[ When Joel's face appears on the screen, he's not screaming. He's not stalking the room in rage or setting the library on fire.

He is calm. Eerily so. He glares unblinking into the camera, brow furrowed, silent just long enough to become unsettling.

He has the look of a man who hasn't slept in the last twenty-four hours. ]

I know it's probably the mansion what took Ellie. That more'n likely, none of you had anything to do with it.

If I find out otherwise, I will kill whoever's responsible.

[Clementine only just met Ellie, but from talking to Joel and her, she figured out pretty fast they were from the same world, and now it seems like they're really close too. She understands the fear in- Well, she's heard enough about their worlds to know why it's scary for her to go back. She's worried, and she only just met her. They come from worlds far more terrifying than Wonderland is.

She can only imagine how Joel feels.]

If her stuff's still there, she'll be back in a week cause this place sent her back. If it's not, there's still a chance she'll be back, but it's slimmer.

I'm sorry.

[shivving]

Yeah, that's what people're sayin'.

Nothin's been touched.

[ Which means there's nothing to do but wait.

He hates it. ]

[shorthair]

It means she should be back in a week.

Wish there was something you could actually do, but there's not. Wonderland says when we come and go. It's bullshit.

[shivving]

You're goddamn right about that.

[ This isn't the library, they can curse as much as they want. ]
