Script

This article is a script for Episode 2: Rules of Life is Strange 2.

Prologue[]

Previously on Life is Strange is presented as a series of monochrome watercolors, with the heroes depicted as animals - the Diaz family as a wolf pack & Brody as a large bear. Each line of dialog is a new art piece, elements fading in as they are narrated.

Sean: Once upon a time... In a wild... wild world... there were two wolf brothers, living in their home lair with their papa wolf... They all lived happily together, but...

Sean: One day... hunters took their Dad away... Forever.

Sean: So now the brothers were alone... and they had to find a new home... They started a journey... through the great big forest.

Sean: The wolf brothers wandered for days and nights, learning how to live on their own... for the first time...

Sean: They slept in the backwoods among creepy creatures, and barely ate anything.

Sean: They eventually found a peaceful orchard, and were able to eat in peace... But they didn't know...

Sean: Hunters tried to tie them up... but the wolf brothers managed to escape, with the help of a friendly bear.

Sean: He showed them how to survive, and helped them find a warm camp for the night.

Sean: That's when the big brother discovered... that the little one... was not an ordinary wolf... but a superwolf!

Sean: That's how they found themselves even further, headed to the faraway land of their papa, where they hope... to find peace.

Young Apprentice[]

Introduction[]

"To our grandparents"

Dec 1st, 2016
Willamette National Forest, Oregon

The chapter opens up with the scenery of a winter forest. The track Winter Woods begins to play.
Mushroom emerges from the snow and barks. The camera follows her as she finds her way back to Sean and Daniel.

Sean: Try with this one.

Daniel: That one's too easy! Look!

Sean: Don't brag! It was too heavy for you a few days ago!

Daniel has his arm extended. He lifts the rock in front of them and it hovers in the air for a few moments before plummeting to the ground.

Daniel: Let's try to lift something else. Not too heavy though. I'm a little tired.

Sean nods and looks around for a target.

Optional targets

Sean: You could... try and lift Mushroom!

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Daniel: Are you kidding?! I don't want to hurt her...!

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Daniel: What?! Are you stupid? (accusing tone) You wanna hurt her?

Sean: Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. Let's leave the puppy out of this.

Sean: How about trying out that rock over there. Just one more time.

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Daniel: We already tried yesterday, and the day before! It's too far. I can't reach it...

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Daniel: Come on! You know it's too far! Stop trying to make fun of me.

Sean: Just... one more time.
Daniel tries for a moment before giving up.
Daniel: I'm so close! I can feel it!

Sean: Can you... throw this rock in the river?
Daniel: Oh, yeah! Just watch!
Daniel successfully drops the rock into the river.
Daniel: Splash!
Sean smiles.

Sean: Is this one too big?
Daniel: Yeah... It's just way too massive.

Sean walks over to the shooting range.

Sean: How about those cans? Can you fly them all together without dropping any?

Daniel: Sure! Look!

Daniel lifts the cans.

Sean: That's awesome, dude! You're getting way better at this.

Sean walks over to the large rock in the middle of the path.

Sean: How about that one?

Daniel: I can do it with the small rocks but not the big ones...

Sean: You can do this... Trust me... Just relax. Focus...

Sean puts his hands on Daniel's shoulders and stands behind him.

Daniel: I'll try...

Daniel focuses and successfully lifts the rock.

Daniel: Whoa...

Sean: Holy shit!

Daniel: I did it!

Sean: Like a boss! You're getting good at this!

Daniel walks over to Mushroom and bends down. She jumps up and down.

Daniel: You see that, Mushroom? That was the biggest rock ever!

Snowball Training[]

Sean: Come on dude, that's just the start... Let's try something else...

Sean bends down and makes a snowball.

Daniel: Cool! You're like Coach Aaron! You're my power coach! A snowball fight...?

Sean: Not yet... This is a new exercise, young apprentice... See if you can stop this in the air... Cool?

Daniel: Okay, but you better not hit me... Like that time you gave me a bruise! Serious!

Sean: You won't let me... Right?

Daniel: Try it...

Daniel is unsuccessful.
Daniel: Aw, that sucked... How about one more?
Sean bends down and makes another snowball. He can either continue to throw it properly, throw it at Daniel, or throw it at Mushroom (if he hasn't already).

(Sean continues to throw it properly)
(Sean continues to throw it properly)

Sean throws the snowball and Daniel successfully stops it in mid-air.
Daniel: Yes! Look! Look what I can do, Sean!
Sean: I knew that you could... I have taught you well... But you... You're a master student...

Daniel gets knocked back from the impact.
Daniel: Sean! You suck! I said don't hit me! Jerk...
Sean: Sorry, I thought you would stop it... Serious.
Sean bends down and makes another snowball. He can either continue to throw it at Daniel, throw it at Mushroom (if he hasn't already), or throw it properly.

(Sean tries to hit Daniel again)
(Sean tries to hit Daniel again)

Sean: Think fast!
Daniel: STOP!
Daniel successfully stops the snowball in mid-air, then hurls it back at Sean.
Sean: Whoa! Daniel.
Daniel: That's what you get... Happy?
Sean: Hell yeah I am! That was awesome! You did it, man...
Daniel: I did... So you better be nice to me...

The snowball almost hits Mushroom, but Daniel stops it. Mushroom squeals and runs away.
Daniel: Dude! You almost hit our dog! Learn how to aim!
Sean: I'm sorry, Shroom... But you did stop it, Daniel! You learn fast...
Daniel: Let's do it one more time. But near me. And not superhard...
Sean: It's just a snowball, Daniel...
Sean bends down and makes another snowball. He can either throw it at Daniel or throw it properly.

Daniel starts coughing and Sean walks over to him.

Sean: Hey, that still sounds nasty... You're not getting better...

Daniel: I told you, I'm fine... just... a little beat...

Sean puts his hand on Daniel's shoulder.

Sean: Well... You need to rest now. Superhero...

Daniel: Can we go back now?

Sean: Yeah. Let's just fill up the canteens before we head back. That cough has been going on for days, Daniel... I really don't like that.

Daniel: I told you. I'm fine. We've just... been outside for a while.

Exploring Around[]

Discussing Daniel's Success

Sean: You did awesome today Daniel. I'm really proud of you. We've been practicing for just a few weeks, but... your progress is... crazy.

Daniel: Thank you, Sean. I couldn't have done it without your help.

Daniel: That's because I rock!

They walk over to the dock and Daniel sits down. Sean grabs the canteens at the edge of the dock.

Sean: Here we go...

Daniel takes his canteen from Sean.

Daniel: The helitanker is over the wildfire zone. Get ready for water extraction, Ranger Diaz!

Sean, filling his canteen, looks up as Daniel begins to fill his canteen using his power.

Sean: Lazy Ranger... I told you not to bust out your power whenever...
Daniel: But Sean! The water's fucking cold!

Sean: Nice work, Daniel... Glad to see our training sessions are paying off...
Daniel: Thanks to you! Sooo glad I don't have to touch that water... It's too fucking cold...

Daniel: Uh... Oops? Sorry. I said "fucking..."

Sean: Yeah, dude. Watch it. Seriously.
Daniel: Okay...

Sean: It's fine out here. There's no one to hear you curse. Say whatever the fuck you want.
Daniel: Coooool...

Examining the Burrow

Mushroom runs over to a burrow and wags her tail, barking.

Daniel: What-- What did you find, Shroom? Awww, come on! Not again! We've gotta leave these poor bunnies alone!

Sean: Hey! It's been a while since we last saw that rabbit who lives in there.
Daniel: Yeah... I hope it wasn't eaten by a bear or... worse...
Sean: What's worse than a bear, enano?
Daniel: I don't know... Wolves?
Sean: Don't worry. We're the only wolves around.
Daniel: (laughing) Owoooooo!
Sean still has the option to prank Daniel with the burrow.

Sean: Look, Daniel! I think I saw that rabbit from the other day!
Sean bends down.
Sean: It's trying to get home!
Daniel bends down and examines the burrow.
Daniel: Oh! I wanna see the bunny!
Sean reaches his hand inside the burrow, then suddenly "panics".
Sean: Aaaaaaghhh! Fuck! My hand!

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 1))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 1))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 1))

Daniel: (panicked) Sean!
Sean pulls out his hand and laughs. Daniel sighs.
Sean: Oh dude, your face!
Daniel: Sean, you suck.
Daniel lightly hits Sean, and they stand up.
Sean: Come on, Daniel... I was just kidding around...

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 1))

Daniel is surprised, then frowns as he realizes it's a prank. Sean pulls out his hand and laughs.
Daniel: Yeah, right. I'm not stupid, Sean.
Daniel lightly hits Sean, and they stand up.
Sean: Man... You're becoming hard to trick... Where's my naive baby brother?

Daniel: (sighs) Moron...

Sean can no longer discuss the burrow with Daniel if he hasn't.

Daniel: Sean... the family that lived here... what do you think happened to them?

Sean: Maybe they're dead...
Daniel: But... there are children's toys! They can't be dead! Right?
Sean: I don't know, man. Maybe they live in Florida and only come here every ten years!

Sean: They... must have moved out. Maybe to another state...
Daniel: But... they left all their stuff behind?
Sean: I don't know, man. Maybe they live in Florida and only come here every ten years!

Daniel: No one leaves a big house like this one... unless they don't have a choice.

Sean: Maybe they got tired of these woods.

Daniel: I kinda like it here... It's way cooler than that crappy town, where the shelter was...

Daniel: Well, I'm glad they left. This is OUR lair now!

Daniel: I just... I miss my friends... and my room... Sometimes.

Sean: Yeah... Me too...

Finding the Deer

Mushroom runs back over to the river and Daniel follows her.

Daniel: Where are you going, pup? Wooow! Sean, look! Mushroom found a deer! So cool.

Daniel's Traps

Daniel: Ooo! Almost forgot to check our traps today!

Daniel checks the first trap.

Daniel: Awwww still no catch! Not cool!

Daniel checks the second trap.

Daniel: (sighs) Whatever...

Daniel checks the third trap.

Daniel: I have to try making better traps. I'm so tired of eating canned food. ^{[Note 1]}

Daniel: Holy SHIT! These traps suck... I'm so tired of eating canned food. ^{[Note 1]}

If Sean is nearby, Daniel turns to face him.

Daniel: Sean! What is wrong with my traps? I haven't caught anything!

Sean: Wildlife 1, Daniel 0!

Daniel: I guess...

Old Doghouse

Daniel: Hey! Maybe we could have another dog! So he could keep Mushroom company! That'd be so cool.

Sean: Nooo thanks. I don't need a third puppy right now.

Old Canoe

Daniel: Sean? Can we go for a canoe ride?

Sean: Are you mad, dude? The water's freezing cold. Plus these canoes are older than me...
Daniel: Yeah... They must be pretty lame then... I'm tired of all that snow...

Sean: Yeah, suuure. Like you ain't sick enough yet. What about a water fight after that?
Daniel: Winter's lame... This place must be cool in the summer... I'm tired of all that snow...

Daniel: I'm tired of all that snow...

Examining the Metal Box

Sean: Yo, Daniel! Come here!

Daniel: What's up?

Sean: Can you fly that box... Down from the tree?

Daniel: Duh! Watch me!

Daniel lifts the box from the tree and it falls to the ground. Sean inspects it.

Sean: Let's check this out.

Daniel: Yeah! What's inside?

Sean: Let's see... Uh... Cardboard caps? Badges?

Daniel: Is that... a Power Bear? But... he's wearing a different costume!

Sean: Maybe an old... design...

Daniel: Awesome! Can we keep it?

Sean: Sure. That is pretty old school-cool.

Daniel goes up to the Snowmen.

Daniel: Good afternoon, gentlemen! Anything to report today?

Daniel: (as the Snowmen) Nothing so far, my Lord. We're standing guard, keeping our three eyes open.

Daniel: Good! Ring the bell if you see anyone creeping around the house, and we'll send the hounds to track them down! Also... sorry for making you so ugly. But... you have to be veeeery frightening to keep the villains away!

Discussing the Snowmen

Sean: We really nailed it with this two-headed snow-ogre.

Daniel: Yeah. They're really badass! And Mushroom is not even afraid of them anymore! Right, puppy?

Play Fetch

Sean: Hey, enano! Shroom needs some exercise too, right?

Daniel: Yeah! Beware of the flying stick! Wanna fetch, Mushroom? Huh?

Daniel raises the stick into the air using his powers. Mushroom jumps up, trying to retrieve it.

Daniel: There ya go! Get it! Go, girl!! Yay! Good girl!

Conversations between Sean and Daniel

Daniel: It's so silent out here... No neighbors, no roads... It's like we're on another planet!

Sean: A new planet... that's exactly what we need...

...

Daniel: Are... you getting hungry?

Sean: Not really...

Daniel: Really? I'm getting hungry...

Sean: Again? You eat like a bear but you don't gain any weight...

Daniel: That's because I work it off!

Ship, Captain, Crew[]

Entering the House[]

Sean, Daniel, and Mushroom enter the house. Mushroom sits down on the mattress.

Daniel: Brrr... Cold!

Sean: Don't worry. We'll make a fire. We're pros now.

Daniel starts coughing.

Sean: Dude... That cough doesn't sound too good...

Daniel: Nah... I'm okay... Just cold.

Sean: You kicked ass today... Level up!

Sean writes Daniel's progress on a chalkboard lying against the wall.

Daniel: I did! That was so cool... It's getting easier every day.

Daniel uses his powers to lift up a plate.

Daniel: Oh no, Sean... This is a haunted house...

Sean: More like, "Uh oh, it's time to go over the rules." I told you about showing off.

Daniel: I was just...

Sean motions for Daniel to sit down.

Daniel: Whatever. Dude. I know the rules...

Daniel sits down on the mattress.

Sean: Let's find out... What's the first one?

Daniel: Mmmm... ah...

Sean: "Hide your power."

He sits down across from Daniel.

Sean: If you spin one plate in a diner, what happens?

Daniel: People will freak out...

Sean: And when people freak... What do they do?

Daniel: They call the cops.

Sean: Exactly. The second rule is...

Daniel: Don't - uh... Never talk about it!

Sean: Wow. Nice, Daniel. 'Cause that's usually the hardest rule for you...

Daniel: Shut up.

Sean: And the final rule?

Daniel: I know...

Sean: Come on... You can do it...

Daniel: Okay... Hmmm... Avoid danger?

Sean: "Run... from danger." This is the most important one. You know why?

Daniel: Uh... I don't know. I mean... With my power, I can help us.

Sean: Only as a... total last resort...
Daniel: How will I know that?
Sean: If there's any other way of helping, do that first.

Sean: No, it's dangerous. You have to find a different way...
Daniel: So... What's the point of having this power?
Sean: (sighs) We don't know yet...

Daniel: Maybe if I... Had used it before... Dad might still... be here...

Sean: Daniel, you didn't even know. That shit... was out of your control...
Daniel: But! Look what happened to the policeman! Maybe this power is a curse! Or... Something!
Sean: Hey... We have no clue what happened... And it's not your fault...

Sean: Daniel, it's my fault... I shouldn't have let you alone outside...
Daniel: But... I didn't help... I didn't do anything...
Sean: Because... You couldn't.

Daniel starts coughing. Sean sits next to him, and Mushroom puts her head on his leg.

Daniel: Don't worry, Mushroom, I'm okay... Good puppy!

Sean: She must be hungry... What about you?

Daniel: I'm always hungry...

Sean: (laughing) Then let's grub out... I'll make us some dinner.

They both stand up.

Daniel: (laughing) Yeah... Before she eats us!

Daniel's comments while he plays with his toys:

Daniel goes into the other room and plays with his toys.

Daniel: Mecha Robot, ready for takeoff... 3, 2, 1...

Daniel: Ooooo... The Space Scubba is hovering on a dead planet.

Daniel: What sadistic scheme do you have in mind today...?

Daniel: HQ, I'm flying over the city. No danger in sight. Copy?

Daniel: Taking pictures of alien species... then report to base.

Sean can optionally choose to interact with Mushroom and a few objects around the house.

Sean walks over to the mattress.
Sean: Ready for today's training, puppy? Sit.
Mushroom stands up and wags her tail.
Sean: Shroom, sit! Seriously, girl... Sit!
Daniel (off-screen): Mushroom? Sit, girl.
Mushroom sits.
Sean: Are you kidding me?
Daniel (off-screen): You just don't know how to talk to her!
Sean: (jokingly) I'll remember this... Traitor.

Sean: Hey, Shroom! You thirsty?
Sean pours some of the water from his canteen into Mushroom's bowl and she drinks it.
Sean: Good girl...

Pet Mushroom

Sean bends down and pets Mushroom while she's drinking.
Sean: So now you let me pet you, huh? Give-and-take, I get it...

Sean adds water to the container in the bathroom.
Sean: Hey! I put some clean water in the bathroom so you can wash a little.
Daniel: Mmmmm... okay!

Sean prepares the wood stove and reaches for his lighter but can't find it.

Sean (inner monologue): Shit! Where did I put my lighter?

He walks over to the room where Daniel is playing. He searches through his things on the wardrobe and takes his lighter.

Sean (inner monologue): Time to get warm.

If Sean looks at Daniel's lair:

Daniel's lair is made with a tarp, supported by ropes hung from the ceiling.
Sean (inner monologue): Nice fort, Daniel. All that Minecraft paid off.

Daniel's lair is made with the tent that Sean stole.
Sean (inner monologue): Thanks, Hank. Dickhead.

Sean walks over to the wood stove and uses his lighter.

Sean: Here we go...

Daniel comes back into the room and sits on the mattress.

Daniel: Hold on, Mushroom, we're gonna build a fire! Dang, I am starving...

Sean: Guess it's time to start cooking. Yum.

Daniel: Too bad I can't make a pizza fly to us... I could start Daniel's Delivery Service...

Daniel's comments:

Daniel: This Hawt Dawg Man issue is kinda weird...

Daniel: What?! It was published before you were even born, Sean!

Daniel: How you doing, Mushroom? You're the best puppy in the world! I'm just glad we found you...

Daniel: I'm bor-rrrred...

Daniel: Come on Sean, let's move on...

Daniel: Hey! I think I'm getting blisters on my feet...

Daniel: I can hear my stomach... "Feed me..."

Sean's thoughts:

Sean (inner monologue): We really lucked out stumbling into this house.

Sean (inner monologue): Next, Chef Diaz will prepare... the can.

Sean (inner monologue): This house is so cool, but... it doesn't help with Daniel's health.

Sean (inner monologue): I think I could get used to living like this... Quiet, free...

Sean (inner monologue): Can't believe how much Daniel's powers have improved over the last weeks.

Sean (inner monologue): I wonder how far it can go...

Sean can optionally discuss certain objects with Daniel.

Sean: He looks so serious on this picture...
Daniel: I still can't believe he's gone... I miss him so much it hurts, Sean.
Sean: I know, Daniel. It's okay to think about him... I do it too...
Daniel: Okay... Thanks, Sean.

Sean: Dude! You'll be moving... cars around in no time if you keep improving like that.
Daniel: You really think so?
Sean: Well... That'd be a bad idea, but... you sure are getting good at this.
Daniel: I wonder if there's anyone else like me...
Sean: Mmmmm... I think we'd know it by now.

Note: Sean can discuss the raccoon only before retrieving the pan from the bathroom.
Sean: Hey, look! Our buddy raccoon is back!
Daniel: I got my eyes on him! He stole Mushroom's ravioli yesterday!
Sean: Yeah... Next time, we'll call the forest cops! You whiskered thug!

Sean goes over to the cupboard.

Sean (inner monologue): (sarcastically) Mmmmm... Tough choice.

Sean chooses a can of food.

Sean (inner monologue): Better talk to Daniel after dinner.

Daniel: Hey? What are you cooking?

Sean: Oh, I'm sorry... here's your menu choices: ravioli... or ravioli.

Daniel: Okay, okay... (sighs) Never eating this again.

Daniel: This sucks... Why couldn't you find us better food...

