"I'm sure again fainted." " Yes, you were previously on the terrace." "You were okay, but you were there, as if you were asleep." "I remember that I saw something and ..." "Look, tonight is the last night of the mind Monday You may be happy." "Because the king of hell than out and collects all the ghosts ... and return to Hell." "Hello, tomorrow it will not look back." "Think only of rituals to follow, then you're blessed, you have good luck." "I have to go back to work." " You may reassure some rest." "I prefer now rapidly." "Alyssa, there is a message for you." "Really?" " It is there on the sink." "Tessa of the agency called Arkham." "Call morning after nine hours." "Because Miss Wu." "I once had a brother, but we sent him away."

" We had an agreement." "That is true, but I ..." " I think you about scanning." "For a housekeeper, you are very curious." "You know what I think?" "This is not okay." "You're fired!" "Get me out of here!" "What should I do with you?" "Please, get me out of here." " You knew this was your punishment." "I found you." "But you have your own business concerns, instead of sniffing around in the mine." "Then we had become good friends." "But new friends come and go." "Why did you kill her?" "Why do you want to show that I a murderess am, I have them freed." "You are a murderess!" "If someone like you can never understand my faith." "Why you condemn me, anyway?" "You wear a cross around your neck, but you believe nothing." "Only the guilty and insignificant creatures may serve in the rituals." "My God, you worship when it suits you." " How can you do things that you have done?" "My parents believed for some time, that raising a child does not pay." "I got them high prices charged." "Generations, my bloodline earn a fortune with this practice." "The adventure was a prosecution." "Happiness turned against us." "We were cursed." "My little brother, born before the accident." "It was a sign of misfortune." "We took him to the others away." "It is like a room." "Wherever you constantly want." "I must protect my family." "They had to be removed." " Removed?" "Murder mean you." "I do not expect you to understand." "Lucky you do not get a chance." "There is a structure." "Rules and sacrifices must be made." "My parents knew the rules and respected them." "Happiness can not be achieved without sacrifice." "You are a sick shrew." "Watch your words if I hurl your tongue off." "Tonight is the last night." "You know what the gates of hell will close." "But sacrifices are no longer enough." "You have offended a spirit, and now they are very evil." "It's all your fault." " Hey, come back!" "Let me here." "Let me go!" "Alyssa, what are you doing?" "I change now." "Okay, I have money." "Say how much." "You get everything." "I have a car, the top are jewelry." "You name it, it's all for you." "I do not want to die." "They are not." "Alyssa, come back." "I could commit suicide, but then I thought ... if you are dead, it is a lonely existence." "I want to be alone." "But no more." "I want you." "I love you, Alyssa." "In this way we will be together." "No more lonely nights, peak-in the future." "The death must be better than life." "You think you could hide forever?" "An endless circle of love." "You and I, together forever." "Jacob, listen to me." "You are crazy, let me go." "It is just pain." "Everything is over." "First you than me." " No." "Just a few minutes a disrupted life." "Then we are in heaven." "Together." "Let us present seal with a kiss." "Leave her alone." "Is this your new boyfriend?" "I am not a jealous type, but you're my girl." "You must help me." "Send her."
