Moving on to the next three scenes:
Barnabas enters the drawing room, where more beams have come down, leaving it almost unrecognizable--there was no war or hurricane here, he says--it's as if the house was simply abandoned. Barnabas, in one month? she asks, astounded. The house is as still, quiet as the grave, he says--do you suppose that everyone we knew, all our friends--Maggie, Elizabeth, David--are dead? Julia horrified, says, I don't know. They continue to wander around. She finds and picks up some papers on the desk she'd left there the night she went to parallel time--look how they crumble at my touch! Perhaps, suggests Barn, radiation has sped up the process of deterioration. (Barn knows about radiation)? She gazes at the pieces in her hand--it could be, she says. What could have happened? he wonders. She finds another piece of paper that says, "We must leave Collinwood before the day is out--we must." It's a note in Liz's handwriting, unfinished, says Julia. Then they did leave for a reason, says Barn, walking amongst the rubble--but what is it? On the floor, he finds Liz' diary, which has been burned. I wonder why anyone would burn it? asks Julia. It's as though they wanted everyone to forget they ever existed, says Barn.[/spoiler]
Wrapping up Scene 185 as scripted (using Grayson's script):
...unable to even enter, when I watch my friends live other lives--are Julia and Stokes right--is there a time band running parallel to ours, where we live different lives because we have made different choices? I must find out! Why can't I always see those lives in this room, why?[/spoiler]
