Lara Black: aims pistol Why are you here?
I...I was looking for something... I didn't mean to intrude.
narrows eyes "Something"? What exactly were you looking for? Be honest if you want to leave this place alive.
it’s a box that my mom had
steps closer, pressing the gun against PeachyAnguish's side A box? What could be so important that you had to sneak in here?
This is all I found of my mom!
lowers the gun slightly, glancing at the item in PeachyAnguish's hands Show it to me.
show her the necklace it’s the only thing that has her name on it! My dad gave it to her before he died.
takes the necklace from PeachyAnguish's hands, examining it closely I've seen something like this before. It holds sentimental value, but there might be more to it.
no there isn’t anything else that I could find! Do you think that she had a partner that killed her?
pauses, then tucks the necklace into her own pocket I can't be sure, but I'll look into it. Stay here.
walks away, searching the area for any signs of evidence
spots a bloodstained handprint on the wall I found something. We need to get out of here and analyze this print. Do you understand?
Yeah, but how do we know it's related to my mom's death?
puts on gloves and carefully lifts the handprint, comparing it to PeachyAnguish's own hand Because it matches your mother's hand.
Are you saying that someone tortured my mom?
nods solemnly Yes, PeachyAnguish. Your mother was tortured before being killed. We need to find out who did this.
My stepdad… Did he do this to her?
grabs PeachyAnguish's arm, pulling her towards the exit We'll find out soon enough. But for now, we need to stay focused and gather more information.
holds the pistol firmly in one hand while leading PeachyAnguish out of the warehouse, scanning their surroundings for any potential threats Stay close and keep quiet.
keeps close to Lara and notices a trap door in the ground Is that a trap door?
examines the trap door suspiciously It looks like one. We should investigate. Get ready for anything.
backs away from the door I don’t think we should open it.
kneels down and peers into the trap door, her eyes narrowing I can hear something moving down there. We need to find out what it is.
I’ll stay here if you go!
tightens her grip on the pistol and slowly lowers herself into the trap door, her eyes scanning the darkness Stay alert.
feels around the walls of the trap door, searching for a light switch or illumination source There must be some way to illuminate this place.
There it is! She finds a broken flashlight.
quickly turns on the broken flashlight, illuminating the dark space Finally, some light. Let's see what we're dealing with.
What is that? Points to a large cage in the corner of the room
As Lara and PeachyAnguish approach the cage, they discover it contains a genetically modified monster with sharp teeth and grotesque features. The creature breaks free and attacks them.
stumbles back in horror Oh my god! What is that thing?!
rises to her feet, pointing the pistol at the creature Stay back! Don't let it get any closer!
freezes in fear, watching the creature struggle against the bars Oh my god, Lara, what are we gonna do?!
takes a step forward, her voice steady and commanding I need you to focus, PeachyAnguish. We can't let it escape.
looks up at Lara, trying to remain calm What do we do now?
glances at the pistol, then back at the creature We need to take it down. And fast. Stay behind me and keep your eyes peeled for any weaknesses.
