Story transcript
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...?)
