I found Ernest.
I went to open a door and someone was holding it shut. So... I had to ask.
"Do you know a little girl named Amy?"
Ernest asked why I would ask that so I read out that card I found. Just as I thought, Ernest is 'daddy.' He asked where I found it and I told him,
"Up in the attic."
He then sounded so sad... Calling himself a fool, saying it's too late, and how he finally understands why.... Why she was there. Why she was holding an empty envelope when Amy fell. I realized what I had done. I'd gone and reminded him of his dead daughter... So, I apologized. But...Ernest said he's never forgotten. It's been 10 years since...
I slipped the card under the door.
He... Ernest began saying weird things. Like he realized who I was, like a celebrity, said perhaps he could hope for a miracle as well. I asked what he meant... but he just went silent.
Finally he asked me to go to the apartments next door to find a white liquid. He had to have it. I asked why he couldn't get it but he said, "I would if I could, believe me... but I..."
I accepted the task with one word and he said he'd open the 'stairway door.' How? I DID pass a locked door but if he's not coming out...
From what I gathered... I was sure that Ernest wanted to bring Amy back to life. All those weird books I found...
I asked if it he really thought it would work. He didn't know. Ernest was becoming so pitiful...
I'm off.
