[Video transcript start.]

[The transcript begins with the sound of a door being opened, the camera in someone's hand viewing everything sideways as they walk out onto the roof of a building, they are limping, the camera shaking with each step. Seemingly a school, the person and by extension looks around for something or well. Someone.]

?: Sparroooooow? You have to come on.

[Voice identified: Rose Henderson.]

?: [Distant. But clearly crying.] NO!

R: Ugh… Come on kid! You can't stay up here forever.

Sp: I'LL STAY UP HERE AS LONG AS I WANT TO!

[Rose sighs, before turning around. The camera of course follows suit, she sticks the phone in her shirt pocket so it can finally see what Rose sees. A child in a red hoodie on the roof, hood up. They are shaking either from fear or just crying. Rose walks over.]

R: Hey kid.

Sp: [Muffled.] Don't talk to me… Please.

R: Well. Jenny's busy. And you won't listen to anyone else. So please.

[Rose finally sits down next to Sparrow, the sound of muffled sobbing is all she and the camera can hear.]

R: So… What's bothering you?

Sp: [Muffled.] You wouldn't get it…

R: Try me.

[Rose and the camera are looking at Sparrow, who finally looks up, their eyes are bloodshot, their face beet red.]

R: Come on kid, let's talk.

[Sparrow looks at Rose, they slowly speak.]

Sp: … why is edgar a bad guy now? why is he scary?

R: Ah…

Sp: why did he hurt that man, aunt rose? why did he crush his head?

R: Sparrow…

Sp: [Between tears it is like this other said otherwise.] Why… WHY DID HE KILL THAT MAN! WHY IS HE ACTING LIKE EVERYTHING IS… IS FINE!

R: … because he wants to protect us kid.

Sp: aunt rose… please… l- look at me and s- say. h- he's protecting us by… b- by killing people?

R: … I…

Sp: H- how is murder protecting us?

R: I don't know…

[Sparrow is still sobbing, but they remove the hood part of their hoodie.]

Sp: i thought everything was supposed to get better after we got out… so why… why is everything still bad..?

R: I don't know Sparrow…

Sp: … I don't want to go to the apartment until Edgar is done killing people…

R: Th- That’s fair… Yeah…

Sp: He… H- he killed that man… so brutally… w- why…

[Sparrow returns to uncontrollable sobbing, they repeatedly punch Rose while screaming “why” again and again. The punches seemingly don't do much.]

R: … Kid. Calm down.

[Sparrow doesn't respond.]

R: Sparrow. Breathe.

Sp: [Sobbing.] HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO BREATHE WHEN EDGAR’S HURTING PEOPLE!

R: Because you’re my niece Sparrow. I'm telling you to breathe because I care about you.

[Sparrow stops, tears still falling.]

R: Edgar doesn't want to hurt us. If that reasoning falls flat then it does. What matters is that we have to help him through this and no. That doesn’t mean we tie him up until the urge goes away. Now if you want to stay away from the apartment. I get that, it's fine.

[Sparrow looks at Rose.]

R: We have to work through this ok? If you want to call Edgar scary, fine. I get that. But you need to know we are trying to help him. Before you try to talk to him, which I know you will. You need to calm down, and think.

Sp: but he… he…

R: I know… I know he killed that person… I know Sparrow.

[The camera shakes as Sparrow hugs Rose, sobbing. Their cries muffed. Rose wraps her arm around them.]

R: It’s going to be ok, I promise.

Sp: [Muffled.] i don't like this… i… i thought everything was going to be happy.

R: It will be, just. gonna take extra work.

Sp: … i thought the work was done… after we got out…

R: Na. I mean, maybe for you it was done for a bit. But, we have to keep doing stuff y'know?

Sp: .. i think i do..?

R: We just. Have to be there for Edgar. That's not to say you have to come to the apartment, I understand keeping distance. Just, be understanding. I know it's hard cuz, he has killed people. But, if we just call him a monster or a killer it does nothing.

Sp: … it doesn't?

R: No not really.

Sp: … hm…

R: Everything is going to be fine, I promise. It's just gonna take time…

Sp: … i can't say i'm going to be apart of this… that i'm not terrified… but. i… I'll be careful with what i say to him…

R: That's good enough for me kiddo. It's going to be ok.

[Sparrow doesn't respond, instead just holding onto Rose. Rose sighs, running her fingers through Sparrow's hair singing a song to them, this continues until the transcript automatically ends.]

[End transcript.]

#my posting schedule is still terrible so y'know. #showfall ask blog #encoreverse blog #rose

[rosetheex-editor]

You missed the entire point.

He’s sick.

I'm bring him medicine. Fever ramble or not I can feel how I feel. Just because "Oh he's sick, it's ok that he's talking about this thing that ruined lives in a semi decent light." I'm allowed to be upset about it. I get that he's sick but I can still be upset.

#showfall ask blog #encoreverse blog #rose

[rosetheex-editor]

But you do realize why he’s saying that, right? It makes sense to him. A mask that takes away the pain of… well, anything? A good solution. To him.

You don’t have to like it, but he’s just saying what he’s thinking.

And he’s sick, so it’s probably hard to think coherently.

It’s not going to help him if you just get angry.

I'm not angry I'm upset. Sorry I don't like it when something that ruined actual human lives is being considered a good thing in some way. I'm allowed to have options.

#showfall ask blog #encoreverse blog #rose

[rosetheex-editor]

Rose, he’s sick. Delirious. Don’t get too upset with him, he’s not thinking straight.

I just... Those masks, caused so much shit. I'm sorry it's just. Y'know. Those masks kinda ruined everyone's lives and to hear "It wasn't all bad" just. Hm.
