Something has some questions for our unlikely heroes, questions are in order of being asked listed below:
Ray Wright:
What were your Intentions walking into the LimeLight Diner that night?
Do you feel people respect you?
Do you consider yourself party to the murder of Paul Henderson?
Do you think the stress that caused Susan to have an aneurism was due to your selfish personality and lack of self awareness?
Do you believe anything could have been done to save Paul?
When you ran fruitlessly to stop Paul, you ran right in front of a loaded shotgun, did you do it out of stupidity or does some part of you long for death?
Are you afraid to die or are you more afraid of being forgotten?
What if you'd never existed, then who would remember you?
John Umbrelevare:
What were your intentions walking into the LimeLight Diner that night?
Do you think that you may not be having visions?
That everything you see isn't real and you're just going insane?
Do you consider yourself partly responsible for the murder of Paul Henderson?
Do you think your father is proud of you or do you think he looks back at you from beyond somewhere angry and disappointed in his insane son faking at being an American?
Do you believe anything could have been done to save Paul?
Do you think you may be demonically possessed then?
Who was on the phone that night?
Are you afraid to die?
Cooper O. Barrett -
What were your intentions walking into the LimeLight Diner that night?
What scares you most Cooper?
Do you consider yourself partly responsible for the murder of Paul Henderson?
(asked in his fathers voice) You've had your own brushes with death i'm sure. Why don't you tell me about a time YOU were the one looking death in the eyes?
Do you believe anything could have been done to save Paul? How?
Do you believe in a higher power Cooper?
Are you afraid of dying?
There was something in Paul's pocket that John took. He tried to destroy it to little success but he still has it and that woman you hit in your car has a something as well. Do you want to know what they are?
Thank you for listening stay tuned for more!!
