2 Feld Mural You see a once-bright mural towering above you. The signage has peeled off over the years, but you can still make out: 'FELD ELECTRICAL R&D'.

3 Feld Mural Above the mural -- a collapsed roof, broken windows set in walls that are cracking and will soon also fall, and the coastal breeze rustling and sighing in the remains of the edifice.

  • 113

  • 112
20 Feld Mural The wind whispers and whispers.
  • 112
21 Kim Kitsuragi "Anyway -- we do it the old fashioned way: sector by sector. Go over the whole peninsula, ask the locals, enter the places where we *can* enter first. Like we did in the village."

  • 51
27 Kim Kitsuragi "How *do* we? I was really hoping she'd be in the village..." The lieutenant sighs, then gets a hold of himself: "Okay."
  • 28
28 Kim Kitsuragi "She's *probably* north of the village and this place is a peninsula. I think there's people west of here, we could ask them..." He looks to his right and cups his ear.
  • 129
29 Kim Kitsuragi "Because I *hope* you didn't mean to climb that ladder..." He points to the ladder next to the sign and says: "It's *not* safe."
  • 41
30 Conceptualization Or spiritual? She could be looking for refuge...
  • 21
31 Kim Kitsuragi "Then -- if we're desperate -- we can look where we *can't* enter. Bunkers, storm drainage, this place. I'm sure it won't come to that." He looks behind him, at the dark red box crumbling across the chasm.
  • 195
32 Shivers Listen to the wind -- but for *what*? Ruby whistling? The crackle of her bonfire? Some errant whisper, or a dog barking...
  • 33
  • 34
33 You What am I *doing* here?
  • 35
34 You Shake off the feeling.
  • 154
35 Shivers *WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?* A terrible cold comes over you as you think the words. They echo in your skull, alien suddenly.
  • 58
36 Shivers For what? A song carried on the breeze? Or children laughing, far away? You walk and walk these city streets and deserted coast, and all it ever tells you -- is cold.
  • 57
  • 63
37 Shivers *THERE IS NOTHING ELSE.* The thought makes your bones rattle, like the skeleton of some deserted building ready to collapse.
  • 64
  • 63
38 You [Leave.]
39 You "There's a ladder next to the sign." (Point to it.) "Perhaps we can climb it? Enter through the roof?"
  • 42
40 Kim Kitsuragi He stops to consider your words. "*Ask the wind* sounds like an expression. For when you have no idea. We should continue our search. Perhaps even get a little desperate..."
  • 75
41 Physical Instrument There has to be a way to use brute force. Climbing sounds unsafe. Brute force is safe. Look around and find something to break if the ladder fails.
  • 333
42 Kim Kitsuragi "Perhaps *you* can climb them. *We're* not climbing anything. I'm 43 years old -- and I plan to live to see 70."
  • 41
43 You "We've looked everywhere else."
  • 48
44 You Where does it go?
  • 88
45 Kim Kitsuragi He shrugs. "So how do we get in there? The doors were on the collapsed side of this building... they're gone, basically."

49 Kim Kitsuragi "And then there's the church." He looks at the bell tower. "If I were a murder suspect I would not hide in the most prominent building here, but who knows? Maybe she's reckless..."
  • 132
50 Shivers Suddenly, all is quiet. There is no cold hand brushing against your forehead, no rustle in the reeds. The wind has died down, or gone behind a corner? You only hear distant waves washing the coast.
  • 198
51 Shivers Trying to talk to the wind, or the city? Whatever you thought would happen did not, and now you're just standing there with your hands fallen to your side.

  • 153
63 You Just blow on your hands for warmth.
  • 155
64 You "Who said that?"
  • 157
65 Kim Kitsuragi "What? I didn't say anything." He looks at you. "What are we doing here? We keep returning and you act strange."
  • 165
66 You "I am performing *black magic*."
  • 68
67 You "I'm just thinking. This is me thinking. Nothing strange here."
  • 170
68 Kim Kitsuragi "Of course. Black magic. The most potent type of magic. If we're that desperate -- may I suggest getting shovels and digging?" A quiver of a smile.

  • 182
80 You "Ever since I woke up -- maybe even before -- I've been getting these strange *cold spells*."
  • 81

  • 89
88 Shivers In through the collapsed roof, flowing down a concrete staircase -- to the basement, sweeping away footprints in the dust on the stairs. And then the beach below the boardwalk, its winding tunnels... a whisper away.
  • 312
89 Kim Kitsuragi "Okay -- why?"
  • 47
90 Savoir Faire Finally, my time to shine!
  • 83
91 Shivers Suddenly there's a sigh, carried on the molecules around you, moving, flowing from high pressure to low pressure. Like that of a woman emptying her lungs. She wraps the collapsing stone box in front of you in her breath, flowing through it...
  • 44
92 You "Call it a gut feeling."
  • 45
93 Kim Kitsuragi "In there? She could. Or..." The lieutenant points behind you. "She could be in the *identical* ruin over there, or in that boat shack. In that church tower, maybe..."

  • 148
142 Perception (Hearing) Indeed. About 70 metres west from here.
  • 141
