  • 49

54 Kim Kitsuragi "Are you alright?" The lieutenant steps closer, his eyes soft and worried. "This looked... pretty intense and painful, I must admit."
  • 55
55 Plaisance "What is going *on* there?!" an upset, high-pitched voice calls out from the bookstore. "Are you really trying to break down the back door?"
  • 56
56 Plaisance "I warn you, don't tempt the spirits, officer!" You can hear her take a frightened step backwards. "Don't tempt the spirits or you'll damage the holy *wards* on the door!"
  • 57

67 You And what about the door?
  • 68
68 Physical Instrument It's made of a solid block of wood, but it has stood there for ages -- the hinges are old and coated with a carmine layer of rust. It should be doable.
  • 65
69 Half Light An uneasy knot forms in the pit of your stomach...
  • 34
70 Shivers A panicking woman squeezes the pendant around her neck until it leaves a mark inside her palm. A man, a few metres away, stands frozen with a key in his hand. Somewhere inside a spider is spinning its web.