Sean goes to the bathroom and picks up the pan.

Sean (inner monologue): Daniel needs to eat something after all that... psychic crap.

When Sean returns to the living room, Daniel is standing in front of the fire.

Daniel: It's warming up! Feels so good... I wish we had a big fireplace! Like in Seattle. Remember?

Sean: Course I remember... You always got sick on S'Mores... And ruined the toilet.

Daniel: Yeah... I miss that time...

Sean: I know...

Sean prepares the food and puts the pan on top of the stove. Daniel walks over to the chalkboard and examines his progress.

Daniel: Mushroom, did you see what I did out there? I'm getting better at controlling this thing. I'll never scare you again!

Daniel: Mushroom! Did you see how strong I'm getting? Soon, nobody will bother us anymore!

Go Outside and Draw

Sean can choose to go outside and draw. Mushroom will follow him.

Sean: Come on, girl, let's get back in!

(If Sean didn't refill Mushroom's bowl)

Daniel bends down and examines Mushroom's bowl.
Daniel: Awww, poor Shroom is out of water.

(If Sean refills the bowl now)
(If Sean refills the bowl now)

Daniel: Thanks, Sean.

Daniel examines the family photo on the fridge.

Daniel: Sean, do you think it's okay for us to be here?

Sean: Who cares? They abandoned the place. It's ours now.
Daniel: Yeah! You're right! Finders keepers!

Sean: Sure, I mean... we're like renters! Just gotta leave the place as we found it, and... it'll be fine.
Daniel: Yeah... makes sense! It'll even be cleaner than when we arrived!

Daniel: Whatever!

(If Sean refilled the bathroom container)

Daniel walks into the bathroom, and Mushroom follows him in.

(If Sean is in the bathroom)
(If Sean is not in the bathroom/After he leaves)
(If Sean is in the bathroom)

Daniel: Hey... I'm gonna wash, so... can you leave the bathroom?
Sean: You know I've seen your butt like... a thousand times, right?
Daniel: Come oooon!
Sean: Okay, okay! Mister grown-up.

(If Sean is not in the bathroom/After he leaves)

Daniel closes the bathroom door with his power.
Daniel: Come on! Sit down, girl! Good! Okay... Here we go... Aaaaahhh! COLD! Don't worry, Mushroom, I'm okay. It's just... still... haaard to wash with this. Brrrr... Okay, that's enough. Right, Mushroom?
Daniel opens the door with his power and leaves the bathroom with Mushroom.

After some time passes, Sean can serve dinner.

Sean: Okay, dinner's ready!

The screen fades to black.

Dinner Talk[]

It is dark outside. Sean and Daniel are sitting at the coffee table, eating dinner.

Daniel: Getting sick of ravioli...

Sean: (smiling) That was spaghetti a la Diaz... Didn't you taste the famous truffle sauce?
Daniel: Yep. Plus... I loved the garlic bread! And ice cream! Yum!
Sean nods as Daniel rubs his stomach. Mushroom whimpers.
Daniel: Ooooh... You want some too? Huh, Mushroom?

(Daniel ate toxic berries in "Roads")
(Daniel didn't eat toxic berries)
(Daniel ate toxic berries in "Roads")

Sean: Daniel. This is real food. You want to eat berries again?

(Daniel didn't eat toxic berries)

Sean: This is real food. It's better than nothing.

Daniel: I'm just tired of the same thing... Do you want it, Mushroom?

Using his power, Daniel puts the plate of ravioli onto the floor for Mushroom. She begins to eat it.

Sean: Daniel... Come on...
Daniel: I know... "Hide my powers..." But it's just you, and me, and puppy.
Sean: I don't want you to get in the habit...

Sean: Bon appetit, Mushroom!
Daniel: Man. She loves this stuff...

Daniel starts coughing and Sean gives him some water.

Daniel: Sorry... I'm cool.

Sean: Hold on... I need to show you something...

Sean takes the candle and stands up.

Daniel: Uh, okay...

Sean (inner monologue): Gotta show him the map. I think I left it with my books.

Sean goes to the other room and searches through his things.

Sean (inner monologue): Mmmm... Nothing here.

Sean: Daniel! What did you do with the map?

Daniel: Hmmm... What do you mean?

Sean: You know what I mean. Where is the map that was with my stuff?

Daniel: Ohhhh... this map? It's in my tent! Sorry, Sean...

Daniel: I don't know! I'm not keeping track of your things!

Sean starts to search Daniel's tent for the map, but Mushroom sits down in front of him. He tries to move her.

Sean: Okay, come on, doggie! Let's go, girl!

Sean: (smiling) After all I've done for you...? Really? Shroom! Okay... Mushroom!
Mushroom trots away.
Sean: Thank you. I get it, you're the boss.

Sean: Hey, man! Can you call your dog? I don't exist.
Daniel: Mushroom! Come here, girl!
Mushroom trots away.
Sean: What a great team.

Sean picks up the map.

Sean (inner monologue): Time to play "Dad Talk."

Daniel: Sean? There's someone at the door...

Sean: What the - When did he show up?

Daniel: I don't know, I just saw him now! Sean! I'm scared...

Sean: Don't worry, enano, it's... it's probably just someone lost. CAN WE HELP YOU? HELLO?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Sean walks closer to the door and realizes it's a prank.

Sean: Motherfu-- Daniel!

The blanket drops to the ground.

Daniel: (laughing) Got yooouuu!

Sean: Yeah, okay! Good job...
Daniel: (laughing again) You almost shit your pants!
Sean: Course I did, man!

Sean: Man! Are you out of your mind?!
Daniel: (laid-back tone) Awww, come on! Don't be such a pussy!
Sean: Don't you think your power can be put to a better use?

Daniel: (laughing again) You almost shit your pants!
Sean: Course I did, man!

Sean: Anyway...

Sean places the map on the table and sits next to Daniel.

Sean: Okay... I think... It's time for us to hit the road. You're not getting better. We're almost out of supplies...

Daniel: No. I'm okay.

Daniel starts coughing.

Daniel: It's just a cough...

Sean: Yeah, a bad cough that won't go away... Trust me, Daniel. You need some medicine. Look... Here...

He points to a place on the map.

Daniel: Beaver Creek? What's that?

Sean: That's where... Karen's parents... our grandparents live...

Daniel: Okay... So what?

Sean: So we can go there and... They'll probably help us...

Daniel: Why do you always force us to run, Sean? What if they... don't like me...?

Sean: They're family, right? Plus they owe us for what Karen... For what Mom did...
Daniel: Hmmm... You sure? It would be cool to spend Christmas with our grandparents.

Sean: Don't think that way... It's not like we have tons of options...
Daniel: Okay... I'm just scared they're gonna think I'm a... freak or something...

Sean: Man, they're gonna love you. Grandpa is super cool and... I'm sure you guys will be best buds!

Daniel: Well... Okay. But... Mushroom has to agree too. She's part of the team! What do you say, girl? (Mushroom "rolls her eyes", then "nods", and Daniel chuckles) Okay, when?

Sean: Tomorrow... The sooner, the better... We have a long road ahead.

Daniel: Mmmm... We should do something fun for our last night here... How about a game of dice? If I win... I get to draw on your backpack!

Sean: You know I'm gonna win and draw a dick on your bag, right?

Daniel: I don’t think so. Loser!

Daniel: I don’t think so. Pussy!

Ship, Captain, and Crew Game[]

Sean puts the candle next to their game of dice.

Daniel: Party time! Okay! Ready to lose, captain?

Sean: Watch your butt, matey.

Sean is allowed to stop playing the game at any moment:

Stop playing

Sean: Okay, I've had enough. I give up!
Daniel: What? For real?
Sean: Yup. You heard me.

(First game)
(Any next game)
(First game)

Go to "Sean: Yeah, okay..." in (Daniel wins).

(Any next game)

Skip to "Sean: It's bedtime...".

On his second or any next turn, if Sean succeeds at getting something, Daniel will cheat by rolling Sean's dice using his power. Sean will notice.

Sean: What the hell?

Sean can call Daniel out for cheating or allow the behavior to continue. If Sean doesn't reprimand Daniel during the first game, then it will be too late to set a moral example for him.

Call Daniel out

Sean: You kidding me? I can see the dice rolling, dude.

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Daniel: Of course it's rolling, you're throwing it! (giggles)
Sean: You're too obvious, man. No point in cheating if anyone can see it!
Daniel: Jeez, okay... Need more practice?

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Daniel: What did I do? You're just finding excuses...
Sean: Stop cheating, man! You gotta be better than this, especially now...
Daniel: Whatever...

Daniel stops cheating and Sean is allowed to repeat his attempt.

Conversations between Sean and Daniel

Daniel: I wonder what we'd have done if we didn't find these dice...

Sean: I don't know... Probably read all these books.

Daniel: Huh. Boring... You remember that time I beat Dad at chess?

Sean: You mean WE beat Dad.

Daniel: Yeah! You did help me distract him! I bet he would've liked this game!

Sean: Definitely. He was a great pirate, just like us...

Daniel: Captian Diaz, king of the seas!

...

Daniel: Do you think Grandma and Grandpa will have a console?

Sean: Mmmm, I don't think so, dude. Sorry...

Daniel: No biggie, I like playing dice and stuff too...

Sean: Whoah, Daniel the Big Nerd, getting sick of screens!

Daniel: No way! It's nice for a change, but I still want my Playbox...

Sean: Yeah, I bet...

Daniel: I hope Noah is keeping our Minecraft fortress alive, for when I come back.

Sean: I'm sure he is, pal... No way he'd give up on your super kingdom!

...

Daniel: Mushroom's growing up so fast!

Sean: Really? I don't see much difference.

Daniel: Well, she's still a tiny dog, but I can tell she's getting older, and smarter... You're a smart girl, right? She's so cute! I'll love her forever!

Sean and Daniel's default dialogues will differ depending on what they need to roll and how successful they are:

After Daniel's turn:
Sean: My turn now. Be ready to LOSE.
Sean: Come on, my turn.
Sean: Okay, let me throw now.

Sean: Here we go. Just need a six, a five, and a four.
Sean: I need a ship, give me a six!
Sean: Okay! Give me a six!
Sean: Come on, five!
Sean: I need a five. Just give me a give!
Sean: Now I just need a four to get a crew.
Sean: This is my last chance, don't fail me!
Sean: Can I get something better this time?
Sean: Cool! Give me the same.
Sean: All right. Got a full ship, I need to score big now.
Sean: All right, now's the time for the big numbers.

(Sean throws success)
(Sean throws average)
(Sean throws fail)
(Sean throws success)

Sean: Yes! Full ship!
Sean: Boom, full ship!
Sean: Okay, I'm ready to set sail!
Sean: This ship is mine!
Sean: Captain's ready to rule!
Sean: I have a crew now, here comes the loot!
Sean: More pirates, aye!
Sean: Oooooo!
Sean: Nice!
Sean: How are you gonna beat that?
Sean: Man, I'm killing it!
Sean: High score!
Sean: Yes! And he scores!
Sean: Great job, lubber...
Sean: Give me the loot!
Sean: Treasuring up!
Sean: Fill the holds!
Sean: Hey, pretty good loot.
Sean: Ooooh, nice! That's a full hold!

Sean: Ahoy, Captain!
Daniel: Ahoy!

Sean: Complete ship! You're going down, dude!
Daniel: (chuckles) We'll see...

Sean: Yes! Full ship and cargo! What you gonna do?
Daniel: Ugh! You just lucked out!

Sean: Good luck beating that, matey.
Daniel: Don't worry about that!

(Sean throws average)

Sean: Okay, got a ship. It's better than nothing...
Sean: Shit, no crew...
Sean: No use for a boat without a crew...
Sean: I just need a crew and we're good to go!
Sean: Not the best, but that'll do...
Sean: Here you go, cargo.
Sean: Loot!

Sean: Ahh... Not the best score, but I'll do better next time, you'll see.
Daniel: You wish!

(Sean throws fail)

Sean: Sheesh...
Sean: Yay... No full ship, no score...
Sean: That's it? Sad pirate.
Sean: Mmmm... empty hold...
Sean: Better than nothing...
Sean: I'm a sucky pirate...

Sean: Come on, I need a ship!
Daniel: (giggles) Too bad!

Sean: Still incomplete? Jeez...
Daniel: (smiling) Sounds like a no score...

Sean: Still no ship? Seriously...?
Daniel: Stuck in the harbor! Too bad...

Sean: Nothing? Are you kidding me?!
Daniel: (smiling) Doesn't smell good for you...

Sean: Shit, no score! Freaking random...
Daniel: (laughing) You're gonna lose!

Sean: (sarcastically) Awesome...
Daniel: You'll do better next time... or not!

After Sean's turn:
Sean: Your turn, lubber.
Sean: All right, your turn.
Sean: The dice are yours.

Daniel: Six, please, six!
Daniel: I need a captain... Come on!
Daniel: All right, I just need a four now...
Daniel: Come ooon, give me something, anything!
Daniel: I need to score now! Pretty please!

(Daniel throws success)
(Daniel throws average)
(Daniel throws fail)
(Daniel throws success)

Daniel: Yes!! Full ship!
Daniel: Yes! Ship, captain and crew!
Daniel: All right, everyone on deck!
Daniel: Yes!
Daniel: Nice!
Daniel: Cool...
Daniel: Oooo, good throw!
Daniel: Ooooo, that's a nice score!
Daniel: Phew, it was a close one!
Daniel: Pretty good...

Daniel: Ooooh, you see this? Perfect throw!
Sean: Yeah, yeah, good job...

Daniel: Score! Watch out, Sean!
Sean: (in a pirate manner) I'm so scaaared...

(Daniel throws average)

Daniel: Got a ship now!
Daniel: Here you go, captain!
Daniel: Mmmm. Okay, that will do!
Daniel: Mmmm, not great...
Daniel: Not bad!

(Daniel throws fail)

Daniel: What? Come oooon!
Daniel: Uuugh. Is that it?
Daniel: Lame...
Daniel: Man...
Daniel: Ughhh...
Daniel: Why don't I get a full ship? Come on!
Daniel: Zero...

Daniel: This game sucks...
Sean: Don't give up!

Sean: Oooh! Look at these scores. Told you I'd win! You know what it means?
Daniel: Yeah, okay...
Daniel gets up and brings his backpack over to Sean.
Daniel: You can draw... a dick... on my bag.
Sean: Mmmmm, let me think...

Draw a dick.
Draw a wolf.
Draw a dick.

Sean: Hold on... The balls are the trickiest part... Ta-daaaaah!
Sean holds up Daniel's bag.

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Daniel: (smiling) Coooool! But you still suck!

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Daniel: Of course... Thanks anyway...

Draw a wolf.

Sean: Hold on... It's not an easy one. Needs concentration... Ta-daaaaah!
Sean holds up Daniel's bag.

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Daniel: Whoaaah, it's so cool! Thanks, Sean!

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Daniel: Cool! You're not so lame after all! Thanks, Sean!

Sean sends Daniel a smile.

Sean: Told you I'd win!

Daniel: And I win! Do you know what it means?
Sean: Yeah, okay... You won it...
Sean gets up and brings his backpack over to Daniel.
Sean: Here's my bag...
Daniel: Mmmmm, let's see...

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 1))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 1))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 1))

Daniel: Here! What do you think?
Sean holds up his backpack.
Sean: Is that Mushroom?
Daniel: Yes! I know I'm not as good as you, but...
Sean: Nah, it's... It's really cool, dude. Thanks.

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 1))

Daniel: (with satisfaction) Finished!
Sean holds up his backpack.
Sean: A poop. Really?
Daniel: Yeah! It suits you!
Sean: (sarcastically) Well... Thank you very much...

Daniel: And I win!

Sometimes it's possible that both brothers end up with the same exact score, greater than or equal to 20.
Sean: Mmmmm... Draw.
Daniel: Awww, shoot!
Sean: Last turn?
Daniel: Okay!
They will play another round. The game will not end until one of the brothers wins (or Sean decides to stop playing).

(Sean didn't decide to stop playing)

Daniel: So, let's do another one?

It's getting late.
Yeah, okay.
It's getting late.

The script moves on.

Yeah, okay.

Sean: Yeah, okay.

(Sean just won)
(Sean just lost)
(Sean just won)

Sean: Be ready to lose again!

(Sean just lost)

Sean: I'm gonna beat you this time.

Sean: It's getting late though, so let's make it short.
Daniel: Okay!
They will play another game.

Sean: It's bedtime... Gotta get up early.

Daniel: I'm gonna finish my comic book.

Mushroom scratches at the door.

Daniel: She has to pee!

Sean: Okay, okay. I'll take her out for a walk...

Daniel: You're going to smoke! Gross!

Daniel: You're going to smoke! Smells like ass!

Sean puts the game of dice on the coffee table.

Sean: You're right. Don't smoke. But... It's our last night so... We can do anything! All right, all right.

Sean opens the door for Mushroom. He follows her outside.

Sean: I heard you the first time, dude...

He sits on the front porch and lights a cigarette. He sees a rock next to him and tries to pick it up telekinetically, but fails. He and Mushroom go back inside to find that Daniel has fallen asleep. Sean adds another piece of wood to the fire and lies down next to Daniel. The screen fades to black.

Next Morning[]

The next morning, Mushroom barks in the background as Sean and Daniel pack their backpacks.

Sean: Hey, Daniel! How're you doing?

Daniel: It SUCKS!!

Sean: I'm coming...

Mushroom scratches at the door, barking. Sean can open the door for her; if he doesn't, Daniel will open it instead.

(If Sean didn't open the door)

Daniel: Mushroom wants to go out, don't you hear?
Sean: Yeah, sorry.
Daniel: Move!
Daniel opens the door using his powers and Mushroom runs outside.

Sean: (bending down) So... What's going on?

Daniel: It doesn't fit in! There's too much stuff... It's fucking bullshit!

Sean: Okay! No more swearing!
Daniel: Sure... Like you're always polite...
Sean: Come on! Chill out.
Note: Daniel will learn to swear less.

Sean: Hey, cool down! It's gonna be okay.
Daniel: I know. But...
Note: Daniel will continue to swear a lot.

Sean: What did you pack in?

Daniel looks down at his "draw A lot".

Sean: What the f... Dude, you can't fit the whole room in! Don't worry. Your... super strong... big brother can help!

Sean manages to pack everything into the backpack.

Daniel: Awesome! Thanks, Sean...

Sean: Well. (standing up) Looks like we're almost set.

Daniel: Where's Mushroom?

Sean: Still... peeing, I guess?

Daniel: (standing up) I'm gonna check what she's up to.

Sean: Ok... I'll fill up our bottles and... I'll catch up with you guys.

Sean refills the canteens with the water in the bathroom and puts them in his bag.

Sean (inner monologue): Okay, all done. Where the hell is he?

Rule of Might[]

Daniel's Sorrow[]

Sean leaves the house to find Daniel and Mushroom.

Sean: Daniel! Daniel! Hey, you out here? Daniel! Where is he...?

Sean (inner monologue): We have a two day walk ahead of us... Better get going.

Sean (calling to Daniel): DANIEL? WHERE ARE YOU?

Sean (inner monologue): What are they doing? We have to leave.

Sean (calling to Daniel): DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Sean finds some blood by the old canoe and examines it.

Sean (looking at blood): What the fuck happened here?

Sean (inner monologue): Something's not right.

Following the trail in the snow, Sean spots Mushroom's bandanna on a path leading up into the woods.

Sean (looking at bandanna): That's not good...

Sean crawls under the tree trunk and picks up the bandanna, more blood along the trail on the ground. Sean follows the tracks up the hill, finding Daniel facing off against a cougar.

Sean: Daniel?! Oh, shit...

The cougar is growling; Mushroom is on the ground between them, dead and bloody.

Sean: (quietly) Daniel! Do not move...

Daniel: (hysterical) It killed her! She was my friend!

Sean: Calm down, okay? Listen...

Daniel: LEAVE ME ALONE!

