Cole is in his garage with the door open. He basically lives in it from what one could tell, there's a sleeping bag in a corner and a car that has its doors and hood off. He is working on something in the engine bay furiously.

Someone is in the garage. Cole does not look up, he is covered in oil and grease.

"Hey, I've got a pizza for a uhhhhhh Cole Jeans One?" A feminine voice rings out from the other side of the garage.

Cole fuckin jumps and accidentally tosses his wrench in the air, "WHO IN THE GOD DAMN" He sounds like he hasn't slept in days.

"I've got a pizza for one Cole Jennehsun," she repeats, with a different pronunciation of his name, this time how GPReeds pronounces it.

Cole stares them in the eyes as he flicks out a switch blade that is extremely dulled and looks heavily used, "I don't have the money for pizza!"

"Someone already payed for it, otherwise I wouldn't be delivering it." Her eyes are a bright blue! Cole would start to feel somewhat woozy upon looking in her eyes, and his eyes start to slowly well up with tears... huh.

Cole holds his head as he keeps staring, seemly trying to be intimating, "God damn, just give the pizza"

"Okay!" Her smile seems unnaturally wide as she hands Cole the pizza box. The closer she gets, the more Cole seems to need to cry.

Cole takes the pizza as he starts to cry, "What...what is happening?

"What are you talking about? I'm delivering you a pizza, silly!" Cole's mind begins to be flooded with images of horrible tragedies that have struck local towns and cities in the past couple of years as the girl's smile grows. Still crying. Cole drops his switchblade and the pizza as he looks horrified. He falls to his knees and keeps staring and crying. Cole begins to feel numb, he can't feel any of his body except for the sensation of the tears running down his face. The images become more vivid, more detailed. There's something connecting them all together but.. he just can't place it in the state he's in. Cole is shaking, absolutely scared out of his mind, but his curiosity is getting the best of him and he keeps staring. The images begin to fade as one takes them over, though this image isn't static. It looks like a woman. She's obscured by shadows. Cole can barely make out a white gown, and the two bright white eyes staring right back at him.

"卄š”¢ā“ā„™ MĪ­"

Cole blacks out. He'd soon wake up, the woman gone, but the pizza box still there and somehow still nice and hot! Cole looks around in confusion but shrugs it off as a result of him not sleeping and opens the pizza box. Oooh, that's a decent pizza. Not good but it's also not bad. There's a bright pink pamphlet stapled to the inside of the box. Cole consumes the pizza in seconds and then grabs the pamphlet. The pamphlet is just a bunch of brightly colored binary with some funny pictures and a discord link. Cole grabs his phone from his pocket and puts in the discord as he copies down the binary and translates it using Google.

Cole's eye widen at the thought of free food as he marks the date and time in his phone.
