Deep in the Nox Islia TV facilities, we find Avi, in front of two desktop computer screens, speaking with the director of the new welcome tape.

"So the stuff we managed to film all cuts together pretty well, we're just missing the back half."

"Yeah. We tried cutting in the old tape, but I think we'll have to find a second filming day."

Amidst their conversation, the welcome tape they filmed natters on — "For beyond it lies Shady Rest, the House of Darkness. And you are not immune to the Darkness."

"Is it really that bad?"

"Yeah, dude, it's-- You know what, see for yourself, it'll cut to it next."

The old tape is a grainy, distorted, discoloured mess, but worst of all, it's older than Avi remembers — the date on the tape is 17/05/1984, the time is 09:51, and the Avi depicted in it is very eager to define herself as a girl: "Now, remember," 1984 Avi says, "Big Brother might not be watching you, but Big Sister sure is!" She points at the camera. "That's me!"

Then, today, in the editing suite, Avi looks appalled, and says, "Can you do tomorrow?"