Daniel uses his power to lift the cougar, you are given a choice.

Sean pulls Daniel behind him, the cougar lands back on the ground. The older brother grabs a stick and begins flailing.
Sean: Go away! Go!
The cougar takes a swipe at the air, then drags Mushroom back.
Daniel: No! NO...!
Sean holds Daniel back as the cougar picks up Mushroom by the scruff and leaves.
Daniel: Mushroom... Why...?
Daniel covers his face with his hands. Sean holds him as he keeps crying in his embrace.
Sean: Fuck... Daniel... I'm so sorry... It just... wouldn't have changed anything to kill it... I'm right here... It's all right...
They leave the scene.

Daniel: YOU KILLED... MY DOG! (enraged yell)
The neck of the cougar suddenly snaps, and Daniel lets go of its body, startled - it falls to the ground, lifeless.
Sean: FUCK! Daniel...
Daniel: It just... it just happened... What's... happening to me...?
Daniel cries and moves toward Sean, who embraces him, still shaken.
Sean: You... You just wanted to... protect us... I... Save your strength... We'll... We'll figure it out...
Sean gently picks up Mushroom's body from the ground and brings her to Daniel, putting his other hand on Daniel's head to comfort him. Daniel pets her as he cries.
Sean: It's all right... I'm right here...
They walk away with Mushroom to bury her.

Burial[]

Sean and Daniel are at a mound of dirt, placing a cross for Mushroom.

Sean: Here... You should do it.

They finish the little grave and stand up.

Daniel: That's it...? It’s pointless... We can't even bury her...

Daniel: That's it...? It's... bullshit. We can't even bury her...

Daniel: Is that it...?

Sean: Well... Unless you want to say something...

Daniel: Uh... Goodbye, Mushroom... You were such a good puppy. I'll always remember... running through the snow with you. And... how you'd snuggle... and... I'll never forget you... Never.

Sean: So long, Shroom... You won't be forgotten.

Sean: Thank you, Mushroom... For looking after us in these woods. You won't be forgotten.

Sean: Good girl... Rest In Peace... You won't be forgotten.

Daniel: Sean... Do you think she's up in Heaven... with Dad?

Sean: Yeah, I'm sure he will look after her.
Daniel: Wait... What about his allergies?
Sean: Don't worry, enano! There's no allergies up there. They'll be fine together.

(Sean minded swearing while packing up)
(Sean didn't mind swearing while packing up)
(Sean minded swearing while packing up)

Sean: Nah... There is no such thing. It's just us... Here.

(Sean didn't mind swearing while packing up)

Sean: Nah... That's bullshit.

Daniel: Okay... Still... I think that's... unfair.
Sean: I know, man. But she will always be with us. In memories. Like Dad. That's all that matters.
Daniel: Yes. I'll never forget her.

Sean: Okay. We should go. It's getting late.

Daniel: Okay.

Daniel: Sean... I'm sorry I killed the cat. I don't know what I was thinking. If only I could...
Sean: I know... Come on, buddy...

The boys put their backpacks on and begin walking away, back along the path they arrived on.

Daniel: Wish we didn't have to go... I like having a house again...

Sean: Come on. Let's hit the road.

Daniel: What about my traps? Should we leave them up?

Sean: They'll protect the next runaways that stay here...

They walk past the three-headed snow ogre.

Daniel: I put both of you in charge... of the House Mushroom.

Daniel: Bye Lords Snowmen! You look after our Mushroom.

Sean: So long, my dudes!

The Road to Beaver Creek[]

Red begins to play as the brothers silently make the journey to their grandparents.

Sean leads the way, Daniel trailing a few steps behind. At one point he stumbles but recovers, the toll of the hike showing on both their faces.

The reach a flowing river with a broken bridge, a large tree trunk stuck in the middle. Sean goes first then holds Daniel's hand to help him across.

They walk until nightfall when it begins to snow. They make a makeshift campfire and try to keep warm.

Reaching a roadside to walk along, Daniel still coughing. Sean gives Daniel a ride on his shoulders for a while.

A sign reads Beaver Creek Welcomes You (Est. 1881)

A man outside a Liquor store gives Sean some directions, they walk down the road as the screen fades to black.

Sanctuary[]

Arrival[]

Sean and Daniel reach their grandparents' house. Sean sees the name "Reynolds" inscribed on the mailbox.

Sean: We made it, Daniel... It's been a long time since I was here...

Daniel: When was that?

Sean: Before you were born...

They walk up the path to the front door.

Sean: Come here... Let me check you out... Claire likes everything superclean... Dad said she got pissed because he let me bring a snowball in the house...

Sean brushes the dirt off of Daniel and attempts to clean himself off.

Sean: We don't want to look like total pigs.

If Sean waits to ring the doorbell:

Daniel: What are you waiting for?

Sean rings the doorbell and smiles at Daniel.

Daniel: What if they went on vacation... or... something?

Sean: We'll figure out something...

If Sean rings the doorbell a second time:

Claire (off-screen): Yes, we hear you!

A light turns on and Claire opens the door.

Claire: I'm sorry, we don't want any...

Sean: Hello, Claire...

Claire: Sean? Oh my... Is that... Daniel?

Stephen (off-screen): What's going on out here? I heard...

Claire: Look who's here... after all this time...

Stephen joins Claire at the door.

Stephen: (almost raising voice) What the hell are you doing here?

Claire: Stephen, watch your mouth!

Sean: Well... It's kind of a long story...

Daniel starts coughing.

Claire: Oh, you poor thing... (frowns) You know he's sick, right?

Sean: Yeah... But...

Claire puts her hand on Daniel's shoulder and helps Daniel inside.

Claire: Okay, inside... Both of you!

Sean follows them inside and closes the door. The scene switches to Sean sitting at the Reynolds' dining room table with his hands around a cup of tea. He looks around the room, taking in his surroundings. Stephen is sitting a few seats away.

Stephen: Hey, is it... warm enough for you?

Sean: Oh, yeah... Feels nice and... toasty...

Claire comes into the dining room.

Claire: I gave Daniel some cough medicine... (frowns) But you should have taken better care of him... He could have been worse... you were lucky...

Sean looks down, frustrated.

Claire: Stephen, may I talk to you for a second?

Sean watches as Stephen gets up and follows Claire into the foyer.

Stephen and Claire's conversation

Stephen: So, how’s the kid doing?

Claire: He'll be fine, just a little head cold. Oh, Stephen... What are we going to do?

Stephen: I-I don't-- I-I don't know...

Claire: Maybe we should call Gus...

Stephen: I’m not sure that’s a good idea... Do we really want to involve other people?

Claire: Well, maybe he could help... We have to do something!

Stephen: A police officer was killed, Claire, you know... our grandchildren are wanted by the police for murder...

Claire: I know... What if Sean is guilty? Sleeping in our home... next to us...

Stephen: Let's just ask him what happened... then we'll figure something out, okay?

Claire: All right, Stephen... Oh Lord...

Conversation with Claire and Stephen[]

Sean starts to tap his foot nervously. Claire and Stephen come back into the dining room and sit down across from him.

Claire: You all right, honey? You want more tea?

Sean: Thanks. I'm good...

Stephen: Well... Sean... Do you want to talk about... uh...

Claire: The police called us a few weeks ago... They're looking for you as... suspects... in a homicide.

(Stole the camping gear)

Claire: And for assault and robbery in a gas station.

Claire: Now, if you want us to help you, did you... hurt that police officer in Seattle?

Sean: I don't know... I swear I don't... Too much happened and I'm trying to figure it out... but...

Sean: Seriously? You really think I killed that cop?
Stephen: Don't get mad, Sean! We have to ask... We only know what we saw on the news!

Sean: No! That's fucking bullshit! I never touched the guy!
Stephen: Don't get mad, Sean! We have to ask... We only know what we saw on the news!

Tears form in Sean's eyes.

Sean: All I know is that... He shot Dad... and now he's gone!

Claire: Oh, sweetie...

Claire reaches for Sean's hand but he moves it away.

Claire: We are so sorry for what happened to your father... But... why did you run away if you're innocent?

Sean: It happened so fast... I saw the cop on the ground... and my Dad... and I freaked out...
Claire: Oh, I know. You poor thing...
Stephen puts his hand on Claire's arm. They briefly exchange looks while Claire speaks.
Claire: But that just made things worse for you and your brother...

Sean: We had no choice! The cops would have blamed me for everything! I know it!
Claire: Well, Sean! Now the police DO blame you...

Sean: I didn't want Daniel to see Dad... like that... I felt like I had to protect him...
Claire and Stephen exchange looks.
Claire: I understand... but...

Sean treads on words for a moment.

Sean: (angrily) You know the police would separate us... maybe forever.

He looks down, upset.

Sean: Daniel would end up in foster care.

Stephen: You can't be sure, Sean... Anyway... At least you've managed to come here alive. We're glad you two are okay.

Claire: I hate to think what could have happened to both of you... You need to think of long term solutions now.

Sean: I tried... I swear... but I can't do everything...

Stephen and Claire exchange glances.

Claire: So... What are your plans?

Sean: Go down to Mexico... to Puerto Lobos... Dad has a family house down there...
Claire: Sean... You can't run away from the law like... like... fugitives!

Sean: I'm trying to figure it out... I just want to watch out for Daniel... Wait for him to get better... before we take the road again.

Claire: How can you look out for your brother if you're both running from the police?

Stephen: You two are gonna stay with us.

Claire: Oh, Stephen... Maybe we should...

Stephen: After your mother left... your dad never really wanted us in your life... I can't blame him... But you're still part of our family and... We want to prove it, okay?

Sean: Seriously? That's... really nice, Stephen... Thank you...
Claire: Okay, but we have to lay down the rules of the house... No mess, no noise... or no service!
Stephen: The biggest rule is keep your heads low around here... Beaver Creek is small... and nosey and... nosey.

Sean: Whoa, really? Aren't you scared? The police already called you...
Claire: Lordy, yes... But we're also scared for you.
Stephen: That's why you'll have to be careful around here... Beaver Creek is small and... nosey.

Daniel runs into the room.

Daniel: We can stay? Serious? Awesome! Oooh, Sean! Guess what? There's a huge model train upstairs!

Stephen: (laughing) Hey! You're supposed to be resting, young man!

Claire: Yeah, yes he is... but he seems better already... Anyway, you and Daniel will stay here. At least until Daniel's better...

Daniel sits down next to Sean.

Claire: We'll see what happens next...

Claire stands up and walks towards the kitchen.

Claire: So... I bet you're hungry. Let me fix you something.

Daniel smiles at Sean and the screen fades to black.

The Guest Room[]

Sean and Daniel sit on the guest room bed in pajamas.

Sean: How do you feel, Superwolf?

Daniel: Way better... It's nice and warm in here. And the food... Yum!

Sean: Yeah, feels good...

Claire enters the room.

Claire: Feeling better? You look cozy...

Daniel: Yeah. I love that bed! Thanks, Grandma...

Claire feels Daniel's forehead.

Claire: Good. Your temperature is down...

Daniel: I'm way better now...

Sean: You still need to take it easy...

Claire: How about if we say a little prayer and, and give thanks?

Daniel: It's like a bedtime story? Right?
Claire: Well this is a bit like this, yes... Except the story comes from... (points upwards) up there...
Daniel: (chuckles) The ceiling?
Claire: So are we ready to pray? Just follow my lead...

Sure...
Not for me, sorry.
Sure...

Sean: Sure... We need all the help we can get...
Daniel: Can you ask to bless Dad... and Sean... and Mushroom... and you and Grandpa... and... uh... everybody else...
Claire: Oh my... You are so sweet.
Claire sits on the bed. The three of them hold hands, bowing their heads.
Claire: Thank you, Lord for bringing Sean and Daniel safe and sound into our house. Take care of Esteban, and... errr... Mushroom. Please, give us the strength to get over the hardships of the past, and the trials... yet to come... Amen.
Daniel: Amen.
Sean: Amen.
Claire pats their heads and stands up.

Not for me, sorry.

Sean: I'm sorry... I just... I can't get into this religious stuff...
Daniel: I'll pray with you, Grandma... Can you ask to bless Dad... and Sean... and Mushroom... and you and Grandpa... and... uh... everybody else...
Claire: Oh my... You are so sweet.
Claire sits on the bed. She and Daniel pray while Sean watches.
Claire: Thank you, Lord for bringing Sean and Daniel safe and sound into our house. Take care of Esteban, and... errr... Mushroom. Please, give us the strength to get over the hardships of the past, and the trials... yet to come... Amen.
Claire pats Daniel's head.
Daniel: Amen.
Claire stands up.

Claire: Okay. It's bedtime! Try to get some rest... You still need it. And no rough-housing in here!
Sean: No worries... We're too tired... Goodnight. Oh and...
Claire turns back to face them.
Sean: (smiling) Thanks again.

(Daniel learned to swear less)
(Daniel continues to swear a lot)
(Daniel learned to swear less)

Daniel: Why? Sean says heaven isn't even real...

(Daniel continues to swear a lot)

Daniel: Why? Sean says that's bullshit...

Claire frowns and crosses her arms.
Claire: Now boys, that's not very polite... We always say a prayer at bedtime. Always.

We never do.
Sorry...
We never do.

Sean: We never do... Never. Dad didn't make us go to church... So...
Claire: Oh, I see... Maybe you're too young to know everything yet... But I can't make you pray. Well, it's time for bed. And no rough-housing in here!
Sean: No worries... We're too tired. Goodnight. Thank you again.
Daniel: Yeah. We'll be quiet...

Sorry...

Sean: Sorry, Claire. We didn't mean it like that... We just... never had to go to church...
Claire: Oh, I see... Well, I can still say a prayer for my grandchildren...
Claire sits on the bed and prays alone.
Claire: Thank you, Lord for bringing Sean and Daniel safe and sound into our house. Please, give us the strength to get over the hardships of the past, and the trials... yet to come...
Claire pats Daniel's head and stands up.
Claire: Okay. It's bedtime! Try to get some rest... You still need it. And no rough-housing in here!
Sean: No worries... We're too tired... Goodnight. Oh and...
Claire turns back to face them.
Sean: (smiling) Thanks again.

Daniel: Goodnight, Grandma!

Claire turns off the lights and leaves the room, closing the door behind her.

Daniel: It feels so nice to have a bed again... and a bathroom...

Sean: I hear that... Plus you don't smell anymore...

Daniel: Whatever.

Daniel: Well... Claire seems pretty caring... and nice... I guess Stephen is too. I hope we'll be fine here.

Daniel: Well... That prayer thing was... pretty weird!

Daniel: Do you think we'll be okay here? ^{[Note 2]}

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 1))

Daniel: I really hope we'll be okay here. ^{[Note 2]}

Sean: I think so. And the more important thing is you'll have time to get better.

Daniel: Sean? Are we in Mom's old room?

Sean: Nah, I don't think this is the one. Not from what I remember. But it's been a while...

Daniel: Could we... Check it out tomorrow? Maybe find some of her stuff?

Sean: No way, Daniel. We didn't come here to dig into the past.
Daniel: But... I wanna see what kind of stuff she had... Just curious.
Sean: Daniel! She left us. She's gone. She's nothing. It's just us. You understand?

Sean: Why would you want to do that?
Daniel: I just don't know anything about her...
Sean: Daniel, I understand... but we need to focus on where we are now... and where we're off to... Mom left us. She made her choice. We gotta make ours. And we can't keep going back... You know what I mean?

Daniel: Yeah... I guess...

Sean: Hey, man... You've been doing so great with your... well... you know. I was wondering... How do you do it?

Daniel: Uhhh... I don't know... I concentrate and... it just happens...

Sean: Wait... Does it hurt?
Daniel: Nah. It's kinda itchy though. And exhausting.
Sean: Sorry.

Sean: So... It makes you feel strong? Like... special, and mighty?
Daniel: I don't think that... I don't know how I feel... Why are you asking?
Sean: Nevermind. Just curious... Forget I asked anything.

Sean: Anyway. Remember the rules, right? We really don't want Claire or Stephen to start asking questions.

Daniel: I know, I know... Don't show, don't talk...

Sean: Just keep that in mind and... everything should be fine. Sleep tight. Little cub...

The screen fades to black.

The Gingerbread House[]

Breakfast[]

One week later, Sean wakes up alone in the Reynolds' guest room. He stretches, then props himself up and gets out of bed. Daniel and Stephen's voices can faintly be heard through the wall.

Sean (inner monologue): Man, I could sleep all day long on this bed. But I'm way too hungry...

After putting on his pants and exiting the room, Sean finds Stephen entertaining Daniel with his model train display.

Daniel: Sean! Finally!

Claire (from downstairs): Sean, are you awake? Breakfast's almost done, so come down when you're ready, okay?

Sean: Okay!

Background dialogue between Daniel and Stephen:

Daniel: TCHOO TCHOOO!

Stephen: Careful, chief, we're going too fast!

Daniel: We have to! We're late on schedule!

Stephen: Yeah, but we are going to scare the passengers away! (laughs)

Daniel: You're right! Slow the engine!

Daniel: I don't care! Faster!

Daniel: All aboooard! Come on! The Chief has to get this train to Seattle by noon! So much traffic in town! Do we have enough fuel?

Stephen: This engine runs on charcoal, chief!

Daniel: Oooh, that's true! And we have a ton of it! And watch out for any train hoppers!

Sean goes downstairs and he can still hear Daniel playing:

Daniel: Careful! Tunnels ahead! Hold your breath! Wooh! We made it!

Sean enters the kitchen, where he finds Claire sitting at the table.

Claire: Oh my, look who's awake! Good morning, sleepyhead...

Sean: It's that bed... feels like a cloud.

Claire: I know!

If Sean doesn't sit down immediately:

Claire: You can sit down, Sean! Aren't you hungry?

Sean: I'm starving!

After Sean sits down at the table, Claire calls in the direction of the balcony.

Claire: Daniel, breakfast time! Your brother is ready!

Daniel: Grandpa is showing me a boxcar!

Claire: Stephen, your grandson needs to eat now! You can show him the boxcar later!

Claire turns back to Sean.

Claire: I love how they're getting along...

Sean: Do you need help or... anything?
Claire: Oh, don't worry, I can do this in the dark... but thanks for the offer.
Sean: All right, all right!

Sean: What's on the menu this morning?
Claire: Well, someone told me the buttermilk waffles are back.
Sean: Mmmm-hmmm! Awesome!

Daniel comes up to the table and takes a seat.

Claire: Are you boys done playing?

Daniel: We had an express delivery with the passengers, but... the engine broke down!

Stephen walks up behind Daniel, holding the broken engine.

Stephen: Yep. Has to go straight to the workshop!

Claire: Good... No trains in the kitchen remember?

Stephen: Gotcha, chief.

Daniel: Choo choo!

While attempting to open a drawer, Claire pulls off the metal handle.

Claire: Oh, sugar! He can fix his trains but... not my kitchen...

Claire picks up her frying pan walks over to the table. Sean and Daniel hold their plates up as Claire scrapes some scrambled eggs and waffles onto them. Sean reaches over the table to grab a carton of orange juice.

Claire: Did I make enough? Everything's okay?

Sean: It's great, as usual!

Daniel: You're the best cook ever!

Claire: Looks like you're getting cozy with this new country life, after all!

Sean: I miss Seattle, my friends... There's so much more to do in the city.
Claire: There's more crime... more traffic... Nobody can go out anymore...
Sean: I think there's crime everywhere...
Daniel: I love Seattle. But it's cool here too!
Claire: Well, it's certainly safer for children... Everybody out here is a neighbor...

Sean: Yeah... It's nice to be far away from everything... feels like we're the only ones out here...
Claire: Well, that's exactly why we love it. It feels safe, unlike the big city...
Sean: I get it.
Daniel: I like it. It's cool here!
Claire: Well, bless your soul. You'd get along good with our neighbors.

Claire: We try to lend a hand... like to Charles next door... He lost his wife and... things have been hard on him and his son... He would just get lost in Seattle. But we're all taking care of him here...

