NARRATOR: Previously on Light as a Feather.

‐ How could I have possibly played that game again?

I just don't exactly remember. ‐ Because of the blackouts.

‐ I keep waking up in these strange places,

having no idea how I got there.

‐ Well, is your mom still tracking your phone?

‐ That's L.T. It stands for Little Trey.

‐ You named it after me? SAMMI: Yeah.

Maybe we could go back

to the way things used to be.

VIOLET: When did you become such an artist?

‐ It's just something I started doing in the hospital.

‐ Who are these people?

‐ I don't know.

Just faces that come to me, I guess.

‐ So how did you know that guy was gonna die?

Does it have something to do with that game?

‐ No, it has nothing to do with the game.

‐ You played Light as a Feather with Violet?

‐ Who's Violet?

No, I played with your friend McKenna.

This isn't over.
