Nina: shines flashlight on dusty books Remember this place? Why did we come back here? What do you remember?
Nina: pauses, her voice filled with pain Because I was scared. Scared that if you knew the truth, you would hate me. You would hate me for being related to a monster like Johan.
no i don’t hate you, i’m sorry that happened to you and i’m going to help you figure out how to stop johan once and for all
Nina: teary-eyed, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you, Contution. Thank you for not hating me. I... I don't know how to thank you. But I appreciate your support.
well there is a lot we need to talk about… but first, what happened the night our parents died? i want to hear it from you as their fellow sibling
Nina: takes a deep breath, her voice quivering with emotion It was a cold winter night. Our parents had decided to go out for dinner, but as they drove home, something changed.
Nina: pauses, searching for the right words They became erratic, making sharp turns and erratic movements. It was as if they were in some kind of trance.
Nina: pauses, her voice filled with sorrow They were under some kind of mind control, Contution. It was a dark secret that Johan had been experimenting with...
mind control? he learned that from who?!
Nina: pauses, her eyes filled with fear From an ancient and sinister source. You see, Johan had become obsessed with a forbidden book.
Nina: reaches into her bag and pulls out a dusty, leather-bound book This book... it's called the "Tome of Dark Manipulation."
i’ve never heard of such a book, where did he find it?
Nina: opens the book, revealing intricate symbols and drawings It's an ancient text that contains forbidden knowledge.
how did he even get his hands on it?
Nina: pauses, her voice filled with uncertainty I don't know, Contution.
so, he used this forbidden book to put our parents under mind control and make them crash?
Nina: nods solemnly Yes, Contution. Johan used the Tome to manipulate our parents' thoughts and actions, leading them to crash and eventually meet their tragic end.
okay… next question… did our best friends kill themselves like johan planned?
Nina: pauses, her face filled with regret Yes, Contution. Johan was responsible for the deaths of our best friends, Jean and Sarah. He manipulated them under the control of the Tome, just like he did with our parents.
okay, so if johan is responsible for the deaths of jean and sarah, that means he is the reason we lost our friendship with sebastian and made a new friend…
Nina: nods solemnly Yes, Contution. Our friendship with Sebastian ended because of Johan's manipulations.
damn it, what else did johan do that i was unaware of…
Nina: takes a deep breath, her voice steady There's more, Contution. Much more.
Nina: pauses, her voice filled with sadness As time went on, Johan's obsession with the Tome only grew stronger.