Daniel: How old is his son?

Claire: I think he's your age!

Daniel: Ooh, cool!

After the brothers finish their breakfast, Sean begins to collect their utensils and stack the plates. Daniel looks at Claire for a moment, then starts using his powers to stack the plates.

Sean looks on in awe as Daniel stacks the plates with his powers, then softly sets them on the counter.

Sean: (whispering) Stop it! You crazy?!
Daniel, caught off guard, sets the plates down a little too hard, causing them to clang.
Claire: Hey! What's going on back there?
Sean: Nothing!

Claire walks over to the table.

Claire: (laughs) And I thought Stephen was a fast eater!

She reaches out and grabs the stacked plates from Sean.

Daniel: Hey, Grandma? I wanted to ask you something... about that locked room upstairs...

Sean gives a hard look towards Daniel.

Claire: I told you there is nothing to see in it, Daniel...

Daniel: Why were you in it this morning, then?

Claire: Because there's a lot of old junk in there, and... Besides, it's not safe for you to explore, okay?

Daniel: But we'll be fine--
Claire turns away wordlessly.

Daniel: (sighs) This is bullshit.
Claire (as she turns away): Daniel, language!

Claire puts the dishes into the sink.

Claire: Why don't you go explore outside? You sure look like you're getting better. Get some fresh air!

Daniel: I'll wait for Sean! And then we'll go! We won't be loud! Promise!

Claire: But be careful nobody sees you. Stay in the back, okay?

Sean turns to look as Daniel leaves, then leans onto the counter.

Sean: Maybe you should tell him that it was Karen's room...

(Daniel continues to swear a lot)

Claire: And maybe you should tell him to watch his mouth...

Claire: It's just a room now, Sean... Nothing to see...

Sean: Why lock it then? It feels like you're hiding something...
Claire: There's no secret... But we just want to move on with our lives, Sean.

Sean: Daniel needs that... He doesn't know anything about her...
Claire: I know, poor thing... but his Mother isn't in there anymore...

Claire: So nobody goes in the room, okay? I'm serious...

Sean: Did Mom ever contact you? She only talked to Dad a few times... then she was gone...
Claire: (sighs) Yes, she was... You know, Sean, I don't really want to talk about this anymore. It's over...

Sean: It's cool, I don't care... she left us anyway...
Claire: (sighs) Yes, Sean... She left all of us...

Claire: Anyway... You have to respect my rules under my roof, okay?

Sean: Of course... Always.
Claire: I appreciate that, Sean... Now, you better go find your brother...

Sean: Hey, come on... Chill out. We're not criminals.
Claire: I... I didn't mean that, Sean... Maybe you should go check on your brother.

Claire starts walking out of the kitchen towards the living room.

Claire: There's a shed with some old toys outside... I'll... bet Stephen has the key.

Sean: Daniel will freak... Thank you...

Exploring Around[]

As Claire takes a seat on her recliner, Sean gets up from the table and starts walking around.

(If Chris called and spoke to Claire in Captain Spirit)

The phone starts to ring and Claire answers.
Claire: Hello?
Claire: Well, of course I know who this is, Chris. What a nice surprise! Are you okay? Is everything alright?
Claire: That is so sweet! I'm so glad to see you playing outside like a real boy... Anyway, I'll be happy to let Stephen know his services are required. He loves that treehouse.
Claire: What bad guys?
Claire: What do you mean—?
Claire looks at the phone and hangs up.

Daniel's background comments about his homework:

Daniel will briefly sit at the dining room table and try to do his homework.

Daniel: This sucks... Mmmmmm... Is it...? Mmmmm... Divide by 4... thirty... six? Shoot, I don't know...

Discussing Daniel's homework:

Sean: Hey, Mister Pout. What's going on?

Daniel: Why do I have to do homework when I'm not even in school?

Sean: I know it sucks, but... you still have to learn things. Or... you'll become dumb.
Daniel: Okay... But... these problems are stupid.
Sean: I know, man. I've been there too. Just... do your best.

Sean: You don't. Claire thinks we need to be in school, but... We're our own teachers now, right?
Daniel: Right! These problems are stupid...
Sean: I know! Just... do what you need to do, to keep her off your back.

After a while:

Daniel: I'm done...

Daniel, clearly having had enough, gets up and starts exploring around the house. Sean can no longer discuss the homework if he hasn't.

If Sean goes back to Claire:

Claire: Sorry for getting upset, Sean, I... I just don't feel comfortable talking about all this.

Sean: It's... It's fine, really. We don't have to.

(If Chris blew up the snowman in Captain Spirit)

Claire: What? He's letting him play with firecrackers again? Aw, for Christ sakes...

Claire's background comments about her book:

Claire: "...Weave kindness into your daily narrative." Beautiful...

Claire: Gee, I could never do that!

Claire: Aww, poor man. We've all been there.

Claire: Mmm... fair point. Never really thought of it that way...

Claire: That is good advice. Stephen ought to read this...

Optional Conversation with Claire[]

Sean: Hey, Claire...

Claire: What's on your mind, Sean?

Sean: Do you know anything about... Dad's funeral?
Claire: There was a service... we couldn't make it in time, but we sent flowers. I'm sorry, Sean...
Sean: It's okay... I just wanted to make sure... somebody took care of him...
Claire: Hopefully... you can go visit him at some point...
Sean: At some point... yeah.

Sean: What did you think of Dad? You can tell me. I won't get mad.
Claire: Well, your father was... He was his own person.
Sean: That's it? I mean... I know you guys didn't really get along...
Claire: It's just... Esteban was very different from us. And he never took a single step to change any of that.

Sounds like Dad.
Did you try?
Sounds like Dad.

Sean: Sounds like Dad. He wasn't one to smooth things over.
Claire: Trust me, I know the type. But he did raise you boys on his own. Can't argue with that.
Sean: Yeah... He worked his ass off for us... Wish I'd realized that sooner.
Claire: Don't worry, Sean.

Did you try?

Sean: Did you?
Claire: I wish we would have. Some bridges you can't cross. I can only live with regrets now...
Sean: Don't worry. You guys taking care of us is... all he would've wanted.
Claire: That's a very kind thing of you to say, Sean. Thank you...

Sean: How long have you and... Stephen been married?
Claire: Oh my, forever... But a good forever! Almost forty years!
Sean: Man, that's more than twice my age... You both were married during Y2K.
Claire: Thanks for making me feel even older... I assume you must have a girlfriend, or...

Not really...
Almost...
Not really...

Sean: Not really... I'm not much of a player... With all this going on, I... I don't even think about that stuff.

Almost...

Sean: I almost started dating this... one person. But I guess... not anymore.

Claire: I understand. I'm sorry, honey. It's not fair that you have to deal with all this. things will change.
Sean: I hope.

Sean: What's the story with your neighbor?
Claire: Charles? Poor man used to be a basketball coach, but had to move out here after his wife's passing... He's got a job at the rail yard now, and... Well, he's still recovering.
Sean: Wow... I mean, that's sad.
Claire: We try to give him a hand... Keep an eye on his... drinking problem. His son, Chris, is a little angel, though.

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Claire: (smiling) I think Daniel would be a good influence on him... He's got a great role model, after all...
Sean: Thanks... I'm trying my best.

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Claire: I think he could be a good influence on Daniel. This boy has spent too much time on the road...
Sean: Yeah, and I'm not always the best role model...

Sean: Well... Thanks, Claire.

Claire: You are very welcome... It's always a pleasure to speak with my grandsons.

(Sean tidied at least two times)

Claire: Thank you for tidying up a little, it's nice of you.
Sean: Yeah, no problem.

Daniel's Occasional Comments and Dialogues with Claire:

Daniel looks at the dog picture near the easel.

Daniel: Awww, you had a dog?

Claire: Yes... Old Polly left us 3 years ago... But she's still with us, day after day.

Daniel: Isn't she in heaven, with Mushroom...?
Claire: Of course, she is! But she's in our thoughts, as well.
Daniel: That's nice...

Daniel: How can she be with you?
Claire: Well, she's in our thoughts and prayers, so we never forget her.
Daniel: Okay... I'll never forget Mushroom either...

Daniel walks up to a small table behind the couch and examines a photo next to the flyer.

Daniel: (giggles) You and grandpa really looked funny before.

Daniel: You really had a weird, ugly hair...

Claire: Daniel! You would have looked the same, back then!

Daniel: (giggles) I would never get that haircut!

Daniel goes over to the aquarium.

Daniel: Hey, Grandma, where are the fish?

Claire: Well, there's only one, and he's terribly shy...

Daniel: Sean, quick! Look at this fish! It's so beautiful!

Daniel: Dude! Come on! I told you there was a fish in it!

Daniel sits down on the couch and puts his legs on it.

Claire: Sweetie, can you not put your feet on the couch?

Daniel does as he is told.

Daniel: Uh... Sorry...

Daniel: Yeah... Whatever.

Daniel goes to see the box with christmas decorations.

Claire: So, are you excited about the tree, Daniel?

Daniel: Of course I am! When do we start?

Claire: I'll get it this weekend, promise.

Daniel walks up to a shelf next to the fireplace and looks at the bird figurines.

Claire: What do you think of my birds, Daniel?

Daniel: (giggles nervously) They're... kinda creepy.

Daniel: Huh. They're kinda ugly... You should throw them away.

Claire: Don't be silly! (chuckles)

After a while, Daniel crouches in front of the fireplace.

Claire: Are you okay, Daniel?

Daniel: I'm fine, just... bored...

Optional Interactions[]

Discussing the TV with Daniel:

Sean: Man. Can you imagine watching a slasher out here? Deep in the woods... No one around...

Daniel: No way! Too scary...

Examining the aquarium with Daniel:

Sean: Have you ever seen any actual fish in there?

Daniel: Never...

Examining the box of christmas decorations with Daniel:

Sean: Whoah! Look at all these decorations...

Daniel: That's so cool!

If Sean and Daniel are alone upstairs and Claire hasn't left yet:

Daniel: Sean! When will I... train again? I miss it...

Sean: Sssshhhh, don't worry. As soon as we can.

Relax and draw dialogue:

Daniel: Hey! I wanna be in your drawing!

Daniel sits down on the couch and poses.

(If Sean hasn't gone to Stephen yet)

Claire: Awww, don't draw me like this, Sean, I'm a mess!
Sean: Don't worry, I'm drawing the whole room.
Claire: Good. It's so nice to see you practice, you're so passionate!

Daniel: I'm not moving. Hope I look good.

Asking Claire about the broken ship:

Sean: What happened to the ship?

Claire: Oh, that thing? Stephen made it years ago, but it fell and he doesn't know how to fix it...

Sean: That's sad... Looks pretty cool, anyway...

Claire: Yeah, well... It's life!

Examining the travel pictures:

Sean can look at some travel pictures, which he will then ask Claire about.

Sean: Where was that picture of you guys on the beach from?

Claire: We went to Hawaii when Stephen retired, believe it or not.

Sean: Aw, that's so cool! (laughs) I can totally see you surfing... Did you love it?
Claire: Well, it was too much paradise for me. I think Stephen could have stayed.
Sean: Dad said Puerto Lobos was like a mini-paradise.
Claire: Of course he would. That doesn't mean you'll think that.
Sean: We'll see...

Sean: That's sooo cool. Did you guys ever go anywhere else?
Claire: That's as far outside of the country as we want to go. There's plenty to see around here.
Sean: I think I've seen more than enough...
Claire: I get it, but... don't let what happened turn you away from this country... It's still your home, Sean...
Sean: Yeah, well... I just need some time, I guess.
Claire: I know, sweetie.

Optional Moment of Calm:

Sean leans against a wooden railing on the mezzanine, which overlooks the entire room downstairs.

Sean (inner monologue): It's so weird to be back here again... Claire and Stephen are kinda weird sometimes, but... they do care about us... and I'm glad they're spoiling Daniel... Wish I could. Dad never really got along with them though. He barely knew them... Heh, family, right? We're safe, that's all I need.

Eventually, Daniel comes up to the railing as well. Sean glances at him, smiling.

Daniel: What are you doing, Sean?

Daniel sits down, placing his legs between the posts so that they hang freely.

Sean: Nothing, just... taking a look at the house...

Sean gets down and joins Daniel, both brothers relaxing and enjoying the view.

Daniel: It's pretty cool here. It's not like home... But... Grandma and Grandpa are nice.

Sean: Yeah, they are. We're lucky they took us in.

Daniel: How long are we gonna stay with them?

Sean: I don't know. As long as it's safe for us... and for them, I guess.

Daniel: Yeah.

The camera shows various shots of the house until you decide to leave the moment.

Sean (inner monologue): All right, enough contemplation for today.

Sean gets back up, and Daniel does the same.

Playing with the Miniature Train:

Sean sits by the handcrafted display upstairs, where he saw Daniel and Stephen have fun earlier, and sets the model train off. Daniel comes up to him.

Daniel: Hey! What's up?

Daniel: Oh... So you actually showed up on time! The train is about to leave the station!
Sean: I'm new to the job, but... I'm ready, Chief!

Daniel: Oh! Excuse me, sir, you did not win a ticket for this train. You gotta hitchhike.
Sean: Come on, Chief, I just wanna see how this works.

Daniel: Now I can be a real superhero and save the train from disaster!

Sean (inner monologue): I remember playing this when I came here, years ago. Man... Things were so different back then.

Sean: This model is... so amazing.

Daniel: Yeah! Grandpa says it took decades to build. Can you believe it?

Sean: It's crazy.

Daniel: It's way cooler than anything I ever did in Minecraft...

Daniel: Watch out! The train is going to derail!

Sean (inner monologue): This toy train is kinda soothing, actually.

Daniel: I wonder if Stephen has ever seen a flying train?

If Sean prepares a refill, then makes the train go through the tunnel, he'll hear a noise.

Sean: Mmmmm. Sounds like something's stuck in that tunnel...

If Sean stops the train after that and checks it, he'll obtain the optional collectible.

Sean: Oh, there actually was something stuck in there.

You can play with the train until you decide to leave. If you leave without making the train stop, it will come to a halt automatically.

Stephen's Study[]

Sean walks into Stephen's study, where Stephen is working on a blueprint.

Stephen: Mmmmm, think I need a handy assistant... Can you hand me the glue? In the cupboard, behind me...

Sean goes up to the cupboard and starts to open one of its doors. As he does, the cupboard starts to fall over, and Stephen rushes over to stop it.

Sean: Woah!

Stephen: Uh, careful! Sorry, I-I forgot... That thing isn't too stable, let me just...

Sean: Okay... sorry...

Stephen: My fault... Your grandmother keeps telling me, but... I'm a lazy old man... Hey, can you close the door? I want to talk for a second...

Sean: Oh...

Stephen: Ah! It's the power cable, of course. It happens all the time...

Stephen: So, listen, I've... noticed things. With Daniel. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

Sean: Yeah, I do...
Stephen: But... How the heck is that possible? I mean, he can... Well, you know more than me...
Sean: Not really.... It started in Seattle after... everything happened. I wish I could explain, but... that's how it is now... and we have to live with it.
Stephen takes a moment, then continues.
Stephen: I-I really don't know what to think... He needs a doctor... Or... something.
Sean: Then I'd probably never see him again...
Stephen: Yeah, I get it... He needs you, more than anything else.

Sean: Uh... Not really. What "things?"
Stephen: Well... I'm not sure how to put it, like... some kind of invisible force, a... holy gift or something.
Sean: Ummmm... Yeah. Daniel likes to pretend he's got superpowers, but... that's it.
Stephen: That's it? Okay... But be careful, Sean. He's still so young.
Sean: ...Sure.

Stephen: By the way, let's keep this between us... Claire has a lot of strong beliefs... She... wouldn't understand... She adores Daniel, and just wants both of you to be safe and happy.

Sean nods.

Stephen: What I'm trying to say is... Maybe you should stay here with us... I know you boys plan to run to Mexico but...

Sean: Thanks... maybe we could, but... why not.
Stephen: I know being out here in the sticks with us old farts isn't exciting, but... this is your home now.
Sean: It's cool... Kinda different, but... I just don't want you to get into trouble because of us...

Sean: We have a home in Puerto Lobos. Dad wanted to return there... Two Mexican boys out on the run? That won't be a secret in Beaver Creek for long.
Stephen: America is your home... with us. And you have to think about your brother, his future... all that stuff..
Sean: It's too dangerous for us to stay here. And for you guys, too...

Stephen: It's dangerous to be on the road. Do you think your father would've wanted this for his kids?

Sean: Of course not... but everything's different now...
Stephen: I know, I know... Well, just think about it. But... don't torture yourself.
Sean: I won't...

Sean: You don't know him! You never even tried to. So don't speak for him.
Stephen: Sorry... you're right, Sean... It was complicated... with your moth-- with Karen.
Sean: I know... I... Sorry for yelling at you.

Sean: Hey, uh... Claire said you had the keys for the tool shed...

Stephen: Oh, sure...

Stephen reaches over the desk and grabs the key, then hands it to Sean.

Stephen: Here. You guys enjoy the sun!

Sean gets up from the desk and pushes his chair back in.

Stephen: And be careful with that shed, it's probably a mess inside.

Sean: Thanks!

Sean gets up from his chair.

Stephen: It's good to see you in my lair! You were afraid to come in here as a kid.

Sean: Really? Why?

Stephen: No idea... But, you're a big boy now. You can take a look around, I won't eat you...

Sean: Cool.

Discussing the photo of Karen with Stephen

Sean picks up the photo of Karen and looks at it.

Stephen: Oh, you found this.

Stephen gets up from his chair and walks over to Sean.

Stephen: I - I just forgot to...

Sean: It's okay. It's been a while since I've... seen her face...

Stephen: Yeah... I like taking a look at it, from time to time.

Sean: Doesn't it hurt?

Stephen: It does, but... she's still my daughter, you know? I can't approve what she's done, but I... I think I understand.

Sean: Good. I don't.

Stephen: Sorry, Sean. Please don't... Please don't say anything to Claire about this, okay?

Stephen goes to sit back down in his chair.

Sean: Don't worry, I won't.

Discussing the disco ball with Stephen

Sean: How come you have a disco ball? Are you like, throwing parties and stuff?

Stephen: No, this is a... a souvenir. You know, I actually met your grandma during a disco night, believe it or not!

Sean: Claire told me you guys have been married for like 40 years, so it kinda makes sense...
Stephen: That sure was a long time ago but... we stuck together, you know, through thick and thin!
Sean: That's cool...
Stephen: Well... Call me old-fashioned but I think that's how marriage should be.

Sean: For real?! That's so cool!
Stephen: She was such a good dancer... We danced the hustle and I knew I was gonna marry that woman.
Sean: Awww... By the way, I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds so very cute!
Stephen: (laughing) I'd show what it is, if only these hips allowed me to.

Discussing the framed photo with Stephen

Sean: Wow... Is that you?

Stephen: Yeah, that was taken when I retired. The mayor came to congratulate me himself!

Sean: That's awesome.

Stephen: Yeah, really great day. I wish you'd been here...

Discussing the crayon drawing with Stephen

Sean: Man, who did this?

Stephen: Oh, it was our neighbor's son, Chris! Yeah, I helped him and his dad build that tree house.

Sean: Why are you holding a fire sword?

Stephen: I'm not sure... Yeah, that kid sure has an imagination.

Discussing the laptop with Stephen

Stephen: I'm sorry, Sean, I know you guys miss your games and your websites... But trust me, a break from all this can only do you good. You know... it's, it's safer that way.

Sean: Yeah, yeah, I know...

Claire Leaves & Doing Chores[]

Sean exits Stephen's study and runs into Claire. She's wearing her winter jacket.

Claire: Oh, there you are, Sean! Got the key? Hey, I have to go out and run some errands... Can you do me a big favor? Do you know how to work a washing machine?

Sean: Since I was about 8...

Claire: Of course... Can you throw in yours and your brother's clothes after the next load? They're in the bathroom basket.

