Summary
The scene that fades onto the screen next is a ceiling shot of the whole party, mirroring their exact positions in real time, everyone but Steve is frozen. Steven looks from right to left and back again, exhaling slowly. The ringing of a phone cuts through the air and his head snaps towards it. His face is unsure. He stands up and slowly makes his way over to the phone, makes several aborted movements to pick it up before taking it off the hook and hesitantly holding it to his ear, someone breathes on the other side and the line crackles with it, after a few seconds a harsh voice grates out of the phone,
[Grabber]: “When were you going to tell them, Finney?”
[Steve]: “I wasn’t.”
The person on the other line giggles which turns into a manic laugh, the laughter, the ringing, the static, they all get louder and louder until the room starts to shake violently and then all at once the line clicks dead and it’s silent. Steve stares hollowly at the phone before hanging it up. The screen goes black.
