The darkness swallowed her as she looked around. 117. Detailing the surroundings, Lois noticed a completely unknown neighborhood. 118. "**This place is unfamiliar, Whatevah happened to Quahog?**" 119. Her anxious eyes scanned for any clue. 120. Elizabeth Street had an eerie stillness. 121. Lois walked down the quiet street alone. 122. She hoped each step would bring clarity. 123. Not a single person or vehicle in sight. 124. "**Anyone around heah?**" She called out but got no reply. 125. Slowly, she began to give up hope. 126. Exhaustion weighed her down as she walked back to the house. 127. Fear and uncertainty consumed her thoughts. 128. "**I've done lost mah gawd-damn mind, ain't it?**" 129. Trying to rest, she slumped on the porch. 130. The silence around her started to feel normal. 131. She reconsidered re-entering the house. 132. Exploring seemed the better idea now than sitting in darkness. 133. She heard a faint noise from inside. 134. Perplexed, she re-entered the house cautiously. 135. The noise grew louder, almost human. 136. "**Who's heah? Show yerself!**" 137. A small creak in the wooden floor upstairs. 138. Heart pounding, she tiptoed up the stairs. 139. The air was thick with suspense. 140. Every step amplified her worries. 141. Nearing the attic, she gathered her courage. 142. Peeking inside, she saw the game console light up again. 143. Another glitch, or just her eyes playing tricks? 144. "**This is mah only way out, I reckon.**" 145. She approached the glowing console. 146. With newfound determination, she decided to face whatever came next. 147. "**Lois Griffin ain't no coward.**" 148. Fingering the console controls once more. 149. The screen flashed different colors. 150. Lights filled the attic, blinding her momentarily. 151. The characters reappeared on the screen. 152. Her name, Lois Griffin, now highlighted. 153. "**Well, lettuce see what happens if I press start...**" 154. The console beeped and buzzed with activity. 155. The screen displayed "RETURN TO REALITY." 156. "**That's it! Return me back to Peetah an' the kids!**" 157. She pressed the button decisively. 158. Another laser shot from the TV. 159. Lois felt her body tingle again. 160. Yet nothing seemed to visibly change. 161. Suddenly, she felt lighter, as if floating. 162. Memories of Ethan’s old life merged with Lois's identity. 163. Torn between two identities, she struggled to focus. 164. "**I'm Lois, but I’m also someone else... who am I?**" 165. The confusion grew stronger, making her mind spin. 166. The game console began to hum louder. 167. "**I need to break free of dis.**" 168. Final memory of Ethan flickered—a young boy's face looking scared. 169. "**What is ya name, child?**" 170. A sudden jolt brought clarity. 171. With a scream, Lois... or was it Ethan, fell back. 172. The TV and console turned off abruptly, leaving the room in silence. 173. Panting, she found herself back to what seemed like reality. 174. Ethan’s face in the mirror brought some relief. 175. Dressed in clothes far too large, he was no longer Lois. 176. Confused but grounded in his young self. 177. "**Mommy! Daddy!**" His small voice echoed throughout the house. 178. Kate and Mark, startled, woke up. 179. They rushed to the source of the sound. 180. Seeing Ethan in oversized clothes shocked them. 181. "**Ethan, what... how?**" 182. Tears ran down Ethan’s face, **"I was somebody else, now I ain't sure no more!"** 183. Wrapping him in her arms, Kate comforted him. 184. Mark quickly disconnected the game console. 185. Wondering whether they should even keep it. 186. **"It’s okay, baby, you’re safe now,"** Kate assured. 187. Ethan’s memories of Lois started to fade. 188. He held on to his mom tighter. 189. "**Promise me I won't turn into nobody else, Mommy?**" 190. **"I promise, sweetheart,** you’re always Ethan,"** Kate said softly. 191. The house gradually settled back into peace. 192. Mark threw the game console in the basement, far out of Ethan’s reach. 193. They knew they had to protect Ethan from further incidents. 194. That night was one none of them would forget. 195. Ethan lay back down to rest, his mind finally at ease. 196. As Kate and Mark kept watch, ensuring he was safe. 197. Nathan cuddled into his bed, secure with the promise that he was Ethan. 198. Slowly, sleep reclaimed him, a peaceful slumber this time. 199. As the first light of dawn appeared, Nebraska’s day began. 200. And there was no hint of Lois Griffin in young Ethan’s world anymore.