Sean: Totally, yeah... No problem.

Claire: Thanks so much... Feel free to keep on tidying your stuff, too, it's good for the health to keep a house clean.

Claire: Thank you so much... Feel free to start tidying your stuff, too, it's good for the health to keep a house clean.

Sean: Definitely. Daniel can help.

Claire: Oh, and remember, for your own safety, no phone and no Internet. I know, I know, boring rules...

Sean: Don't worry, Claire.

Claire exits through the front door.

Sean: Hey, Daniel! There's work for you!

Daniel: Uh, no! I'm busy!

Sean: Busy my ass! Come over here!

Daniel: (laughing) You gotta find me first!

Sean: Jeez...

Sean's Thoughts:

Sean (inner monologue): I get that he's sick of all this shit, but... why are we playing this game?

Sean (inner monologue): Fuck... This house isn't that big. I should be able to find him...

Optional Conversation with Stephen

Sean opens the door to Stephen's office.

Sean: Hey, um... Have you seen Daniel? He's... hiding, somewhere.

Stephen: Running away from chores... I can relate. Sorry, Sean, he's not in here. I swear.

Sean: Yeah, well... Thanks!

Sean can search the house for Daniel. As he heads upstairs, Sean can see a bedroom door slightly moving and creaking. Daniel however isn't in there. If Sean goes to the bathroom, he'll see a shower curtain moving.

(Pull back the bathroom door)
(Pull back the shower curtain)
(Try to pick up the laundry)
(Pull back the bathroom door)

Sean: I know you're in there...
Sean pulls back the door, revealing Daniel.
Sean: GOTCHA! (Daniel sighs, smiling) Come on, get your butt out!
Daniel: Okay, okay...

(Pull back the shower curtain)

Sean: I know you're in there...
Sean pulls back the shower curtain, but Daniel isn't there.
Sean: GOTCHA! What the--
Daniel quickly sneaks up behind Sean and scares him.
Daniel: BEHIND YOU!
Sean: (playfully pushing Daniel) Yeah, very funny...

(Try to pick up the laundry)

As Sean starts to gather the dirty laundry, Daniel sneaks up behind him and gives him a scare.
Daniel: BEHIND YOU!
Sean: (playfully pushing Daniel) Yeah, very funny...

Sean: No more hiding, seriously!
Daniel: Okay, okay. What do I have to do?
Sean: You tidy the mess in our room, and I take care of the laundry. Cool?

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Daniel: Yeah, sure... It sucks...
Daniel walks out of the bathroom, heading toward the guest room.
Sean: I know... Thanks.
Sean picks up the laundry.
Daniel: Okay! Easy peasy!
Using his powers, Daniel begins to tidy the room.

Ask to stop
Ask to stop

Sean: Dude! Can't you do this with your own hands...?
Daniel: Yes, I can! But... it's quicker this way.
Sean: You'll go all numb if you keep on doing this. You know?
Daniel: Yes, I know! Smarty-pants...

After a moment, Daniel is finished.
Daniel: (hurriedly) Done! Can we go outside now?
Sean: Yeah... Let me just throw our clothes in the machine and... we're good.
There's no need for Sean to come back later and tidy the room.

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Daniel: Again? We always have to clean everything! I don't wanna!
Sean: Yeah, I hear you... Nevermind, okay?
Daniel: Cool. Thanks, Sean...
Daniel walks out of the bathroom, and Sean picks up the laundry.
Sean (inner monologue): All right. Let's get it over with.
...
Later on, Sean has the option to cut Daniel some slack and tidy the bedroom himself.
Sean: Come on, man! I've put all your toys in the trash, dude.
Daniel: What?! Really???
Sean: (angrily) Of course not. But next time you bail on me... maybe I will.
Daniel: Sorry...

Sean must call for Daniel three times.
Sean: You know I'm gonna find you!
Sean: Come on! I need help...
Sean: Hey! You can come out! I'll do it myself...
Daniel emerges from the bathroom.
Sean: Here you are! Thanks for nothing, dude...
Daniel: I'm too young to do the laundry!
Sean: Correction: You're too old to be a little brat!
Daniel: Not yet...
Sean picks up the laundry.
Sean (inner monologue): All right. Let's get it over with.
...
Later on, Sean has the option to cut Daniel some slack and tidy the bedroom himself.
Sean: Come on, man! I've put all your toys in the trash, dude.
Daniel: What?! Really???
Sean: (angrily) Of course not. But next time you bail on me... maybe I will.
Daniel: Sorry...

Sean goes downstairs and puts the clothes in the washing machine.

Sean (inner monologue): How many programs does this thing have? Okay. It will do.

(If Chris called the Reynolds after Charles fell asleep in Captain Spirit)

Sean can see Daniel standing in the living room and making throat noises into the telephone. He then puts it back down and laughs.
Sean: What the hell are you doing?
Daniel: (turning around, surprised) What??? I just picked up the phone...!
Sean: You know what, dude? We are not supposed to be here. Who was it?
Daniel: I don't know! Some kid! It was just a prank, Sean...
Sean: I know, just... be careful, okay?
Daniel: Don't worry!

Asking Daniel to fix the picture frame:

Sean can ask Daniel to fix the crooked picture frame next to the deer head.

Sean: Hey, man. Can you... fix this frame, up there?

Daniel: Easy! Let's see... Peeerfect...

Daniel uses his powers to straighten the picture frame.

Sean: Nice! That thing was killing me.

Asking Daniel to lift the rock in the aquarium:

Sean: Hey! Can you power lift that rock? So I can see the fish?

Sean: Hey, Daniel! Can you... show me the fish?

Daniel: Easy! Just watch...

Using his powers, Daniel lifts the rock. The fish swims around.

Daniel: See? Hello, little guy!

Sean: Whoah! He's beautiful...

Asking Daniel to repair the ship in a bottle:

Sean: Hey, do you think you can fix that?

Daniel: Gee, that's pretty small. Let me try.

Using his powers, Daniel successfully repairs the ship. The fixed sail has "Karen" written on it.

Daniel: I did it! Hey! Check out the sail. So this was Mom's ship?

Sean: I don't know, man. I guess.

Sean (inner monologue): Kinda wish I didn't see it now. So weird they kept this around...

If Sean leaves the living room and enters again through the hallway, Daniel will scare him.

Daniel: Careful! Sean!!

A tiki mask flies in front of Sean.

Sean: Shit!

Daniel: Got you!

Sean: Seriously, man!

Daniel: Chicken!

Daniel: Pussy!

...

Sean goes to the backdoor.

Sean: Daniel, you ready? We can go out, now.
Daniel: Yes! Wait for me!

Sean: Okay, time to burn off some calories, what do you say?
Daniel: Haha! Yes!

Daniel sits down and puts on his boots. Sean opens the backdoor, and they go outside.

Backyard[]

Daniel: Aawwww! Man, finally! Feels so good to be outside. Reminds me of the cabin. Right? Aowwwwwww!

Sean: Owwoooooo!
Daniel: Watch out for the pack!

Sean: Sssshhhh! What did Claire say?

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Daniel: Oops! You're right. Sorry!

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Daniel: Who cares what the old bat said...

Daniel: Watch out for the pack!

Sean (inner monologue): This place is actually kinda nice... Wonder what it's like in the summer.

If Sean looks at Chris' treehouse behind the fence:

Sean (inner monologue): So that's the tree house Stephen helped out with! Pretty awesome...

Sean (inner monologue): Whoah. Looks pretty awesome! Lucky kid...

...

Daniel: Uhh... I ate too fast...

Sean: As usual, dude.

Daniel explores around, running through the snow and looking at the Christmas decorations.
Eventually, he heads towards the fence to examine the treehouse:

Daniel: Check it out! Cool!

Daniel runs towards the shed, stands by the window, and stands on his tiptoes, jumping occasionally:

Daniel: I wonder what's inside. Maybe there's a freesbee... Sean? Can we open the shed now? Come on! I'm freezing! Boring...

...

Sean takes out the key to the shed and tries to unlock the door.

Sean: Get ready for Storage Wars...

Daniel: What's wrong?

Sean: Frozen shut! Of course...

The camera cuts to Chris running to his treehouse.

Daniel: Sean, look!

Daniel watches as Chris climbs up the steps. One of the steps breaks and Chris starts to fall, but Daniel quickly extends his hand and uses his powers to stop him from hitting the ground. Sean pushes Daniel's arm down and Chris gently lands on the ground.

Sean glares at Daniel for a moment. They both look over to see Chris examining his hands. Daniel walks closer to the fence and waves, and Sean follows, also waving. Chris waves back.

Chris: Hmmm... uh... Did you see that?

Sean and Daniel walk closer to the fence.
Sean: Yeah... We did... It looks like you're okay, though...
Daniel: You were almost floating!
Chris: I-I was... I was! I could feel myself in the air... It-it was awesome...

Sean and Daniel walk closer to the fence.
Sean: See what? We just got here... Are you okay?
Daniel: Yeah, I didn't see anything either!
Chris: Oh... Okay, I just fell down... into the snow... Huh, Dad says I'm kinda clumsy...

Daniel: That's an awesome costume...

Daniel: That t-shirt is wicked!

Daniel: Who's your favorite superhero? I love...

Chris and Daniel: Power Bear!

Chris: Oh man, I have the Mega Power Bear! You should check it out!

Daniel: So cool! I've got the chibi Power Bear, the talking one!
Chris and Daniel: NO ONE CAN DEFEAT JUSTICE!

Daniel: Dude, that's so cool!

Charles runs up to Chris, bending down and putting his hands on his shoulders.

Charles: Chris, oh god... Look, I am so sorry, are you okay?

They hug.

Chris: Dad, I'm fine! I promise!

Charles: Are you sure? Listen, I shouldn't have...

Charles looks over and notices Sean and Daniel. He stands up and puts his arm around Chris protectively.

Charles: Do you know them?

Chris: It's-it's okay, Dad, they're cool! He loves superheroes! Even Power Bear!

Daniel smiles.

Charles: Ahh... gotcha... Hey, there... Are you staying with the Reynolds?

Sean: Oh... Uh... Yeah. They're our grandparents...

Sean: Uh, yeah... But not for long. We're just passing by.

Charles: I see... Oh jeez, Chris... you don't have any damn shoes on. I'm sorry, buddy, let's get you inside...

Chris: I, uh... Yeah, okay Dad...

Charles: Thanks, guys... Oh, and...uh... if Claire asks, tell her everything is fine...

Sean: Sure... No problem.
Charles: Cool. See you around, then.

Sean: Is it... Really?
Charles: Uh, nevermind. See you around!
Sean: Sure...

Chris climbs onto Charles' back.

Chris: Thanks, guys... See you later...

Daniel: Yes we will!

Sean and Daniel wave as Charles walks away, carrying Chris on his back. Sean nudges Daniel.

Sean: Daniel! Did you forget everything about the rules already?

Daniel: Sorry, Sean... Did you want me to let him fall? Really?

Sean: I know you only wanted to help... But it's too dangerous... For both of us.
Daniel: Whatever... Rules are boring...
Sean: Yeah! But it'll be worse than boring if we get busted out here! Come on, Daniel... Stephen already saw you using your powers!

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 5))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 5))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 5))

Daniel: (sighs) Okay... I'll be super careful... Swear...

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 5))

Daniel: (irritated) Fine... I'll be careful. I'll never help anybody again! Okay?

Sean: No, you... You did the right thing. But listen... We can't let anybody know... We have to keep a low profile out here...
Daniel: (frowning) He's like my age... I bet you would have done the same exact thing... Don't be mad...
Sean: I'm not mad, dude. It's... It's over.

Sean: Daniel! Remember that we're hiding out... So no training and no showing off your power... From now on, you stick with me all the time... Okay?

They playfully push each other as they walk towards the shed, laughing.

Bending Laws[]

Waking Up[]

Beaver Creek, Oregon - The Next Morning

Sean is lazing in bed, and wakes up to a message on the Etch-a-Sketch: I AM AT THE NEIGHBORS.

Sean: Fuck! That kid never listens!

Sean gets dressed then heads outside their room.

Sean: Claire? Stephen? Anybody home?

Sean (inner monologue): Well... looks like I'm home alone. Oh, right... Sunday morning. Claire and Stephen must be at church.

Sean (examining the note): Well... I guess they won't be back for... at least two hours. Maybe I could... use Stephen's laptop...? It's been ages since I've had news from the real world.

Sean can choose to leave, use the laptop, or use the phone to call Lyla.

After logging into social media and checking Lyla's page:

Sean (inner monologue): I should really call Lyla to check on her.

Optional Phone Call to Lyla[]

Sean picks up the home phone.

Sean (inner monologue): (sighs) Just a quick call can't hurt us.

(Sean logged into his social media)

Sean (inner monologue): I need to know if Lyla's okay.

Lyla: Yes?!
Sean: Lyla? Hey. It's Sean...
Lyla: Holy shit. No way...

How are you?
Are you mad?
How are you?

Sean: How are you?
Lyla: (with irony) Wow... You know. Been better.

Are you mad?

Sean: Are you... mad at me...?
Lyla: No! I'm not mad, asshole!

Lyla: I mean. You literally hung up on me! Sean! It's been weeks! How could you cut me off like that?
Sean: Lyla, I'm so sorry... We had to hide out for a while... Plus, I ditched my phone!
Lyla: Never heard of pay phones? I had to lie to the police for you, for fuck's sake! They grilled me for hours, after your last call!

I knew it!
I'm sorry.
I knew it!

Sean: I knew I shouldn't have called... Fuck! And I'm doing it again... Sorry, I... I'll go, now...
Lyla: NO! Don't hang up on me Sean. Don't you dare do it again.

I'm sorry.

Sean: I'm so sorry. Thank you, so much. I don't want you to get into any more trouble, because of me. I better go.
Lyla: No! Please... don't. Do not hang up on me! Not this time, dude...

Lyla: Talk to me. Please. How are you? How's Daniel?
Sean: We're all good, Lyla. Better than we've been for ages... I swear.
Lyla: Okay... Now, where the hell are you?!

Oregon.
Somewhere safe.
Oregon.

Sean: We're in... Oregon.

Somewhere safe.

Sean: Somewhere safe... Don't worry.

Sean: Let's say... We found some help. For now.
Lyla: Really? That's all I wanted to hear. Sean... I kept seeing all these... awful things happen to you!
Sean: I know. I'm sorry. Please, tell me about you. About high school. Anything... other than this fucking mess.

How's the gang?
How's Jenn?
How's the gang?

Sean: Like... How is the gang?
Lyla: Well, the guys are fine. Adam is all about this new game...
Sean: Fuck... I miss our LAN parties...
Lyla: They miss you, Sean... Ellery's now the captain of the track team. They're kicking ass... Considering they lost their best runner.
Sean: Sure... I'm a pro runner now...

How's Jenn?

Sean: Like... How's Jenn? She texted me after... Well... She said her parents told her never to contact me again.
Lyla: That figures... I don't... hang out with her anymore. She ended up dating Derek... But she's way too cool for him. It's not gonna last.
Sean: Like I give a shit now...

Sean: What about... Lyla the love witch? Seeing someone?
Lyla: No way! I'm way too busy trying not to lose my shit over you and Daniel! I've been really worried Sean. I'm on medication... I couldn't sleep anymore.
Sean: Fuck. You're gonna be okay, Lyla. So are we. But you have to be strong.

We'll see each other again.
I'll call you back.
We'll see each other again.

Sean: We will see each other again. We just have to wait till this blows over... and they forget about us.

I'll call you back.

Sean: Listen, I'll call you back. As soon as I can.

Lyla: You promise?
Sean: It might be a while... but I'll try. When I can.
Lyla: Thank you for calling, Sean. You literally saved my day.
Sean: It was so cool to hear your voice, Lyla. I... I gotta go look for Daniel now, but... I'm glad I called you.
Lyla: Oh man... I miss you guys so much... You better take care of yourself... and my baby boy. Give him a big hug for me...
Sean: I will. You take care too, okay? Seriously... Love you, Lyla.
Sean puts the phone down.
Sean (inner monologue): Fuck. I really miss her... Stop thinking about that. Time to go get Daniel.

Yu-jin: Hello?
Sean: Hum... Mrs Park?
Yu-jin: Yes?
Sean: Could I... talk to Lyla, please?
Yu-jin: Who's asking?

Sean.
Adam.
Sean.

Sean: It's... Sean.
Yu-jin: Sean?! Sean Diaz?!
Sean: Yeah. Is Lyla there? Can I talk to her, please?
Yu-jin: (bitter) No, you can't.
Sean: Sorry... What?
Yu-jin: She's not here. She's in Bellevue. In a clinic.

A clinic?
Had an accident?
A clinic?

Sean: Wait... A clinic? Is she all right?!
Yu-jin: No, she's not. She's... having a severe depressive episode.

Had an accident?

Sean: Was she in an accident?
Yu-jin: God, no! She was very upset about what happened with you. She couldn't sleep anymore. She's been frozen with anxiety.

Yu-jin: We had to have her admitted last week. To give her some time to rest.
Sean: Oh my... No... Lyla...
Yu-jin: You hurt many people, Sean... Now, please. Don't call here again. I will have to tell the police.
Sean puts the phone down, wordless.

Adam

Sean: It's uh... Adam.
Yu-jin: Oh... sweetie... you know Lyla's not here. She's not back from the clinic yet.
Sean: Oh? Yeah... The clinic?
Yu-jin: You know, in Bellevue. Where you visited her last week... The doctors did say she might be coming home next month... We hope...
Sean: So... She's okay?!
Yu-jin: She... She's better. Getting better at least. But she keeps asking me about the Diaz boys... Always. It's time for her to let them go... They're not coming back... And they shouldn't. Anyway, sorry I got carried away... I will definitely let Lyla know you called.
Sean panics.
Sean: Wait! Mrs Park! I...
Yu-jin: Goodbye, Adam. Thank you for calling.
Sean puts the phone down.
Sean (inner monologue): Why did I lie? She must have recognized my voice. Fuck, Lyla... What kind of friend am I? I can't be there for her... Stop thinking about that. Time to go get Daniel.

Sean heads outside and walks over to the Eriksen's home.

Sean (inner monologue): Okay. Let's get this brat back home now. ... Why does Daniel never listen...?

Sean (inner monologue): Maybe I'm too soft with him...

Sean (inner monologue): Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

Sean (inner monologue): Dude, move your ass! Who knows what Daniel is doing over there! Stephen and Claire are gonna freak if they realize he went to the Eriksens.

At the Eriksens[]

Sean enters from the front door. Chris is 'levitating' his toys in the air, Daniel subtly controlling the toys with his hand.

Sean: Daniel? What is going on here?!

The toys drop to the ground.

Daniel: Sean! Wait! Don't freak out! I can explain!

Chris: Let me tell him... Sean, I know it sounds crazy... but... I have a superpower. You saw me yesterday... I know you did. I was flying! I can move things... objects... with my mind!

Sean crosses his arms and stares at Daniel, who tries to avoid eye contact.

Sean: Oh! A superpower... Really?

Chris: YES!

Sean: Well... that's pretty cool, Chris... So you're like a superhero?
Chris: I'm Captain Spirit! I can bend any matter to my will! But that's my secret identity, so you can't tell anybody!
Sean looks at Daniel.
Sean: Oh, I can keep a secret, Captain Spirit...

Sean: Great. And you don't realize what that implies? Everyone can see you from the outside! You could get in real trouble. This is dangerous. Do you understand?
Daniel: Yes! We hear you... We promise to be careful...
Chris: This is just our secret, okay? Nobody can find out that I'm the real Captain Spirit!
Sean: And nobody will... Ever.

Chris: Now you're an official member of the Spirit Squad! If you betray us, I'll disintegrate you! Nah, just kidding. Oh yeah, we need a... Team signal!

Daniel: Totally! I'm gonna be... Superwolf! What's your super name, Sean?

