telling me how to navigate

myself out of this building and

to do so in a way that evaded

the security of the building.

So, I thought I'd give it a

shot.

You may suddenly begin to

notice small things around you

you had never before noticed.

And those minute details will

lead to other, more significant

observations and so on,

ad infinitum, until your entire

universe is transformed

forever.

What happened next is

in following the card, I end up

going on this very eccentric,

hour-long... I guess you would

say like a scavenger-hunt sort

of adventure.

There were lots of unanswered

questions... who's behind this?

Where is it leading?

What's the point?

And as it started to unfold,

more and more things kind of

came to light, especially things

like new terminology.

The word "nonchalance" was maybe

being used in ways that I hadn't

really seen it used before.

I guess I was afraid that at

some point I would be marketed to.

It'd be like, "Well, thank you

for going through this thing.

Buy Reese's peanut butter cups"

or something like that, you know?

But that never seemed to happen.

In fact, the more I pull on

threads, the more the lines were

really blurred between what I

viewed as the insanity I was

kind of experiencing and the

insanity of the real world.

In fact, I would say that a lot

of insanity you run into?

It's insanity, and you can set

it over here.

But the insanity that I was

getting exposed to so much

blurred the lines between real

insanity and perhaps fake

insanity that there was really

no distinction.

I think my eyes really were

opening up and seeing the world

in a different way.

I felt like

I felt before

when I was watching a movie, and

the movie ended, and I left the

movie theater.

And everything outside seems

better than it did before that.

Like, the colors are brighter,

or the world looks like a

different place.

And I wanted to keep feeling

that way,

instead of just

walking around going, "Well, I'm

going to my job.

Well, I have to go do laundry. "

Instead, I was walking around

and looking at stuff with a

different purpose.

Instead of just trying to get

from point "A" to point "B,"

I was looking for clues.

Towards the end of the

induction, on the card, you're

instructed to call the

detective.

And when you call the detective,

he drops a clue about

Cooper alley.

It turns out there's a shrine to

someone named Eva.

Says, "We miss you, Eva. "

Then, at that point, you're

instructed to go back to the

building, and you're given a key

to this wall of lockers.

There's a tiny, little peephole,

and inside there are these sort of

partial letters and numbers
