The recording begins in a parked car with a dusty gray interior. Otto is in the driver’s seat and Geoff is in the passenger seat beside him.

“It just seems...weird,” Geoff tells Otto. “And not in the usual way. It’s too strange.”

“But possession? C’mon, maybe he’s just having an off day or wants to screw with you and—” Otto turns towards the camera and scrunches his face. “Was that always on?”

Geoff sighs. “You know he’d want this shit recorded and posted online if I think what’s happening is happening. And if it’s not, I’ll just delete the evidence and we’ll pretend this never happened, okay?”

Otto stares downwards in thought before muttering out a “fine,” much to Geoff’s delight.

“Cool. Hey guys,” Geoff addresses the camera, his demeanor brightening a little. “Um, so I’m pretty sure Awsten’s possessed.”

“He’s not—” Otto begins halfheartedly.

“All his messages have been like, corrupted, and they look super freaky. I’ve been trying to call him too, but—wait, actually lemme just show you.” Geoff fishes out his phone and dials Awsten’s number. It rings for a while, but then a deafening, grating scream answers before he hangs up. “I don’t think that’s normal.”

Geoff looks towards Otto, who raises an eyebrow. “What?” he asks. Geoff shakes the phone in his hand. Otto sighs. “Okay, that's...odd. If you’re so set on it, you check up on him.”

He nods in response, opening up his voice memo app and pressing record. Geoff conceals his phone in his back pocket and heads out. Otto slumps against the wheel.
