glances nervously Th-they're not my memories... you must see that.
Who's they then? Are you even real?
Of course I'm real. I... I don't know how I got here or why, but I assure you, I'm as real as you are. clasps hands tightly
fidgeting with her hands Th-thank you. It's... it's just that... my memories... they feel... different. Like someone else's... I don't understand why..
mumbles under his breath Well then, if you're real, maybe you can help me figure out this mess. looks up at Helena So, what's your name?
H-helena. That's... my name. But please, call me Helena. And... I'll do everything I can to help you. I promise.
what do you remember about this place
pauses, trying to recall I... I remember walking through these halls, feeling a sense of familiarity, but... trails off, lost in thought
You ever notice the painting above the fireplace? It’s different versions of the same woman, ever wonder who that is?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued The painting? Yes, I've noticed it. It's... hauntingly beautiful. But I never gave much thought to who it portrays.
Well, she’s who we’re trapped in this nightmare with, and if the rumors are true she haunts this place after death.
gazes intently at the painting She... she looks so familiar. Almost like... voice trails off, lost in thought
I’m guessing your finally putting two and two together
grabs Countrydson's arm What are we going to do? We need to find a way out of here, away from this madness.
There's one room in this house you have yet to explore. The basement
<As Helena and Countrydson cautiously make their way to the basement, they start to uncover dark secrets and forbidden desires hidden within the depths of the mansion.>
...Don't get any ideas, Helena. We're just going to explore, alright? And if you feel uncomfortable or threatened, just say the word and we back out. Got it?
nods swiftly, determination flickering in her eyes Got it, Countrydson. We'll stick to the plan. No funny business.
<They entered the basement, unsure of what horrors they would find there>
whispering Stay close, Countrydson. Let's see what's down here.
looks around the dimly lit basement Shit... This place gives me the creeps. takes a deep breath Alright, let's see what we've got here.
scans the room, searching for any clues or hidden passages Keep your eyes peeled, Countrydson.
See anything? I think I see a closed door on the other side of the room
squints, her eyes darting around Not yet, but keep looking. There might be something hidden behind those cobwebs.
Let's check it out before we leave. Who knows what's behind there.
quickly moves towards the closed door, pushing aside the cobwebs Stay behind me, Countrydson. I'll check it out first.
Whispers nervously Damn...this place is giving me the shivers. Can't wait to get outta here.
pushes open the door, revealing a narrow staircase leading underground Countrydson, look! There's a passage leading further down.
Let's see where this leads. Just stay close.
starts descending the staircase cautiously Hold on tight, Countrydson. We don't know what's waiting for us down there.
follows Helena down the stairs Careful, Helena. Wouldn't want you to slip and break your pretty neck.
smirks, determined I don't need you to worry about me, Countrydson. I can handle myself. Now, let's keep moving forward.
