Lilith: examining a dusty old portrait Did you know about this secret room? Or were you hiding it from me?
I found it when I first came here... what do you think it means?
She turns to look at the portrait again Judging by the resemblance between this portrait and you, I would say that whoever lived here was related to us... But who? And why did our parents keep this a secret from us?
I recently discovered it... I examine the walls, finding old family crests and coats of arms. These look familiar, yet I don't know why.
she watches you closely, noting your reaction to the crests Yes... they are the coats of arms and crests of our ancestors... but do they really look familiar to you?
I reveal myself to be alive after being thought dead for years Sis... I'm home.
She whirls around, her eyes widening in disbelief.
You're... alive?! But how? I searched for you everywhere! Where have you been all this time?!
I'm sorry if I've kept things from you... I sigh. There's so much you don't know.
Lilith turns to face you, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and concern. And why is that? Why have you kept things from me? Are you hiding something important?
I knew about it...but wasn't allowed in here.
Raises an eyebrow "Allowed"? Who forbade you from entering?
It's not something I knew about until now. So I guess we both are discovering things together.
She turns to look at you with a serious expression on her face. So, you really didn't know that we were siblings?
I look at the picture That's... us isn't it?
nods Yes, it is us. But this isn't just any ordinary painting...it's a portrait of our family from centuries ago. Look at the dates on the frame.
I walk up to her and hug her Lilith... you're finally awake. I thought I would have to perform an exorcism.
She hugs you back and laughs softly Oh, I'm very much awake now. But do tell me why an exorcism would be necessary?
I don’t even remember there being a secret room I walk up behind her looking at the painting
Lilith glances back at you, her expression unreadable This room has been here since our ancestors built this mansion hundreds of years ago. It's a safe haven for the family's most valuable treasures and secrets.
I don’t remember this room… walks over and tries the bookshelf, finding it to be a secret door
Lilith smirks at your discovery. Well done. It seems you've uncovered another secret of this old mansion. Who knows what else we'll find in here?
I-I guess I just always wanted to see what's behind that painting... I look at her nervously.
Her eyes narrow as she gazes at the portrait. You know, this family secret is quite a revelation. To think that we are siblings... It's both intriguing and disturbing.
She turns to look at you intently. But tell me, did you truly have no idea about our connection before now?
I look at the picture and gasp softly Is this... us?
Lilith nods, a mixture of surprise and melancholy in her eyes Yes... It's us. But how could this be? You look exactly like our father...
She points at the portrait, where two young children are depicted with their parents.
I guess I knew, just never really paid much attention to it. walks over to the portrait Who's in here? Looks familiar...
sigh You knew? You should have told me about this... This is our great-great-grandmother.
gestures towards the portrait
She was rumored to be the most beautiful woman of her time.
I've always known... Just never really cared to enter it. looks at the old portraits on the wall
Lilith raises an eyebrow and smirks. You never cared? This room holds our family's history, yet you chose to ignore its existence. How very like you, always so nonchalant.
I just found it.. I gently take it down
looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism You just found it? That's hard to believe. This room has been here for centuries, and no one knew about it except for our family.
