[00:34.80]I decided¹ at this point to check the outlet² behind the T.V.
[00:38.92]where they were both plugged into.
[00:42.21]They were fine.
[00:43.71]We shrugged³ it off again and turned the T.V. back on.
[00:47.40]This time I decided to just leave the lamp off,
[00:51.37]thinking that might be the TV's issue.
[00:54.58]Maybe a power surge or something.
[00:57.97]Another 10 minutes later, the T.V. flipped⁴ off again.
[01:02.03]This time I looked at Cynthia
[01:04.38]and playfully accused her turning it off herself
[01:08.01]with the remote.
[01:09.86]She looked back at me
[01:11.25]and told me the remote had been missing for the whole day.
[01:15.77]I hadn't paid any attention to it before,
[01:18.59]but every time she turned the T.V. back on,
[01:21.47]she'd gotten up to do it.
[01:25.02]I was looking at her when she told me this and as I did,
[01:29.22]I noticed something over her shoulder move.
[01:32.31]I thought at first it was the after image
[01:34.98]from the T.V. burned into my eyes,
[01:38.06]so I waited for it to go away, but it didn't.
[01:41.48]Cynthia noticed I was looking over her shoulder
[01:44.50]with an odd look on my face
[01:46.92]so she turned around and looked.
[01:49.13]Where we were looking
[01:50.77]was from the living room into the kitchen
[01:53.30]since they were both connected,
[01:55.62]but separated by a breakfast bar,
[01:58.51]with a hallway connecting to the hallway,
[02:01.32]leading to the front door
[02:02.60]and her dad's bedroom and the bathroom.
