The thing is: I have no idea how it happened. And I really don't know why
but I have this strange feeling that I won't find out the reason
or even a way back to... normality.
If I can call it that.
This is definitely a big concern for me.
But I wasn't able to dive so deep into this problem because someone kidnap
my attention so fully
but I just forgot about this anoma...
Let me... let me call it a problem with...
Cardboard! That's just perfect.
Emily, I was talking to you about what Liam said to me last night and you interrupt me
because of some...
Wait, wait, wait. That's not just cardboard!
It's not?
No.
So what is it?
Wait.
This is beautiful. Absolutely perfect.
It might be a little awkward that she doesn't even know my name
and already brought me to her apartment but...
I'm Emily by the way. And you're Arthur, right?
How did she know?
I like your name.
Arthur, this will be your new home.
You'll sleeping on this couch.
I'm sorry that I don't have appropriate room for you,
and I hope your parents don't mind.
Actually I don't have parents anymore.
But I think this is not a nice thing to say just now.
It may ruin this nice strange moment
You will not be leaving this room in a while
but once you're perfect I will let you go.
Your not such a talker, hum?
But that's fine, I'll talk for us both.
Being a talker I was never one of my biggest characteristics.
But the right word for now would definitely be speechless.
I couldn't sleep tonight.
I think this is too much for my brain. No one treats people this way.
Why she being so nice to me?
Yesterday I was just trying to understand what happened to my hand
and today I'm here leading a complete stranger touch this
anomaly and she's drawing on it too.
I've never had a tattoo and now I have a cardboard hand and a tattoo.
I dreamt about you last night.
It was great. You were beautiful. Amazing.
I've dreamt a lot about you lately.
Do you dream about me? For sure I will when I start to sleep again.
Probably not.
Hi.
Clair. Hi. Yeah.
No. I was working on this project the whole night.
If... if I'm alone?
Yeah sure there's no one here.
I won't forget that.
See you later.
I think I dreamt about you this night. No no that will sound too pretentious.
Today I saw you in one of my dreams.
To evasive.
Dreaming about you this night was great.
What am I trying to do? I don't have to tell her that I dreamed about her just
because she did.
And it's already enough that I slept this night and if I say something wrong.
Tomorrow I'll take you out of here.
I have a teacher that may help us with this structural problem.
Let's call it this way.
But look.
It is growing.
Wow, great.
I really don't know how this teacher will be able to help me.
He is talking for an hour about the importance of talking
or something like that.
I told Emily that this man doesn't know anything about my problem
and definitely won't help. But she didn't listen.
She always does that when she thinks she's right.
Everyone gets this from time to time.
You have to try and work with the media you have to...
You have to build a relationship with your medium. You need to feel your medium.
You know? How can I do that?
Well you know. You should listen to him.
I told you.
I've gotta go. I see you latter.
Emily slept over my chest again.
It's been more than a week since I first got here
and today I am almost completely cardboard.
Just my legs and my head are still mine.
I don't want to be negative. But this won't go away.
Emily is doing her best but every time I wake up a part of me is gone.
She's been really tired lately.
And as the days go by my nights are getting better and better.
I think that's maybe because she's here.
and sleep smelling her hair, feeling her soft hand
listening to her slow breathing. I wish that at this moment
I could hold her as she holds me.
You are ready to go now, Arthur.
I'll miss you here being with me.
But I didn't make you just for me.
So you are ready to go.
I'll still dream about you, my knight in shinning armor.
