00:00 How does it feel being back?
00:04 Good. I had such good memories here. Maybe my happy place can be our happy place?
00:09 Who left you all alone down here?
00:12 It was just my imagination.
00:15 I'm playing a new game with Chauncey.
00:17 The scavenger hunt, Wisp. That's fun.
00:19 Chauncey says you're not allowed to play with us.
00:22 Oh.
00:23 Because you left him. I need something happy.
00:26 Something happy?
00:28 Ugh. I thought bugs freaked you out.
00:31 If I can finish my list, Chauncey will take me on a trip to the place he's from.
00:35 Something that hurts.
00:43 Alice!
00:44 But it was just my imagination.
00:53 You've been spending time with a new friend?
00:56 Not in the morning with me.
00:59 He asked you to do something that hurt you.
01:02 It was part of the game.
01:04 Does that seem like a game a good friend would want to play?
01:08 Maybe we shouldn't play together anymore, Chauncey.
01:11 Maybe we shouldn't be friends.
01:13 No, no, no, no, no!
01:15 Alice?
01:21 Alice?
01:22 Alice!
01:23 Alice!
01:26 Alice!
01:27 She's lost.
01:29 But we're gonna find her.
01:31 Every culture has entities that tether to the young.
01:36 We call them imaginary friends.
01:39 You are always playing with your imaginary friend.
01:43 When the connection is severed, the entity becomes enraged.
01:48 He says he's right behind you.
01:55 But it was just my imagination.
01:59 Can I hang out with your imaginary friend?
02:02 He's not imaginary.
02:04 And he's not your friend.
