[The video flickers on abruptly at the sound of a young girl's shrill voice and the whining of a dog. There is a sudden image of a black snout and sharp teeth, followed by a dizzying throw through the air.]

Stop that, Bandersnatch! Lottie says it's un-sa-ni-ta-ry to lick the blood off. And besides, it feels weird. Your tongue has spikes on it. I'

-- A- bullet? Are you okay, Miss?

[that was a lot of strange things in one go.]

What's wrong with them? If it means anything, I definitely won't be joining any organizations--

- Did they do that damage to you?

voice.

[regive]

Yes! One of their members did! They're not very nice people at all.

voice.

[payingthepiper]

But why did they do that?

voice.

[regive]

Because we're e-ne-mies, I think. Or maybe it's because they don't want to see Master Glen alive again.

voice.

[payingthepiper]

-- Alive again? Did he... get too old?

[regive]

voice.

[payingthepiper]

You can't bring someone back to life.

Why? Why?

[payingthepiper]

Did you like your Master Glen?

voice.

[regive]

Yes! Of course! He's the nicest and kindest person you'll ever meet! He and Lottie and Fang and Dug took me in when I had nowhere else to go. Only a really kind person would do that, you know?

voice.

[payingthepiper]

voice.

[regive]

... I don't get it. How does it hurt them? Is reviving them really that painful?

voice.

[payingthepiper]

Extremely. It's because of their soul.
