A strange young boy stands there.
ROSIE
Holy shit.
DOTTY
...Ch-Chill out, Rosie. Just a kid.
She steps by you and crouches in front of the child.
DOTTY
Heya, champ. You lost? What's your name?
EDDIE
...I'm Eddie. Have you seen my sister?
ROSIE
Dottyyyyy oh my gosh Dotty this is totally the kid from that picture Dotty!!
DOTTY
(Shut the fuck up Rosie!)
DOTTY
Uh... We haven't seen anyone around here except our friend Moe. Do you live here?
EDDIE
I don't live anywhere. This is my House, though. There's other Houses, but this one's just for me. I'm playing hide and seek with my sister. I've been winning for a while, too!
DOTTY
Alright. We were just about to go into the living room. We’ll keep an eye out for your sister, too, if you want.
ROSIE
Dottyyyyyyyyyy!!
EDDIE
'Kay. Just be careful. Chef's in the kitchen, through the swingy door in there, and that's where your friend is. He hates being bothered.
DOTTY
He's going to have to deal.
Eddie giggles. It makes you feel like crying.
EDDIE
I’m glad I came out. You remind me of my brother. But I have to go hide again, or she’ll find me. I don’t want to lose.
DOTTY
Alright. Uh, good luck, kiddo.
Eddie runs off into the darkness, and Dotty stands up, glaring at you.
DOTTY
...I know.
ROSIE
That was him! That was totally the kid in the--
DOTTY
I know. Shut up.
It gets quiet.
