child who wouldn't have slept through that, I don't think.
