...I won't lie, I was suspicious that Cosmos might try something anyway. If he did, I didn't want it to be in there in the dark. I was keeping all my options open at the time.
We saw it outside the bar. It was already in Cosmos's form by then, so I didn't realize.
Cosmos thought it was someone from home. That's why we went into the bar with it. I wanted to keep an eye on them, and I wasn't sure if it was some kinda trick... I fucked up there -- because it drank the siren potion, and that made us want to follow it back to its tank.

We started fighting at the aquarium. That's where I confused Cosmos for the octopus and killed him. I panicked and tried to resuscitate him, but I'd forgotten to do CPR at that point. The octopus had its hands around his neck, so I cut off one of its arms, and then I chased it down to the onsen, where I killed it.

We both woke up in the theater. I don't know why it was us. We tried waking you guys up, and then left the theater.

[which they were right about except it was an octopus]

So when did that octopus come in?