Sean: How about... "The Silver Runner?" Cool? Cool, right?
Daniel: Not bad! That's true you're a great runner...

Sean: I don't know, something cool, like... "El Diazblo Loco!"
Chris: Mmmmmm... Sounds like a super villain's name, but... okay!

Sean: How about if I'm like... the mentor... Like... "Professor D..." or... something...
Daniel: Hmmm... Yeah... We'll figure out another cool name for you.

Sean: I... don't need a super name, I'm... already awesome!
Daniel: Awww, come on! We're gonna call you... Super Lame... if you don't wanna choose.

Charles returns from the bathroom.

Charles: Okay guys, I think we're ready to roll... Uh, excuse me... Who are you?

Sean: I'm Sean.

Charles: Oh yeah, sorry, man... You're here for Daniel. Hey, let's make it official. I'm Charles Eriksen.

Sean: Nice to meet you.

Charles: Hope you know that Daniel and Chris are a dangerous team... We'd better watch out, or they're gonna take over the world...

Sean: Yeah... They share a lot of things... As thick as thieves...

Chris: Can we go get the Christmas tree now? We're both ready to fly!

Charles: Yes, yes, yes... the team has been waiting too long! You should come along too. There's nothing going on over here...

Daniel: YES! Can't wait to see all the decorations! And Sean! We could buy Christmas presents for Grandma and Grandpa...!

Sean: Uh... Okay... Sure... I'll go with you guys...
Daniel: Really?!
Chris: Yeaaaah!
Daniel: Cool!
Charles: (smiling) "Yeah, I just wish Chris and Daniel were excited about going!"

Sean: Well... They'll worry if we leave the house... And remember you still have to get better, Daniel...

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Daniel: Sean, come on... You know I haven't done anything fun since I got sick... It's the first time I've been out for daaays!

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Daniel: Sean, come on! Why do you always have to be the party pooper? It's the first time I've been out for daaays!

Charles: We won't be gone for long, the market's only a few miles away... Anyway, they'll be at the service for at least another hour...
Chris: Yeah, Sean, I can show Daniel around... and you can come with us! Please say yes!
Daniel: Please, please, please...
Sean: (shakes his head and sighs) Okay... You win... (smiles) not a fair fight... So let's go...
Daniel: Yes!
Chris: Yeah!
Charles: (smiling) See? Dangerous...

Charles: Okay, team, I... Give me a time out to clean up the backseat. I'll honk when I'm done.

Daniel: Ooo... uh... Can I use the bathroom?

Chris: Of course! You'll see my comic books. (turning to Sean) I'm glad you're coming too... Hey, you wanna see my toys?

Daniel heads to the bathroom, while Sean and Chris sit in front of Chris' toys.

Daniel (from the bathroom): Oh! Score! The new Hawt Dawg Man!

Conversation with Chris[]

Chris: Since you're a new member of the team, you have to know everybody... These are Captain Spirit's friends! And his enemies...

Sean: Dude! That's pretty cool...

Chris: Can you guess who are the good guys and the villains?

Sean: Let's see...

The toys in front of Sean are the same as those first seen in Captain Spirit: Pirate, Insectoid, Warrior, Car, Dino and Bear. You can pick Hero or Villain for each toy and they will be moved to one side. Once all toys are placed to one side, Sean can confirm his answers with Chris.

Chris (as Sean picks): Interesting...
Chris (as Sean picks): Hmm... Okay...
Chris (as Sean picks): The bad guys... The good guys... Not that easy, right?
Chris (as Sean picks): Careful, it may be tricky!
Chris (as Sean picks): Look closely.
Chris (as Sean picks): You suuuuure?

Sean: Okay. How did I do?

Note: Bear, Pirate, Dino and Warrior are Heroes. Insectoid and Car are Villians.
Chris: You're good! You guessed all right! You deserve a little reward... It's an interstellar traveler. I gave the other one to Daniel.
Sean: Wow! Thanks, Chris... That's awesome!
Chris: After all, you're part of the team now.
Note: Chris now trusts Sean.

Chris: Not bad! You're almost right... It was a bit tricky.

Chris: You're not a very good observer...

Chris: Okay. Let me introduce them to you!

An instrumental of Death with Dignity from The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit begins to play. Bear, Pirate, Dino and Warrior are shown.

Chris: This is Team Spirit! The good guys. There's the Forest Warrior, Power Bear, Mar-T Rex, and Sky Pirate.

Sean: So... who are the bad guys?

Insectoid and Car are shown.

Chris: That's Noctarious and the Shark-Stinger. There's also Snowmancer, but he's out in the garden.

(Chris blew up Snowmancer in Captain Spirit)

Chris: Captain Spirit kinda... took care of him. He might need a little surgery now...

Chris: But they're all working for Mantroid, who's the REAL super villain!

Chris: You should see his evil planet!
Sean: Why doesn't Captain Spirit stop him?
Chris: He tried... but failed. That's why he needs Superwolf, you know, Daniel, to prevent Mantroid from hurting other people!

Sean: So... where is he?

Chris: Hiding out on his evil planet, waiting for me... But Captain Spirit and Superwolf will make sure he doesn't hurt anyone!

Sean: Yeah... strength in numbers. Sounds like Mantroid is in trouble.

Chris: Just wait until he sees what Captain Spirit can do now...

Sean: Yeah... about that...

Sean: Umm... Does your dad know about any of this? Did he... see something... yesterday?
Chris: No. He didn't see anything and... The power didn't work yesterday... after I fell... I... must have been too tired...
Sean: Okay. Good... Uh, I mean... He could be pretty disturbed if he knew...

Sean: Aren't you afraid...? Maybe... it's not a good idea to disclose all your powers like this... That Mantroid guy could be... watching you, you know...
Chris: Even better. So he'll know he'd better stay away from us!
Sean: Anyway, you shouldn't let anyone know about this. Not even your father...

Chris: I'm... definitely not telling Dad. I don't want to freak him out. He's worried about other stuff anyway...

Sean: Well... Your dad is cool. He... totally hooked you up with that tree house.
Chris: Yeah, he let Stephen build it for me! It's my Flying Fortress!

(Discussed Chris' drawing with Stephen)
(Didn't discuss the drawing)
(Discussed Chris' drawing with Stephen)

Sean: Oh, yeah... I saw that drawing you made of him. With that... badass blazing sword.
Chris: I made it to thank him. For making the tree house.

(Didn't discuss the drawing)

Sean: I bet. There's no stopping him from building things...

Chris: Well, Captain Spirit had to help him, of course!

Needs fixing now.
Of course.
Needs fixing now.

Sean: Well... the Flying Fortress needs fixing now...
Chris: Yeah... That sucks. Dad couldn't fix it yesterday... He was not feeling well... He told me he'll do it when we're back from the market.

What happened?
That's cool.
What happened?

Sean: Chris... It's... none of my business, but... are you and your dad okay?
Chris: Uh, what do you mean?

Chris: He's just... He... has a hard time being on his own... that's all.

It's gonna be okay.
I understand.
It's gonna be okay.

Sean: Chris... I know life can get pretty tough. Trust me. But... you'll be okay. You're an awesome kid.

I understand.

Sean: Well... I can understand that... But I hope you know... you're not alone.

Chris: Thanks, Sean. But I don't feel scared anymore. I have the power... And I have Daniel!

That's cool.

Sean: That's cool.

Of course.

Sean: Obviously. All hail Captain Spirit, the first and only... carpenter vigilante!

Sean: Chris... It's... none of my business, but... are you and your dad okay?
Chris: Uh, what do you mean?

Chris: He's just... He... has a hard time being on his own... that's all.

It's gonna be okay.
I understand.
It's gonna be okay.

Sean: Chris... I know life can get pretty tough. Trust me. But... you'll be okay. You're an awesome kid.

I understand.

Sean: Well... I can understand that... But I hope you know... you're not alone.

Chris: Thanks, Sean. But I don't feel scared anymore. I have the power... And I have Daniel!

(If Chris didn't tame the Water Eater in Captain Spirit)

Daniel (from the bathroom): Ah! Too cold!
Chris: Sorry, the Water Eater is still broken!

Leaving for the Market[]

Charles honks.

Sean: There's the signal. Come on, Daniel.

Note: If Daniel learned to steal in "Roads" and wasn't reprimanded, he steals Chris' submarine toy (it appears in his backpack).

Daniel runs out of the bathroom.

Daniel: Hey! Pro tip: don't... go in there.

Sean: Okay, Squad, let's roll!

Chris and Daniel climb in the back of Charles's truck.

Sean: You need my jacket? I don't want you catching another cold...

Daniel: No, I'm good. Thanks...

Charles: And don't be waving your arms around when I'm driving, okay?

Sean: Yeah. Remember, Daniel, don't mess around...

Daniel: All right. Jeez...

(If Chris cleared the porch in Captain Spirit)

Charles: Thanks for clearing the snow from the porch! You're... You're awesome!
Chris: You're welcome, Dad!

Charles pulls out of the driveway and they head to the Christmas Market together.

Christmas Spirit[]

Arrival[]

Charles drives his truck across Beaver Creek, during which Finn can be seen walking by a park. They pull up to the Christmas Market.

Charles: Okay buddy, you're ready?

Chris: Yeaaahhh!

Sean hoists Daniel out of the back of the truck. Daniel tries to leave, but Sean grabs his arm before he can.

Daniel: Hey!

Sean: You guys go ahead and we'll come back to meet you, okay? Brothers meeting!

Charles: Sure.

Daniel: But--

Charles: Don't get lost!

Charles leads Chris away towards the market as Sean walks up to Daniel.

Sean: Dude, what the fuck are you doing? I can't believe it... How many times do we have to keep going over the rules?

Daniel: "Don't show the power"-- I know... But Chris thinks he can do all this cool stuff. I wish he could... He reminds me of Noah. I just miss having friends, Sean...

Sean: I know, man... But you can't lie to friends about something like this... He could get in trouble thinking he can make shit fly... Or he could get hurt.
Daniel: So you want me to tell him the truth...?
Sean: Well, I don't want you to lie anymore... You don't have to tell him everything, but... Don't let him think he has magic powers, okay? You swear?
Daniel: Okay, I swear...

Sean: Listen, I understand, but we have to be extra careful out here... You can't let people see you... You know the rules...
Daniel: Yes, I know the rules... But I am careful... I only do things when it's me and Chris... Nobody sees us...
Sean: Yeah, nobody, but me. What if it was Chris' dad? Or Grandma? Or... a cop.. or...
Daniel: Okay, okay... I get it. But I'm careful...
Sean: That's not enough. You have to be extra, extra careful.
Daniel: All right, I swear I will!

Sean: Deal. I'm counting on you, enano.

Daniel: Can I go see Chris now?

Sean: Yeah, let's go. But don't forget what I said.

Sean and Daniel enter the market.

Daniel: Woaw... So many trees!

Daniel: Ugh... They look like giant cocoons... Creepy...

Daniel: Mmmm... I bet Dad didn't know about this...

Daniel: Is this what they wrap the tree with?

Sean: Yeah... I should put you in!

Daniel: Shut up!

Daniel: You coming, Sean?

Sean: Don't worry, I'll be around!

Conversation Between Chris and Daniel

Chris: Hey! What's up?

Daniel: Uuh, nothing! I'll tell you later... So, what do we do?

Chris: We have to pick the one we like! Can Daniel help, Dad?

Charles: Of course he can!

Chris: Awesome! Come on, no time to lose!

Charles: Okay, just pick the one you like and come get me. Deal?

Chris: Deal!

Daniel: I've never been on such a dangerous mission...

Chris: Yeah... These wild trees are just waiting to eat us!

Daniel: We'll have to tame the one we want!

Chris and Daniel will walk around the market, examining different trees.

Chris: What about this one?

Daniel: Mmmmm... Too thin.

Chris: You're right, we need a strong tree to protect our base from evil elves!

Daniel: Let's look at another one! This one is cool!

Chris: I agree! Adding it to the top 3 list...

Daniel: Let's look at another one! Better be careful... Snow spiders must be lurking around...

Chris: Don't worry... Captain Spirit will crush them with his mind!

Daniel: Let's look at another one! This one looks like a cactus... A snow cactus!

Chris: A snactus!

Daniel: Let's look at another one!

Chris: Good shape... Pretty thick... Oooo, broken branch! Refused!

Daniel: This one's... All dry...

Chris: Mmmm... Not bad...

Daniel: They kind of all look the same...

Chris: I think this one is too big... There are so many trees, how are we gonna find the one?

Chris and Daniel sit down on some cinder blocks.

Chris: Hey... You think you can come to our house for Christmas?

Daniel: Mmmm... I'll have to ask Grandma and Grandpa...

Chris: Maybe we can do it all together? I'm sure Dad would agree!

Daniel: It'd be awesome!

(If Chris tried a cigarette in Captain Spirit)

Chris: Hey, have you ever tried a cigarette?
Daniel: What? No! Sean smokes sometimes, and it stinks!
Chris: I smoked one of my Dad's yesterday, and it was THE WORST!
Daniel: You're crazy!

Chris: So what's your best score on Mustard Party 2?

Daniel: About 800, I think!

Chris: Whoah, cool! Mine's a bit lower...

Chris: I beat you! I beat you!

(If Sean let Daniel play on the phone in "Roads")

Daniel: I was about to beat it a few weeks ago, but... Sean's phone ran out of battery...

Optional Conversation with Charles

Sean: Hey!

Charles: Hey, Sean! What's up?

Sean: Just... wanted to thank you for bringing us out here.

Charles: Hey, no problem! I hope you'll find what you're looking for, it's kind of a tiny place.

Sean: It's perfect, don't worry!

Charles: Yeah, I sure need it. It's not an easy task with this guy. Come get me when you're done!

Sean: I will!

Conversation Between Charles and Nick

Charles: Nick!

Nick: Jesus, Chuck! Haha, how are you doing?

Charles: Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, better, actually. It feels good to see you, man. How ya been?

Nick: Busy, you know? The store, the town council, the dogs...

Charles: How's the... pack?

Nick: Too good! Taking over the house, little by little... Gonna have to move in the garage if they don't stop!

Charles: Beasts...

Nick: What about you? Sam tells me you're doing, uh, great work.

Charles: I try... It's... been rough, but it helps. Can't thank you enough.

Nick: Hey, don't worry. That's what friends are for, right?

Charles: Right. Means a lot. Still.

Nick: I know, I know. Um... How's Chris?

Charles: He's... strong, as usual. Way stronger than me... He's really gonna be somebody, I can tell.

Nick: I'm... sure he will. With his Dad's help.

Charles: I'm trying, Nick. I swear.

Nick: I know... Well, it was nice talking to you. Gotta go look around, but see you around, 'kay?

Charles: Yeah, definitely. Take care, Nick.

Optional Conversation with Male Vendor[]

Sean: Hey, hi.

Vendor: Good morning, young man! It's nice to see a new face in this old town!

Sean: Thanks! It's a... super cool market you've got here...

Vendor: Small towns are the best for Christmas! Who are you staying with?

Sean: Oh, I'm at the... Eriksens?
Vendor: Oooo, you're with Charles?! That's good. Didn't know he had any relatives...

My uncle.
Not related.
My uncle.

Sean: He's, uuuh... my uncle, but... Long time no see, you know?
Vendor: Sure, sure... I thought it was just him and his son. Glad he's got you around now.

Not related.

Sean: Oh! We're not related... My brother Daniel is friends with Chris...
Vendor: Gotcha. I like his son... Funny little guy. Despite everything...

Sean: Uh... the Reynolds?
Vendor: Everybody knows Stephen! He was Beaver Creek's fire chief years ago... You're not his grandson, are you?

Yes, I am.
Just a family friend.
Yes, I am.

Sean: Yes, I am.
Vendor: Aww, that's great! He told me about you, but, um, that was a long time ago... It's been a few years, right?
Sean: Yeah... Family stuff...

(Haven't purchased anything yet)
(Already purchased something)
(Haven't purchased anything yet)

Vendor: I bet... Anyway, look around. And if you find anything you want, I'll give you the special Reynolds' Discount!
If Sean looks at the vendor's items again, all of them are $1 off their original prices.

(Already purchased something)

Vendor: Well, I'm glad to meet our fire chief's grandson! I would've given you a discount if I'd known sooner. So here you go.
Sean: Whoa... thanks!

Just a family friend.

Sean: Oh, no, he's just... an old family friend.
Vendor: Gotcha.

Sean: We're just passing through, so, uh... At a... motel.
Vendor: Well, I saw you speaking with Charles, so I thought...

My uncle.
Not related.
My uncle.

Sean: He's, uuuh... my uncle, but... Long time no see, you know?
Vendor: Sure, sure... I thought it was just him and his son. Glad he's got you around now.

Not related.

Sean: Oh! We're not related... My brother Daniel is friends with Chris...
Vendor: Gotcha. I like his son... Funny little guy. Despite everything...

Vendor: Anyway, welcome to Beaver Creek. If you need anything, just holler.

Sean is able to purchase one of the vendor's gifts.

Sean: Hey, uh... Can I get one of these... bears?
Vendor: Sure! Our bestseller this year!

Sean: Hey, uh... I'd like one of those... snowmen things?
Vendor: Of course! They're handmade by local kids!

Sean: Hey! Can I have one of these... beavers? The tiny ones.
Vendor: Yep! They're made by our beloved carpenter, Rose!

(If Sean told the vendor about being Stephen's grandson)

Vendor: And, of course, you get the friendly price. To celebrate the Reynolds reunion!
Sean: Whoah! That's really cool... Thanks!

Sean: Here you go...
Vendor: Thanks! Anything else?
Sean: No, I'm good!
Vendor: Have a nice day then!
Sean: Yeah, you too. Thanks!

Sean: Uuh... hold on. I'd like to take a look around first.
Vendor: No problem. Hit me up if you... need anything.
Sean is given the option to purchase once more.

Optional Conversation with Female Vendor[]

Sean: Hi! This is a... nice collection!

Vendor: Why, thank you! I make them all myself!

Sean: Whoah! Must be a lot of work!

Vendor: Definitely too much for the money they get me, yes...

Sean: How come?
Vendor: Well, people certainly don't buy as much handmade Christmas decorations as they used to.

Sean: Do you... have another job?
Vendor: Obviously. Wouldn't last a month if I relied on handcrafts to make a living...

Vendor: The mall has ruined every single shop in town. Can't do anything about it. And people seem surprised unemployment is going through the roof.

Sean: I understand... That's just the way it's... evolving, you know?
Vendor: Trust me, I know... I just wish this evolution could benefit everyone.

Sean: I know, it sucks... But we can't do anything about it, right?
Vendor: I like to think there's always a solution, however frustrating that thought can be.

Vendor: Anyway. You've got better things to do than listening to an old lady ranting about capitalism, right?

Sean: It's cool. Don't worry.

Vendor: Well, thanks for hearing me out anyway. You have a nice day!

Sean is able to purchase one of the vendor's wreaths ($10) if he has already found a gift for Daniel.

Buy

Sean: Can I get this one?
Vendor: Of course sweetie!

Pay.
Change.
Pay.

Sean: Here...
Vendor: Thanks a lot!

Change.

Sean: Can I check something else before?
Vendor: Sure!
Sean walks away.

Sketching the Market[]

As Sean finishes his drawing, Chris walks up behind him.

Chris: What are you drawing? Whoah, it's so cool! Are you like, a professional?

Sean: (laughing) Nah. More like the opposite.

Chris: You could draw comic books! The awesome adventures of... Captain Spirit and Superwolf!

Sean: Pretty rad for a Hollywood name. Yeah... I'll think about it!

Chris: Hey, can you add something funny to your drawing?

Sean: Funny? Like what?

Chris: I don't know! Something cool!

Sean (inner monologue): Okay... Big question: zombies, or UFO?

Sean: What about... a giant spaceship, flying over Beaver Creek?
Sean adds some cartoon aliens and a spaceship to the drawing.

Sean: What about... a zombie attack... on Beaver Creek?
Sean adds some cartoon zombies to the drawing.

