the date picnic gone wrong

Amity

(The petals... they look exactly like the ones from my dream. The one where...)

Luz

Amity, your hands are trembling. What's wrong?

Amity

(The petals... they're turning red. Just like in the dream where- where Luz-)

Luz

These aren't normal petals... they're bleeding?

Amity

We need to leave. Now. Before the dream becomes real.

Luz

(Behind Amity... that's not a shadow. That's- that's me. But I'm right here.)

Amity

(The dream... it wasn't about Luz dying. It was about me watching myself kill her.)

Luz

Amity, don't look back! Run!

Amity

(The blood won't stop. Every petal that falls... it's my fault.)

Luz

Amity, look at me. Whatever you saw, it wasn't real.

Amity

It was real! I felt my hands around your throat! I felt the snap!

Luz

Then feel this instead.

Amity

(Her lips... warm. Not cold like the blood.)

Luz

Your dream was wrong, Amity. I'm not the one who dies here.

Amity

(The blood... it's mine. The sakura petals aren't bleeding. I am.)

Luz

No, no, no! The dream wasn't about me dying... it was about you!

Amity

(Can't breathe... petals in my throat... just like the dream but backwards)

Luz

You're not dying! Not like this!

Amity

Behind you... the shadow... it's moving on its own!

Luz

(That's... that's my shadow but it's smiling. I'm not.)

Luz

Whatever you are, you're not taking her!

Amity

(The dream was never about death... it was about becoming the monster that kills what I love most)

Luz

Amity... your eyes... they're not yours anymore.

Amity

(Luz... I finally understand. The dream wasn't warning me about losing you... it was warning you about losing me.)

Amity

(The dream was never about me becoming the monster. I was already the monster. The dream just showed me what I'd already done.)

Luz

Amity? AMITY! Wake up! This isn't funny anymore!

Luz

(No pulse... but she's still warm. The blood... it's not coming from anywhere. It's just... appearing.)

Amity

She's not dead, Luz. She's just... sleeping. Like you will be soon.

Luz

You're not Amity. Amity would never-

Amity

Amity died three days ago, Luz. You just refused to believe it. The picnic... the sakura... it was all her memory trying to keep you safe.

Luz

(The blood... it's disappearing. But not from my hands... from my memories. What's happening to me?)

Amity

The dream wasn't warning you about losing Amity, Luz. It was warning you about becoming her. And now... you're already halfway there.

Luz

(My reflection... it's Amity's face. When did I become...?)
