I can't remember.
I need you to try.
I- I was on the field. And... it all just went blank. And then... you were there.
[Shakes her head] Will... I need you to tell me the truth.
I am!
[Joyce brings over a piece of paper with a rough outline of the "Shadow Monster"]
This shape. I saw it on the videotape of Halloween Night. It's the same shape as your drawing. These episodes that you're having, I think Doctor Owens is wrong, I think they're real. But- but I can't help you if I don't know what's going on. So, you have to talk to me! Please. No more secrets, okay? [Will nods] Okay. Did you see this thing again, on the field?
[Will has flashbacks of his encounter with the Shadow Monster]
[Nods] Yes.
What... what is it?
[Tearfully] I don't... know. It's almost... more like a feeling.
Like the one you had that night at the arcade?
Yes.
Wh-what does it want?
[Crying] I don't... know. It came for me, and...and I tried. I tried to make it go away. But it got me, Mom!
Well, what does that mean?
I felt it... everywhere. Everywhere. I- I still feel it! I just want this to be over!
[Hugs him] It's okay, it's okay, hey. Listen, look, look at me. I will never, ever let anything bad happen to you ever again. Whatever's going on in you, we're gonna fix it. I will fix it. I promise. I'm here.