Chris: I hope I can draw like you one day...

Sean: I'm sure you will, man.

Sean looks over his drawing as Chris walks away, then gets up from the picnic table.

Conversations with Cassidy and Finn[]

Sean can find a street singer, Cassidy, strumming on her guitar at the back of the market. If he chooses to listen to her play, she'll pause for a moment upon noticing him before singing a rendition of First Aid Kit's "I Found a Way". After she completes it, Sean has the option of speaking to Cassidy.

(If Sean listens to the whole song)

Cassidy: Wow, you made it all the way through... Weird... You got a crush on me or somethin'?
Sean: What? No, I-- I mean, it was pretty cool, I just--
Cassidy: Relax, dude. It's cool that you listened. People are usually too busy to care.

Great voice.
Small town.
Great voice.

Sean: You have a great voice... You should be on one of those... singing shows...
Cassidy: That's kinda nice... Not really my thing though. I hate TV and... show business shit.

Small town.

Sean: This is a small town. They're not used to having street artists... And stuff...
Cassidy: Yeah, they're not used to many things... Especially seeing new faces on the street...

Sean: Well... Thanks for the music, and... Good luck.
Cassidy: See ya.

...

Sean: Hey...

(Sean listened to the full song)
(Sean didn't listen to the full song)
(Sean listened to the full song)

Cassidy: Hey... Miss me already?

(Sean didn't listen to the full song)

Cassidy: Ha! Finally someone who dares speaking with me! Hope you're vaccinated...

Sean: What? No, I mean...
Cassidy: I'm just messin' with ya... It's nice to chat for a change.

Cassidy: Found what you were looking for, city boy?
Sean: Yeah. Something for my little brother.
Cassidy: You... bought your brother something... out here? (snickering) Damn... poor kid. Sorry, I'm... just a grumpy old gal.

Cassidy: Me and my friends have been... Crashing here for the week... Nobody... gives a shit about us... I can tell you're not from around here.

Sean: No, no way... Just... Here for the holidays.
Cassidy: Ah! You got family.
Sean: My grandparents...
Cassidy: Gotta love the grandparents!

Sean: Now we are. Kinda.
Cassidy: That sounds... complicated. Drama?
Sean: Yeah. Lots.
Cassidy: Yeah, I hear that... Way too much...

Sean: What about you and... your friends? Road trip?

Cassidy: (laughing) Not really... We kinda hop from place to place, hunting for... little jobs...

Sean: Must be a long ride.

Cassidy: That's okay! We hop on trains. Gives us time to rest.

Sean: Man... that sounds wicked.
Cassidy: (laughing) You have no idea... It's free and so fucking fun!

Sean: Damn. That sounds kinda dangerous...
Cassidy: Not really... If you can run and jump, you're pretty much good to go!

Cassidy: Well, unless you get caught or... fall, but... we've been lucky so far. That's the best. Nobody tells us what to do. No corporation owns us...

Sean: And you get to see so many cool places...

Cassidy: Exactly! Next stop is Humboldt County, California!

Sean: (laughing) Stoner break!

Cassidy: Not even close! We actually got work over there!

Daniel runs up from behind the two.

Daniel: Sean! What are you doing? We picked a tree with Chris! It's all crooked, like an old witch! Oh, hi... who are you? Your hair looks so cool! Is it a wig?

Cassidy: Ah, well... What do you think?

Daniel: Mmmm... I don't know... But it's really cool! I'm Daniel! What's your name?

Cassidy: Hi, Daniel...

Cassidy gives Daniel a high-five and a fistbump.

Cassidy: I'm Cassidy. I dig your superhero outfit...

Daniel: I'm on a secret mission with my friend! It's very dangerous!

Cassidy: I can tell! I hope you get your mission accomplished!

They both turn towards Sean.

Cassidy: And what's your name?

Sean: Oh, uh... Sean... I... I thought I told you.

Cassidy: Now you did.

Finn walks up to Cassidy with his dog close behind.

Finn: Sorry, went through some shit with the guys... How much you make? You ready?

He turns towards the brothers.

Finn: Hello, pups...

Daniel: Oooo, is that your doggie? So cool!

Finn: Yeah, he's been through a lot... Like most of us... So we adopted him. And he stinks! Yeah, you stink and you like it, huh?

Finn bends down and pets his dog.

Cassidy: He's not the only one.

Finn: Have you checked your hair? I think it just twitched! You should keep your distance, dude.

Sean: She looks... really cool. I think.
Cassidy: See? He knows I'm clean... You're the nasty one...
Cassidy picks up her bag and starts packing it.
Finn: Yeah, you always go for those suburban boys...

Sean: Hey, never too careful! Who knows what may crawl out of there?
Cassidy: Whoa-hoa, the boys join forces! You're already perverting him, Finn!
Cassidy picks up her bag and starts packing it.
Finn: Sorry! I know suburban boys is your thing...

Cassidy: Are you kidding? You wanna talk about your scoreboard, hotshot?

Sean: Hey, no worries...

Finn: Come on, let's bail!

Cassidy: It was nice meeting you, Sean and...

Cassidy bows at Daniel as they both begin to leave.

Cassidy: ...Daniel.

Finn: Stay outta trouble, kids!

Daniel: Goodbye!

Cassidy: Hope we see you on the rails someday!

Sean: Yeah. See you around.

Daniel: That doggie was so cute... I miss Mushroom.

Sean: I miss her, too.

Altercation with Nick[]

The brothers notice as a man, Nick, starts to reprimand the two drifters.

Nick: Hey, excuse me! Dogs have to be on a leash around here. Too many strays...

Cassidy: Sorry, dude. We don't do leashes.

Nick: Well, the city does. An unleashed dog is liable to a fine, so...

Cassidy: You're gonna fine our dog? Well, that's not very nice!

Nick: Loitering is illegal, too. And you don't live here, right? Right?

Finn: Calm down, sweetie. We're allowed to visit the Christmas market. Our dog's not gonna eat you, look at him!

Nick: You better watch your mouth. You punks are always causing trouble... This is nice town, okay?

Cassidy: Jeez... Someone needs to get laid...

Finn: He's out of pills...

Nick: That's it, I'm calling the cops!

Cassidy: Oh god, he's gonna call the cops on us, Finn!

Finn: Chill out, we're leaving this shithole, anyway. You don't even have a Santa, for Christ's sake!

Cassidy: (sarcastically) Merry Christmas!

The two leave towards the parking lot as Nick crosses his arms.

Nick: Fucking parasites...

Dealing with Nick[]

Daniel: Why did they fight? I don't get why he yelled like that...

Daniel: Should we do something about it?

Daniel: We should kick his ass, Sean!

Sean: Better not get involved, man... This guy... doesn't look nice.
Daniel: You're right...

Sean: See the snow on that booth?
Daniel: Yeah? What about it?
Sean: Maybe this guy needs a shower... You know. To cool him down...
Sean walks in front of Daniel to cover him.
Daniel: (giggles) You're right! Hold on...
Sean: Careful... Careful...
Daniel: (lifting his hand and laughing) This will teach him!
The snow on top of the booth's roof falls onto Nick, and he grunts in discomfort and anger, trying to shake the snow off of him.
Sean: Nice...!
Sean and Daniel both start laughing.
Nick: Come on!
Sean looks towards him and shakes his head, amused. Nick leaves.

Daniel examines balloons:

Daniel: They're pretty...

Daniel comes up and puts his face in the hole of the panel:

Daniel: So cool!! How do I look, Sean?

Sean: Ridiculous!

Daniel: Awww, you're jealous because I'm cute! Your loss...

Daniel runs back to Charles and Chris.

Optional Conversation with Nick[]

If Sean chose not to prank him, he can go up to and have a conversation with Nick.

Sean: Hey...

Nick: Hey what? Sorry. Getting tired of these parasites, if you know what I mean...

Sean: Not really...

Nick: Just tired of lazy people, you know? Just waiting for useless governments to feed them... Hey, you look smart. You should check this out.

Nick pulls out a yellow flyer.

Nick: It's not conspiracy stuff, swear.

Sean: Hmmm. Thanks...
Sean takes the flyer and puts it into his backpack.
Nick: Glad to see some millennials who care about this country...
Sean: We care.
Nick: I don't know. I see a lot of whining snowflakes... Nobody wants to work...

Sean: Uuhh... No thanks. Sorry.
Nick: Why? Don't you care about our country's future?
Sean: Yeah... In my own way, but... Not like that...
Nick puts the flyer away.
Nick: I get it. You millennials want everything for free... That's not how we built this country!

Nick: Like those punks you were with. They're nothing but trouble. You better be careful.

Sean: I don't know... They're not hurting anyone. They live differently, that's all.

Sean: Thanks for the warning, I... I just wanted to hear the song...

(Sean donated to Cassidy)
(Sean didn't donate to Cassidy)
(Sean donated to Cassidy)

Nick: Yeah. That's how they end up getting your money...

(Sean didn't donate to Cassidy)

Nick: Yeah. Glad you didn't give 'em any cash...

Nick: It's great to live off your talents. But come on! They're not achieving anything. "Hey man, you got a dollar?" is not fighting the power. This is why our country is broken. Deadbeats...

Sean: You don't know anything about them... You're just... judging them...
Nick: No, I'm judging their actions. They don't deserve this country.
Sean: Well, it's their country, too.
Nick pokes Sean in the chest, causing him to step back.
Nick: Okay, smartass! I see where this is going! As usual. Sorry to bug you...
Sean: Hey... no worries, I don't mind talking about that stuff. Good luck with, uh... everything...

Sean: Huh. And how do you fix it?
Nick: By asking that question! And don't let the government ever stop you! Look. It's up to us to make sure our streets are clean. We, the people, have to take care of the trash, right?
Sean: I... guess.
Nick: We have to take care of our own kind first.
Nick places an arm on Sean's shoulder and shakes it.
Nick: You know?
Sean: Um... I think I do. Um, anyway, good luck with that.

Nick crosses his arms as Sean returns to wandering around the market.

Leaving the Market[]

Note: This is the moment when Daniel decides (based on what Sean has advised him and his current morality) whether he will tell Chris the truth while riding back home.

Sean walks up to the truck after getting a gift, where Charles, Chris, and Daniel are waiting.

Charles: Hey, you guys ready to go?

Sean: Yeah, all done!

Charles: Cool, hop in!

Daniel and Chris get into the truck bed as Sean and Charles climb into the front seat.

Charles: Are you having too much fun back there?

Chris: Yes!

Charles: That's what I thought...

The car pulls out of the market and drives off.

Confessions[]

Charles drives up to the Reynolds house and pulls over. Chris and Daniel jump out the back and start playing in the snow.

Charles: Looks like Daniel found a new brother...

Sean: No kidding... He dumped me like a rock...

Charles: I'm glad you two came along... It's great that Chris found a new friend out here... And looks like you did too... What's her name?

Sean: Um... Cassidy? Cassidy.
Charles: Cute name. Do you like her?

Sean: Who?
Charles: Come on, don't play me! That cutie you were talking to by the market...
Sean: Oh! Yeah. That girl.

Sean: She just... wanted some money...
Charles: Don't we all?

Sean: She was cool.

The camera moves to show Chris and Daniel having a snowball fight.

Chris: You're too quick!

Daniel: Ah! Got ya!

Charles: Anyway... It's good for me to get out too... We've had a rough time over the past couple of years... My wife, Emily... She died two years ago. Obviously, it was tough on Chris...

Sean: Shit... I'm sorry, man...

Charles: Thanks... It's been a struggle... Especially... trying to be a good dad...

Sean: You're... doing your best... Chris is awesome. And... he's got a wonderful imagination...
Charles: Thanks for saying that... Chris does have talent... he's a storyteller.

(Drew for Chris at the market)
(Didn't draw for Chris)
(Drew for Chris at the market)

Sean: Yeah. He showed up when I was drawing at the market. He gave me some tips...
(Didn't draw for Chris)

Sean: I see that... just like Daniel...

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))
(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 0))

Charles: When I look at you and Daniel... how close you two are...

(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 0))

Charles: You two seem to get along well... I mean... You really look out for him.

Charles: I realize I'm far from being up to the task. Chris deserves a real family. Anyway... I shouldn't have brought this up. Okay... Forget it...

Sean: Do you have some... kind of problems?
Charles: I'm just... not the man I was... I shouldn't even have brought this up, you know just forget it...

Sean: No worries... Didn't mean to make you feel bad...
Charles: We all have our ups and downs, right? That's how life works. Your grandparents sure did have their share of downs, too... But they're always there for us. For Chris. They seem like good people.

Sean: Chris talked to me... He said that... you sometimes lose it... When you're drunk.
Charles: Oh, fuck...

Get it together!
You should get help.
Get it together!

Sean: You should get your stuff together, man. He does deserve better.
Charles: I know...! Trust me... He even started getting himself into trouble at school. That never happened before. I know it's because of me...
Sean: Then... maybe it's time for you to take action...

You should get help.

Sean: Maybe... you should get some help... Don't handle this alone...
Charles: Shit... Maybe you're right... His grandparents... my wife's parents. They offered me their help and... they want Chris to go live with them. I haven't replied yet. Maybe I could... s-send him away for a little while. Give me time to get my shit together...
Sean: Might do him good. Yeah...

Charles: I know I gotta do better... I can't let pain define who I am. Everyone has to go through some shit... Like your grandparents for example. Life hasn't always been easy on them either. But they're always there for us. For Chris. They seem like good people.

Sean: No worries... Didn't mean to make you feel bad...
Charles: We all have our ups and downs, right? That's how life works. Your grandparents sure did have their share of downs, too... But they're always there for us. For Chris. They seem like good people.

Sean: Claire and Stephen... seemed a bit... worried about you guys...
Charles: Well... They stopped by yesterday... They really seem to care about Chris... but I'm afraid they get the wrong idea, sometimes... Claire threatens to call social services. That's true we're not your usual... pretty, happy suburban family model. But I know things haven't always been good for the Reynolds either...

Sean: No worries... Didn't mean to make you feel bad...
Charles: We all have our ups and downs, right? That's how life works. Your grandparents sure did have their share of downs, too... But they're always there for us. For Chris. They seem like good people.

Sean: Claire is... hard... Little bit of a control-freak...
Charles: I know Claire likes things to go her way... or the highway.
Sean: Yeah.

Sean: They're so nice but, yeah... They have their problems too...

Sean: Yeah, my... my mom left my dad a long time ago... she... never came back... She broke all ties with her parents, too...

Charles: Sorry for bringing that up.

Sean: It's okay. I hope they don't stress out because we haven't come back...

Charles: Yeah, we should get you two home... Don't keep them waiting.

Sean: Yeah...

Sean gets out of Charles' truck.

(Said "Chris talked to me.")

He turns around to look back at Charles.
Charles: Oh and... Uh... Thanks... for your honesty. I'll try my best to be a better... dad... for Chris.
Sean turns back to face the boys.

Daniel and Chris run up to them, the best of friends.

Charles: Hey buddy, wanna set up that Christmas tree?

Chris: Yeah!

Charles: Well, I'll get there before you with my Dadmobile!

Chris: No way you can beat Captain Spirit! See you later, Superwolf!

Chris 'flies' off towards his house, Charles steadily behind him in the car.

Screeching Tires[]

Getting into the Room[]

Sean and Daniel carefully enter the house, Sean calling ahead.

Sean: Hello! Hello? Claire? Stephen?

Daniel: Looks like Grandma and Grandpa haven't come back from church yet.

Sean: Well. At least they won't yell at us for going out...

Daniel: That was so cool to spend time with Chris at the market!

(Sean told Daniel to tell Chris the truth)

Sean: So... did you set things straight with him? Told him the truth?

(Daniel obeyed)
(Daniel disobeyed)

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, I did... He was disappointed...
Sean: Of course he was. You lied to him.

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, I did...

Daniel: Did you know Chris' mom was an artist?

Sean: I... didn't... How so?

Daniel: She drew comics! You should see her drawings, they're so cool. Just like yours!

Sean: Thanks, dude.

Daniel: Hey! Uh...

Sean: What? What is it?

Daniel: Sean... I wanna go check on the room... upstairs. I know it's Mom's. Please...

Sean: You won't give up on that, right?

Sean: Daniel, you heard Claire. They will freak out if they know we went inside.
Daniel: We won't tell them! We'll be in total stealth mode! They won't know anything if we make it quick...

Daniel: It's just... I really want to know what's inside. What kind of stuff she had. Chris had tons of things that belonged to his mom. And I have nothing! Come on, Sean... You don't even have to come with me... if you don't want to...

Sean: Fuck it. I'll come with you... So you don't make a mess and get us caught.

Sean and Daniel head upstairs and examine the locked door together.

Daniel: The door is still locked! I just... Don't get why they lock the room. What's the big deal?

Sean: (checking the door) We'll find a way to open it.

Daniel: Sean, this is super easy! I can just break the lock with my power!

Daniel: Or... I could just blow that stupid door up with my power! That looks super easy.

Sean: Yeah, I could do that with a hammer... But let's try and find the key instead, alright?

Sean starts searching for the key. He can look around the grandparents' bedroom.
In order to find it, Sean must examine the laundry basket in the bathroom twice, unless some hints were provided by the brothers.

Daniel: I'm just gonna clean up real quick.

Daniel heads to the bathroom and cleans up, then heads to the staircase to act as lookout.

Daniel: Dude, hurry... I'll stay here in case they come back.

If Sean examines the Bible in Claire's nightstand drawer:

Sean (inner monologue): Wonder what would've been different if Dad had taken us to church.

Sean (inner monologue): One hell of a bedtime story...

If Sean examines the laundry basket properly and finds the key:

Sean (inner monologue): This whole house is pretty much a huge washing-machine. Hey, I think that's the cardigan Claire was wearing yesterday! (pulls a key out) Yes!

Sean and Daniel's idle comments

Daniel: Sean, hurry up! They might come back any minute!

Sean: Yes, Daniel. I know. I can't find the fucking key! I just need five minutes.

If Sean struggles to find the key, he can talk to Daniel:

Sean: Daniel... You really think you could open this door... without doing too much damage?

Daniel: Yes! I know I can!

Note: This dialogue unlocks the option to break the door with Daniel's power.

If time begins to pass:

Daniel: Sean! I saw grandma... go into the room yesterday. It looked like... she left something there. But... then she locked the door.
Sean: Did you... see where she put the key?
Daniel: I think... she put something in her pocket...
Sean: (sighs) Yeah, of course.

Daniel: I saw grandma... coming out the room yesterday.
Sean: Did you see where she put the key?!
Daniel: No... I don't remember.
Sean: Shit. Well, thanks anyway, Daniel.

...

Sean: Okay, Daniel, think hard: what was she wearing?
Daniel: Oh... Jeez. Hmmm. I think it was that weird sweater thing...
Sean: Dude, you rock!
The key hidden in the cardigan is now findable in plain sight, without having to look at the laundry basket twice.

Sean (inner monologue): What was Claire doing in that room? Maybe she put the key in her pocket. What was she wearing yesterday?

...

Sean (inner monologue): Come on, where is this cardigan? No way she wore it to church...

Daniel: Sean! What's taking so long?!
Sean: I can't find the key, Daniel!

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Daniel: Then... search better!

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Daniel: Then... let's just... blow this stupid door!

...

Daniel: Come on, Sean! If you can't find the key... I can still use my power!

(Daniel learned to swear less)
(Daniel continues to swear a lot)
(Daniel learned to swear less)

Daniel: Sean, it's now or never!

(Daniel continues to swear a lot)

Daniel: What the fuck, Sean?! You're coming or what?

Daniel: I swear... (huffs) I'm gonna open this door without your help, if you don't hurry up!

Note: This dialogue automatically unlocks the option to break the door with Daniel's power.

Entrance method:

Sean: I found one key, so it better fit.
Daniel: Just try it!
Sean inserts the key into the door and pushes it open. He enters the room, and Daniel follows.

