Who showed the police the video?

Daniel

Think it was James.

Least it proves we didn’t touch him. Police said there’s not a lot they can do.

Daniel

Has it ever lasted this long?

No. But we’ve never been over 90 seconds before Mia, so… How is he?

Every time he comes to, he tries to kill himself.

They wanna keep him.

What?

The guy who gave Duckett the hand said that if you die while they’re in you, they have you forever. Have any of you guys… still been seeing stuff?

What the **** you mean, “seeing stuff”?

Mia

I saw my mum at the hospital.

And another one attacked Daniel at my house.

Did you see something?

Daniel

Uh… not exactly.

What’s that supposed to mean, Daniel?

Daniel

I woke up and Mia was, I don't know, sucking my feet.

What the ****?

Mia

Jade.

What do you mean, “woke up with Mia”? What do you mean, “sucking your feet”?

Mia

It wasn’t me. I couldn’t go home.

None of us have been seeing shit. We all did it. We were all there. Why would you see your mum? You didn’t even let her in.

Wait, didn’t Duckett say they could imitate people?

Mia

Wait, who’s Duckett?

I got the hand off him. He, uh… I met him twice at some parties and… yeah, we did the hand shit, I asked if I could borrow it and he said I could keep it. He said he was seeing them without it.

And then he went full skitz. Stabbed his brother, then killed himself.

Mia

Jade! Jade, just wait! Jade!

You shouldn’t have let him do it, Mia!

Mia

We all decided it’d be OK.

We didn’t decide anything.

Mia

We did. We all said…

We didn’t say shit, Mia. That was you. You let it go for two **** minutes.

You sleep with my boyfriend. What the ****’s wrong with you?

Daniel

Jade, it wasn’t like that.

Of course you take her side.

Mia

Jesus…

I wish that you didn’t force yourself into my family, Mia.

Mia

OK. Um… What if I use the hand to speak to him?

No.

Mia

What?

He’s not dead, Mi.

Mia

But what if his spirit is disconnected from his body? I thought these spirits were in limbo. Maybe that’s where Riley is.

Might not be him.

Mia

What if it is?

What if it isn’t?

Daniel

This is a bad idea, Mia.

Mia. Mia, don’t.

Mia

Riley, talk to me.

Daniel

Hey. Hey, hey, hey. You OK?

Mia

No! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!

Daniel

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Daniel

It’s just us.

: It’s just me and Daniel. What happened?

Mia
[sobbing]

I saw him. They’re hurting him, Jade. They’re not gonna stop. They’re never gonna stop.
