Ep 1: Old Secrets

Old Secrets
The protagonist blinks as she wakes up in a neat well-lit room.
She rubs her temples, trying to remember how she ended up there.
???
???
What happened?
???
???
Where am I?
???
???
How did I get here?
She looks around the room
At the family photos on the wall.
In the photos
There’s a smiling family—
Victor
Olivia,
Luke,
And Lila—
Her included,
But she doesn’t recognize them.
Everything looks too perfect.
???
???
Is this my room?
She gets out of bed and stumbles toward the door.
Before she can reach the handle
The door swings open,
And Olivia enters.
Olivia
Olivia
(cheerfully) Good morning
Olivia
Olivia
Sweetie!

Still unsure about everything.

They seem to give her weirdly rehearsed answers.

Lila is humming a tune looking uncomfortably cheerful.
Lila
Lila
I love it when you ask questions.
Lila
Lila
You never remember anything, do you?