Sean: Fuck. Can't find that stupid key... Just go for it.
Daniel: Yes!
Sean: And don't blow apart the whole house...
Daniel holds out his hand and uses his telekinesis. The door frame is damaged from the force, and the door opens.

(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))
(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))
(Daniel has High Morality (≥ 0))

Sean: (disapprovingly) Really?
Daniel: Oops...

(Daniel has Low Morality (< 0))

Daniel: Haha!
Sean: (disapprovingly) Really?

Daniel walks into the room, followed by Sean.

Inside the Room[]

Daniel: Wow. There's not that much left. Where do you think they put the rest of her stuff?

Sean: It's her teenage room, I'm sure she... sorted through her things before leaving for Seattle. The rest is probably packed in these boxes.

Sean: Claire and Stephen must have thrown a lot of it away. The rest is probably packed in these boxes.

Daniel: They probably put everything in these boxes.

Daniel: Sean... What do you think happened to all the stuff in my room? When we left...

Sean: I'm... sure everything is still there, like we left it.
Daniel: Okay...

Sean: I don't know, enano... I wish I could answer that.
Daniel: Okay...

(No dialogue.)

Daniel picks up a book and sits down to read it. Sean can explore the room.

Sean: Okay, Daniel, you've seen everything you wanted to see? Claire and Stephen will be home soon now.

Daniel: Just... Five more minutes.

Daniel will then move to the dresser to look at the perfume.

Daniel: Mmmmh... So that's how Mom used to smell?

Sean: I don't know... I don't think she used any perfume. From what I remember.

Daniel: Oh... Okay... I miss not having any memories of her, Sean...

Daniel kneels down in front of the boxes in the corner.

Daniel: Why would they remove all the pictures...

Sean: Because they made them sad...

Daniel: Yeah... Dad did the same thing too... I've never seen any picture of Mom in our home.

Daniel, looking at the photos on the desk.

Daniel: I wish we had a picture of Mushroom... We should... Take pictures with Grandma and Grandpa... One of these days. Oh! And one with Captain Spirit too.

If Sean opened the chest, Daniel takes a look inside.

Daniel: How weird are these sunglasses!
Sean: They're not sunglasses, man. It's to look at the sun during eclipses.
Daniel: Eclipses?
Sean: You know? When the Sun... hides behind the Moon.
Daniel: Aaah yeah. That must be so cool to watch.

Daniel: Have you... Ever been hiking with Mom? Sean...?
Sean: Quite a few times, yeah. But I didn't really like that.

Daniel: Sean... Are you really mad at Mom for leaving us with Dad?

Sean: It's a bit more complicated than that, man...

Sean: Well... yeah. She abandoned me, us. What do you think?

If Sean examines the teddy bear before Daniel, he can Discuss it with him.

Sean: Hey Daniel, check this out. His name is Ulysses.

Daniel: Like... the hero?!

Sean: I guess.

Daniel: So cool!

Daniel: Hi, teddy bear!

Daniel: Hi, Ulysses!

Daniel picks up the teddy bear. He then sits down on the floor and turns it over in his hands.

Daniel: So... You were a friend of my Mommy's? I hope she took good care of you. Did she take you with her when she went on trips? I wonder why Mom loved it so much. You're not that fluffy anymore, little bear...

After Sean examines the letter on the dresser.

Sean (inner monologue): Why would Claire lock these up in here?

Sean goes to sit on the bed, Daniel follows.

Daniel: Is that from Mom? Huh? Let me see...

Sean: Daniel... Come on...

Daniel: What's it say? Read it!

Sean: Seriously, stop! Here... How about this...

Sean hands the note to Daniel.

Daniel: "I've heard the news about Seattle. Please help my boys if they come to you..." What? Why did they hide this from us?!

Sean: I don't know...

Daniel: "You can reach me at this address, it's a PO Box I use sometimes." What's a PO box?

Sean: Well, a cop out... in this case...

Daniel: "I... beg you... please... help my sons."

Sean: Oh yeah, right... Total bullshit.

Daniel: What do you mean? She cares about us!

Sean: Well... I don't...

Daniel: Maybe she... changed her mind! We could try and contact her!

Sean: You don't even know her, okay?! Don't get any wrong ideas. We should just... stick to our plan. For now...

Daniel: Can I read it again...?

Sean: Yeah... Then we gotta go...

Confrontation[]

Suddenly, Claire and Stephen enter the room.

Claire: My Goodness.

(Daniel broke the door open)

Claire: What happened...?

Sean: Shit!

Sean and Daniel quickly stand up, startled.

Claire: Excuse me, what are you both doing in here?! Except, visibly... ransacking our house while we're at church?

Sean: We were just looking... for answers... and... uh...

(Sean found the key)
(Daniel broke the door open)

Claire: Was it worth stealing my key?!

Claire: Were they really worth breaking my door open?!

Sean: Daniel just... wanted to see the room....
Daniel: Yeah, I did...
Claire: Sean... Don't shift the blame to your brother! You're supposed to be the adult!

Sean: Claire... We're sorry... But we just wanted to --
Claire: No one ever told you that everything you say before a "but" has no value? You know you shouldn't be in here!

Claire: Well, is that all you have to say?!

Stephen: Claire, please. Calm down...

Claire: No, Stephen! They went way out of line here! We specifically told you to stay out of this room!

Daniel: I just wanted to see my Mom's stuff...!

Daniel: I have the RIGHT to see my Mom's room.

Claire: This isn't her room anymore! There is nothing to see in here! It's time you learn to respect some rules!

Sean: What is that supposed to mean?
Claire: Maybe Esteban let you boys do whatever you want... but that's not how things work here...
Claire grabs the letter from Sean's hand.
Claire: We have rules and we have limits.
Daniel snatches the letter back from Claire's hand. Sean moves Daniel behind him.

You don't know Dad.
We're family.

Sean: You didn't know Dad! He raised us all on his own! Because of your daughter!
Claire: Sean... I wasn't... I didn't mean it like that...

Sean: Jeez! I thought we were family... not prisoners!
Claire: Well, maybe without us you might be! Maybe you could show a little more gratitude!

Sean: Actually, we did find something...
Daniel: Yeah! We found a new letter from my Mom! She said she wants to see us! But... You didn't even tell us!!!
Claire: She's not my daughter anymore! Or your mother! She burned all those bridges!
Claire grabs the letter from Sean's hand.
Claire: One letter doesn't change what she did to me... all of us! She is not welcome back.
Daniel snatches the letter back from Claire's hand. Sean moves Daniel behind him.

It's been 8 years.
Don't blame us.

Sean: It's been eight years... maybe it's time to move on.
Claire: Don't you dare lecture me, Sean. You don't know anything about how I feel!

Sean: Just don't blame us... for being curious about her...
Claire: But I know her better than anybody! She hasn't changed! She just feels guilty!

Sean: What's the problem, then? If there's nothing to see, why lock us out? Or get mad? It's like you're in denial... I know that Mom left us... and yeah, it made me mad... but at least we moved on...
Claire: Don't you dare lecture me, Sean. You don't know anything about how I feel!

Daniel: You... You LIED to us! We found Mommy's letter. She wants to see us!
Claire: She's not my daughter anymore! Or your mother! She burned all those bridges!
Claire grabs the letter from Sean's hand.
Claire: One letter doesn't change what she did to me... all of us! She is not welcome back.
Daniel snatches the letter back from Claire's hand. Sean moves Daniel behind him.

It's been 8 years.
Don't blame us.

Sean: It's been eight years... maybe it's time to move on.
Claire: Don't you dare lecture me, Sean. You don't know anything about how I feel!

Sean: Just don't blame us... for being curious about her...
Claire: But I know her better than anybody! She hasn't changed! She just feels guilty!

Stephen: I can't hear that...

Stephen leaves to go to his room. Claire starts to go after him, then walks back up to Sean.

Claire: Listen, Sean... I know life has been tough on you the past month... Bless your souls. And... and we put up with a lot of things...

(Told Daniel heaven wasn't real and told Claire "We never do.")

Claire: Even blasphemy...

Claire: But... that...

Claire: Going through our stuff, our personal belongings...

Claire: Breaking our door to sneak into the room...

Claire: That shows you don't respect us.

(If Sean bought a Christmas wreath)

Daniel: What?! Then why did we get you something at the Christmas market!
Claire: You mean you two went out?! Well, that's exactly what I'm saying! You can't even obey one simple rule!

Claire: We could go to jail just for helping you! This is how you pay us back? Well, things are just gonna change around here... If you want to stay.

Claire: Then you act like I'm the bad guy! After what we've done for you! I knew something like this might happen... maybe you two staying here wasn't such a good idea...

Sean: Man! I think I see why Mom left now... She couldn't put up with your stupid rules anymore!

Claire: Oh... So that's what you think? Then let me tell you something--

Stephen's Accident[]

Stephen screams from downstairs, and the clatter of furniture is heard.

Claire: STEPHEN!

They run to Stephen's room to find him trapped beneath the cupboard.

Sean: Oh, shit!

Stephen: Get...this... goddamn thing off me!

Claire: Stephen! No! Hold on, honey! We'll get it off...!

Daniel, Sean and Claire try to lift the cupboard.

Stephen: NO... stop! My legs!

Daniel steps back, looking at Sean and gesturing towards the cupboard.

Sean: Do it, Daniel! Now!
Claire: Do what? What's going on? Oh, Lord! What... What are you doing, Daniel?!
Daniel holds his hand out, concentrating on lifting the cupboard, Claire watching in shock. Sean pulls Stephen out, then Daniel drops the cupboard and falls to the floor in exhaustion.
Claire: Oh, my baby... Stephen, are you okay?
Stephen: Now I am... Thanks to Daniel... You were right, Claire. I should have fixed that cupboard months ago. I guess my laziness will get me someday...
Claire: What in the name of God was that all about? That's impossible... What are you, Daniel?!
Sean: Claire... Listen...
Stephen: They saved me, Claire. That's all that matters...
Claire: Maybe... It was a miracle... Thank you, Lord...

Sean shakes his head and gestures for Daniel to come over.
Sean: We got this! Claire! You'll have to pull him out! Hold on, Stephen! This might hurt...
Stephen: This is worse... Do it!
Sean: One... Two... Three...
Sean lifts the cupboard as Claire and Daniel begin to pull Stephen out.
Claire: Hold on...
Stephen: My leg... Ahhhh...!!!
Sean: Almost there... come on!
As soon as Stephen is pulled far enough, Sean drops the cupboard, breathing heavily.
Claire: Oh, my baby...
Stephen: Thank you... You were right, Claire. I should have fixed that cupboard months ago. I guess my laziness will get me someday...
Claire: Oh, Stephen... Please don't say that...

The door bell rings. Claire looks out the window and sees the sheriff's car.

Claire: It's the sheriff...

Sheriff: Stephen? Claire?

Claire: Sean... I didn't...

Sheriff: It's about your grandsons.

Claire: We didn't call them...

Sean: I know, Grandma...

Sheriff: Someone called us... We know they've been here.

Sheriff: Apparently... someone made a call to your grandson's friend from this house...

Sheriff: Someone logged on to your grandson's Facebook page from this house...

Sheriff: They were spotted at the Christmas market, earlier today...

Daniel: Sean... What are we gonna do?!

Stephen: Go hide in the garage!

Sean: No... No! No way! if the police searches the house, that makes the two of you accomplices.

Claire: Get your bags and go out the backdoor... I will distract him...

Sean: Really?

Stephen: Yes. Now...

Sheriff: Stephen?

Stephen: Get the hell out of here!

Sheriff: I know you're in here, your car is in the driveway...

Claire looks at the brothers teary-eyed and holds Sean's hands. Sean and Daniel begin to cry as well.

Claire: I'm so sorry... For everything... I wish we could have helped you more... I wish you could stay here with us...

Claire: Watch out for your brother, Sean...
Stephen: Yes. Be careful... We'll see you as soon as we can, okay?

Daniel: Thanks, Grandma... We're gonna miss you...
Stephen: Oh, stop that! We'll see you... as soon as we can, okay?

Sean and Daniel hug Stephen who's still lying on the floor.

Sean: Thanks for helping us... Both of you...

Claire: Oh, we love you. Now hurry up!

Running Away & Chris' Fate[]

Sean: Daniel, wait for me while I go upstairs and grab our bags!

Sean's voice fades out as the background music takes over. Sean runs upstairs and Daniel crouches as he runs to the back. Claire prepares herself before answering the door to the sheriff, and distracts him while Sean creeps downstairs and heads to the back door to meet Daniel.

Sean: Move your ass, bro...

Another cop car is pulling up to the house.

Sean: Shit! This way!

Sean and Daniel run towards Chris' yard and climb over the fence.

Chris looks up in surprise and gets up from his tree house's swing.
Chris: Daniel! What's going on? You okay?
Daniel: Hey! Chris... Yeah... no... We have to leave right now.
Chris: (sighs) I knew you wouldn't stay...
Daniel: Sorry... Wish we could.
Chris: You better come back... Hold on a second.
Chris takes off his cape and hands it to Daniel.
Chris: Here, this is your cape... You're the real superhero.
Daniel: Thanks, Chris... That's super cool... Like you.
Sean: Daniel, let's go!
Sean starts to go before Chris stops him.
Chris: Take the Troll Forest shortcut... It's right through there... Nobody will find you!
Sean: Chris, you rock...
Sean pats Chris on the head, then heads towards the shortcut.
Daniel: Goodbye, Captain Spirit...
Chris: See you around, Superwolf! The Spirit squad will stay united forever!
Chris watches Sean and Daniel run off, then heads back up to his tree house. While he runs, Daniel turns to see Chris standing in his tree house, making the Spirit squad pose.
Daniel: Whoa!
Daniel, teary-eyed, does the pose in return, then runs off with Sean.

They run past the tree house's empty swing.
Sheriff (background): Wait. A... cupboard fell on him?
Sean and Daniel run to the front of Chris' house. They stop as the second cop car pulls up at the Reynolds' place. They stare for a second before the car puts on its siren and pulls back out, speeding in the brothers' direction to their terror. Suddenly, Chris runs into the middle of the road and holds out his hand.

(Daniel has High Power Confidence (≥ 3))
(Daniel has Low Power Confidence (< 3))
(Daniel has High Power Confidence (≥ 3))

Daniel quickly steps forward, thrusts out his hand, and throws the police car off the road into a tree. Chris' smile dies as he turns around to find Daniel holding his hand out before being pulled away by Sean. He looks down at his hand, then back at the brothers, who run off.

(Daniel has Low Power Confidence (< 3))

Daniel covers his face with his hands as he watches the scene, petrified.
Daniel: Chris!!!
The cop car begins to skid, breaking and turning but ultimately being unable to avoid Chris, who is hit by the side of the car. Daniel runs forward, but Sean stops him, pulling him away. Chris lies in front of the car, unmoving.

Breaking Free[]

Sean and Daniel are sitting on a wooden log, overlooking the railroad tracks by the lake, taking a break.

Daniel: I feel like a fake superhero... Chris was so sad when he found out... That...
Sean: He had to find out anyway... Before he did something... Dangerous...
Daniel: I know... I just feel sorry for him...
Sean: Don't be. No matter what happened... I think you guys will always be friends.
Daniel: I hope...

Daniel: Man! Chris must be so mad at me... I could tell he was pissed when he saw I had the power...

(Told Daniel to stop lying to Chris)
(Chose to protect the secret)

Sean: Dude! I told you to let him know... You never listen...
Daniel: You're always telling me what to do... and you do whatever you want, so I thought...
Sean: Yeah. That's so fun for me... I'm just trying to protect us, okay?
Daniel: I know... Sorry...

Sean: He'll get over it... You saved his life...
Daniel: He... He thinks I'm a liar now...
Sean: He's a smart kid... He's not gonna stay mad. You guys are the... Spirit Squad. Right?
Daniel: I hope so...

Daniel: Why... Why did Chris jump in front of that car, Sean? Why...?
Sean: He's okay, enano. The car barely touched him...

(Told Daniel to stop lying to Chris)
(Chose to protect the secret)

Daniel: God... I wish I'd told him the truth like you asked me to... I'm... I'm sorry, Sean. I shouldn't have lied to you and Chris...
Sean: It's... It's okay. I know you meant to do good, but... Don't worry.

Daniel: You-- You said I should be more careful... But... Because of you... I didn't do anything and... I could have...
Sean: Hey... You don't know what could've happened, okay? What's done is done.

Daniel makes a frustrated gesture with his hand and leg, continuing to look down.
Daniel: You didn't even let me check on him... What if he is... dead?

He's fine... Trust me.
We don't know.

Sean: You could see the car slow down before, so... Chris will be fine... Trust me.
Daniel: You... You promise?
Sean: (putting his hand over Daniel's heart) Promise.

Sean: Daniel, we don't know that, okay? So... stop jumping into conclusions. We'll catch up on him as soon as we can.
Daniel: I-- I... But... But I need to know...
Sean: You will... Just... Later. When it's safe.

Daniel: Sean... I'm tired of running away... I don't want to be a superhero anymore...
Sean: You don't have to use your power, if you don't want to...
Daniel: I know, but... Sometimes I can help and... How do I know when to use it...?
Sean: You don't. You can only trust your guts. And... listen to your brother.

Daniel: Sean... I'm tired of running away... Why does my power always bring trouble?
Sean: You don't have to use your power, if you don't want to...
Daniel: But... I'm good with it! And I'm the only one who can do these things!
Sean: I know, but... Daniel... You need to be careful and listen to your brother.

Daniel: You think we'll see Grandma and Grandpa again...?

Sean: I don't know... We'll see.

Daniel: Where are we gonna go now? See... See Mom?

Sean: No way, man. We don't need her, okay?

Daniel: But... She said she wanted to find us!

Sean: We stick to the plan: we go to Puerto Lobos. That's where we belong. No one will tell us what to do. We can be whoever we want!

Daniel: You think? I don't know...

Sean: Trust me, man. From now on... We make our own rules!

Sean: Look... I even got you a present. Merry Christmas, enano.
Daniel: For real?! But... it's in two weeks!
Sean: Who cares? Dates are boring! Here...
Sean hands the gift(s) to Daniel.

(Stole Yoyo)
(Bought Snowman)
(Bought Sitting Bear/Wooden Beaver)
(Stole Yoyo and bought something)

Daniel: Gee... A yoyo? Awesome!

Daniel: It's... Weird. But... I like it!

Daniel: Whoah! It's super cute!

Daniel: It's all for me?! Awesome!

The brothers share a hug.
Daniel: Early Christmas is the best! Hey, I got something for you too!
Daniel searches his backpack.
Daniel: I wanted to finish it, but we're doing it now, so...
Daniel gives Sean a drawing.

(Daniel has High Brotherhood (≥ 1))
(Daniel has Low Brotherhood (< 1))

It depicts Sean as a superhero with a cape and a smile on his face. He's signed as "Super Sean".

It depicts Sean with a grimace on his face. He's simply signed as "Sean".

Sean: Awww, man... That's so cool.

Sean: Look... I wanted to wait until then, but we kinda need a little cheer, so... Merry Christmas, enano.
Sean hands the gift(s) to Daniel.
Daniel: For me...? Thanks, Sean...

Daniel: Hey. Listen...

Sean: There's our ride... Come on. All aboard!

A freight train can be seen traveling along the tracks. The original version of "I Found a Way" begins to play. The brothers head down, and after a bit of struggle, they manage to hop aboard and hug after succeeding. The camera goes up to show an aerial shot of the train before the screen fades.

To be continued...

Post Credits[]

A cardboard sign on the floor reads "Experienced & Honest - Looking for Work". The camera slowly pans up, revealing a greenhouse filled with cannabis plants. Everyone is off camera.

Daniel: So... This is it?

Sean: Yeah.

Daniel: It looks like a nettle field! And it stinks...

Sean: Yeah... And your stinky feet will cover the smell.

Daniel: Shut up! They don't!

Cassidy: Come on! I'll show you around.
