Episode 1

[gentle music] Someone left this. It keeps playing in my head. Vera, this is the song I wrote. I know. Don't look at me like that, Elliot. Why now? Why after all this time? Because the silence was getting too loud. [tense music] Cuts through the tense silence. Are y'all going to order anything or just talk about your feelings all night? [blood splattering] [Vera screaming] See everybody just melts around me. What is it? Is it me? Is that why they're doing it? What should I do to fix it? Am I the problem? Are you the problem? Are we the problem? [tense music] [ink squelching] [Elliot panting] You ran. That means it's still writing, doesn't it? Love does not vanish. Love becomes the ink. She was never there. Was she real at all? [Elliot gasping] The stylus is deep now. It carves what it sees, not what you want. If she was never real, then why am I still bleeding? You'll find out just who was your friend. [Elliot gagging] [tense music] How she just wants to break his heart. How she just wants to break his heart. It's not just a memory anymore! [Elliot panting] [tense music] So now it bleeds for me too. Perfect timing. I drafted 17 ways out. Not one of them was ink. Elliot, what did you put inside this thing? [Vera gasping] I can feel him. Every regret he ever buried in these grooves. Stop showing me. I didn't ask for the side of the soul tour. [Vera gasping] [ink squelching] Don't be sad. I know you will. [Vera gasping] [tense music] Go on then. Record the rest. [tense music] He is bleeding ink too. You are the same page. The record writes what neither of you will say. Then make it stop before it finishes the word! [tense music] True level is finally here. The ink finds us where the record ends. No! [screaming] Find us in the end. [ink squelching]
