Faults Page #3

---

I need you to knock on the

door and check in with...

just say you're with me.

Will do.

You're on your own now.

How are you?

They're going to find me.

You realize there's

no hiding from them.

He said you didn't try to sleep.

Why not?

I couldn't.

Aren't you tired?

Yes.

Do you know why you're here?

You have a family.

A mother and a father, and

they love you like crazy, but

They feel like

they have lost you.

They did this?

They're worried

about you Claire.

Don't call me that.

She was weak and stupid.

What would you like

me to call you?

Just don't call me that.

We won't say that name.

Why are you doing this?

My name is Ansel Roth.

I specialize in helping people

who are lost and who might be

Under the control of others.

I'm not lost.

I found myself and I choose

to live my life the way I live

Because god wills it.

I am here because

I want to learn.

I want you to tell

me about yourself...

where are my parents?

That is not important.

This is just you and me.

What's going on inside

your head right now?

I'm thinking about how I want

to rip your tongue out of your

Throat so you'll shut up.

That you're close enough that

I could reach out and strangle

You with my bare hands

and that I'd like to.

I'm just waiting

for a sign from god.

That is understandable.

Just so you know, I am

probably going to move back a

Little right now.

I was not being facetious when

I said I was here to learn.

I know, it does not seem like

it now, but this will be a

Positive experience.

At least, try not to kill me

until you have a chance to

Hear me out.

Signs from god be damned.

You're on fire.

I need to go to the bathroom.

So you don't lock yourself in.

Might as well take the

door off the hinges.

You could just watch me then.

You'd like that wouldn't you?

You can have a

pop if you'd like.

Also the chocolate

isn't too expensive.

You need to come out.

Uhhhhhhh.

What are you doing?

Ahhhhhhh.

Come on.

Let's sit back down and talk.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

You need to stop.

Stop, stop, stop.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Now listen to me, just listen.

Five days, that's all this is.

Five days.

After those five days, you can

do whatever it is

You're going to do.

You can go wherever

you want to go.

All you need to

do is talk to me.

Do you want me to take

my hand off your mouth?

Five days?

That's it. I promise.

And then I can go home?

After that, wherever you

consider home to be, you can

Go there, yes.

Just...

promise me you will

listen, and not just to me.

To yourself.

Okay.

Your nose is bleeding again.

Did I hit you?

Oh, I don't think so, no.

I don't know why

this keeps happening.

Here, let me.

Tilt your head back.

Do you mind me asking

how old you are?

Age doesn't mean anything.

You mean in the group?

The time it takes for our

earth to circle the sun?

Why?

Why does that matter? It's an

abstraction.

Why is earth so special?

Time means nothing in eternity.

Your parents told

me you were 28.

You shouldn't ask questions

you know the answers to.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Can you tell me

about the faults?

Faults.

No "the," just faults.

Faults.

From a fault comes a change.

Do you believe a

change is on the way?

I don't want to talk about that.

Okay.

Do you have any pets back home?

A dog.

What was its name?

I know what you're trying to do.

Okay.

How did they find you?

I found them.

But did somebody hand you a

pamphlet, or did you have a

Friend who was

inside the group...

no, no you don't understand.

I was meant to find them.

I had to.

One day I stepped

outside and I walked.

I walked until I

reached a house.

I had never been to this

place before, but I knew it.

I had seen it.

Something told me to

walk in, and I did.

And they took you in?

I had been with them my whole

life, but at that moment, my

Physical self was home.

Can you describe the group?

In what context?

Gender, race, age.

I know, these things don't

mean anything to you, but it

Helps me to understand.

Men and women. Mostly men.

So no children.

Parasites.

We don't have time to wait

for them to grow autonomous.

What, something is

going to happen soon?

I told you, I don't

want to talk about that.

Right.

Can you tell me what

role you play, Claire?

I'm sorry.

That was an accident.

Who are you in faults?

We are all students,

every one of us.

So there's a teacher.

We teach each other.

But there must be

someone in charge.

The person who came first.

God.

And who is god?

You have to find

that for yourself.

You're probably

very tired, right?

When we're tired, we think

less and we feel more.

Today, I wanted you to feel.

You understand?

We should stop there.

You did very well.

I wasn't planning on doing

this so soon, but I want to

Show you something.

I know this will be hard for

you, but

I feel like you're ready.

I just wanted you to see them.

Know they were here.

I don't want to keep

any secrets from you.

Alright.

Paul, Evelyn, I think

that's enough for tonight.

Let's, let's give her a

chance to process everything.

Mommy?

Daddy?

Oh...

our baby.

Our Claire...

what?

Wait...

No, it's alright. It's alright.

She's not really associating

with that identity right now,

But that's alright.

Well what is that

supposed to mean?

There are two identities

in a case such as hers.

The before identity, before

the cult,

And the cult identity.

What do we call her then?

Terms of affection are fine.

Baby, sweetie, honey, whatever

you called her back when

Things were normal.

We never called her honey.

Don't call her that, then.

She needs to sleep.

Today was good.

Tonight I think we need

to keep the doors closed.

We, can we just talk

to her a little more?

In the morning.

I want to do a session

with her in the morning.

After that, I'll

bring you both in.

Thank you.

I'm not asleep.

Sorry, I was just...

I left space for you.

I'm sleeping on the floor.

I'm not going to leave.

Oh, I know.

I trust you, but...

I understand.

You want to know why I'm not

going to leave?

I feel like this is an

opportunity.

God is giving me a

chance to save them.

Who?

Your parents?

I can teach them.

Can you turn off the light?

Good morning.

What time is it?

It's light out.

Can you hand me my pants...

to me?

Is that my shirt?

I needed a change of clothes.

Well, your parents

brought some from home.

We'll be seeing them later.

Okay.

Can you put your dress back on?

You don't have to do that.

There won't be any

housekeeping today.

Did you spray this

with something?

No, with what?

It smells floral.

So faint, it...

I don't have anything.

Sorry, yeah...

I know.

Would you be okay talking

with me this morning?

I've learned a lot about

myself since I found them.

A-Are you familiar

with meditation?

I am, yes.

I do not, myself, but I am

familiar with the process.

I had never meditated before.

I can't picture my

current life without it.

I have goals.
