### JON
Right, let’s try this.
### NAOMI
Really? Does that thing even work? It must be thirty years old.
### JON
I know, but we have previously had some success using it to record statements that our… digital recording software struggles with.
### NAOMI
Yeah, well, that’s one way to put it. You need to get some better equipment.
### JON
Believe me, I have been trying. Still, the [[Tape recorder|tape recorder]] seems to work fine as a backup, and I can have it transcribed later, so for now if you’d be so kind –
### NAOMI
You’re serious? You actually want me to tell my story into that rattling piece of junk? I see why no-one takes you guys seriously.
### JON
You’re under no obligation to speak to us.
### NAOMI
No, I just… I guess I’m just desperate. The last paranormal investigator I went to laughed at me when I suggested talking to you. Still, I-I guess you have to believe me.
### JON
Something like that.
### NAOMI
**\[SIGH]**
Okay, from where we left off?
### JON
Probably best to start over. Name, date, subject, et cetera. I’m not optimistic that any of the previous recording will be salvageable.
### NAOMI
Fine. My name is [[Herne, Naomi|Naomi Herne]], and I’m making a statement about the events following the funeral of my fiancé, [[Lukas, Evan|Evan Lukas]]. The date is the [[2016-01-13|13th of January, 2016]]. To be honest I’m not even sure I should be here. What happened was weird and, alright, I can’t think of a rational explanation for it, but I was distraught. I still am. I should go. I probably just imagined the whole thing. He’s gone and that’s all there is to it.
### JON
That’s certainly possible. It might all be in your head, though there is the matter of the stone.
### NAOMI
That could be… I don’t know. I just don’t know what to think.
### JON
Take your time.
### NAOMI
Wait, where are you going?
### JON
I was going to give you some privacy while you make your statement.
### NAOMI
Okay, it’s just… could you stay please? I don’t want to be alone.
### JON
Very well. Let’s start from the beginning.
