Anything. Like I ask you

how you pronounce

your last name?

Mm, got it.

How do you pronounce it? I saw it on

your website and I couldn't really tell.

Why were you

looking at his website?

Oh. Mom and Dad saw on your Facebook

that Araz has a photography show.

So, we checked out his website.

I liked your photos, but I

couldn't pronounce the name.

It's, um,

Araz Ghanizadeh.

Ghanizade?

It's Gha... I think

probably you cannot say.

Ge?

- It's Geh.

- Geh.

- Geh?

- [both chuckling]

Okay. Your turn.

Geh.

No. I mean if you want,

you can ask Lauren a question.

We go in a circle.

I thought this was a game for

strangers to get to know each other.

It doesn't matter

how you're related.

Okay.

So, Lauren.

Sorry. Can't think of

anything to ask right away.

Lauren, how do you

pronounce your last name?

[Lauren] Greene. It's "Gh."

[all chuckling]

[Lauren] Actually,

I do have a question.

It's not really a quick

question for the game,

but I'm wondering

about Aunt Annie.

You know I told you my mom's

sister has early onset dementia.

I know she was here and Mom was

taking care of her for a while.

All of a sudden, last week, Mom just called

and said that she was leaving, so...

I mean, I thought she was gonna

stay longer. What happened?

Mom was saying that Aunt Annie

has to go with her to the woods

across the street to exercise.

First, Aunt Annie

wasn't really into it.

Mom was kinda forcing her,

but later, I think she really got addicted.

And she started going by herself.

Sometimes even two,

three times a day.

She used to run or walk.

One day, she didn't come back.

And I had my therapy

that morning.

I came home from there

and Aunt Annie went to run.

Usually, she ran for,

like, an hour,

but that day it took so long.

Mom came home

from work and she was

worried and mad that

I hadn't called her.

But I didn't know. I just thought she

was just taking a longer run. So...

Mom, and Loretta,

and I went to look for her.

- [Araz] Who's Loretta?

- Our neighbor.

- [Lauren] So?

- Oh, nothing. We found her.

She couldn't talk. She

forgot the way and got lost.

It wasn't even that far,

but he was scared,

and she was just

sitting by a tree.

[Lauren] And she

wanted to leave after that?

Well, she was in shock.

Mom and Dad decided it'd be better

for her to leave for sometime.

They were going to hire a nurse, but

she didn't wanna go back to her house.

So, they called Uncle Albert and decided

she should go and stay with him.

But I don't think she'll stay.

She'll come home.

[heavy breathing]

[calm instrumental music]

[J] "...deepest demarcations

can slowly spread and fade

like any blue tattoo.

I do not know my age.
