11:56 p.m.

I'm never far away.

I don't expect you to know who I am.

I am the nightmare that lives within you.

I am your curse.

I am the bane of your existence.

I am the beast.

I am the soul of all the animals that came before me.

It's been over a century.

I have seen it all.

I've seen things that you will never fathom.

The souls of all those animals live within me now.

I don't blame you for what you've done. In fact, I'm glad you're here. 

You're not the same psychopath your great-grandfather was.

You haven't killed nearly in this town.

But I still haunt his soul.

He has been punished to purgatory for the last ninety years.

Oh, there's no need to be scared! I don't have much of an issue with you.

YOU.

JUST YOU.

It's not you I'm worried about; rather, it's all the people who may come after you.

I've been watching your entire family since that day.

Watching.

Hoping that the massacre wouldn't happen again.

If you do know, I will be banished back to the void for another year in a few moments.

It's awful down there.

He would know.

If you feel pity for me, there is still one thing you can do.

Begin the ritual.

You can still save me and bring me back to your world.

It's my only request.

I trust that you know what to do.

Right?
