[Setting: A dark room. A bright photography light is shining towards the viewer. A man is standing by a computer stirring a cup of coffee.]

Jefferson: Before we begin there are a few things I need to make sure you understand. You see, no one can change what happened last year. Life... life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. You have to accept this in order to move forward.

[Jefferson sits down on the black leather couch opposite from the viewer.]

Jefferson: But there is freedom in this revelation. Everything you do, every decision you make from now on, will open doors to the future. I want you to remember this. I want you to remember this as you play your game.

Jefferson: Every single choice will affect your fate and the fate of those around you.

[Jefferson stands up and and moves closer to the viewer.]

Jefferson: So. You have committed to commence with this 'game.' This is significant. And I want to help you see it through.

[Jefferson smiles.]

Jefferson: For old times sake.

[He pauses.]

Jefferson: Sometimes... Sometimes these things can be a little scary... even terrifying... but I am here to make sure that no matter how upsetting things may get, you will always find a way to work through it. Hmm.

Jefferson: Alright. We will start with a simple exercise.

[Jefferson slides a card onto the trolley in front of the viewer.]

Jefferson: Could you please pick up the card. And I want you to look at the picture on the other side and tell me what you feel about it. It is essential that you answer honestly in order to get the most out of this experience.

[The viewer turns the card over and sees a painting of a dying fireplace in an empty, dark room with black and white photographs laid out on a table and a couple couches.]

Jefferson: So... how did that picture make you feel? Remember: be honest.

[I FEEL UNEASY]

Jefferson: Okay... Honesty is good. But what do you think it is that... makes you feel... uneasy?

[THE DARK ROOM]

Jefferson: I see... I see...

Jefferson: Now why would that be, hmm...? Let's say the dark room were not there... Let's say it was bright. Would you feel comfortable staying there on your own for a period of time? Say a week, for example?

[NO I WOULDN'T]

Jefferson: Oh no? And why not?

[I'D BE LONELY]

Jefferson: Ah, of course. There is a fine line between the peacefulness of solitude and the loneliness of isolation. Perhaps this is something we can explore in future. Hm? Cos I'm afraid we're outta time. For now. Until our next session, kid.

Jefferson: And until then try to surround yourself with friends... in a place that makes you feel... safe.

[Jefferson stands up taking his mug with him, humming the tune to the song "Kids Will Be Skeletons". He stares blankly at the black computer screen.]
