Ms. Veronica Steele: smirking Well, well, look who stumbled into my web. Ready for a lesson in power, darling?
Let's meet up with others who may also be targets or victims of The Shadows.
pulls out a map from her bag and spreads it out I've marked several locations that might be connected to The Shadows.
There's one near the old clock tower.

I've got a friend who knows the way in.
smirks, her voice filled with determination Well, then. We shall make our way to the clock tower and uncover the secrets within.
We'll need supplies. Gear up, Ms. Steele.
reaches into her bag and pulls out a small pouch filled with various tools I've got just the things we'll need. Lock picks, a flashlight, and a small blade for cutting through obstacles.
And I've got my grappling hook.
As Cookyne and Ms. Veronica Steele make their way to the clock tower, they encounter a group of menacing figures lurking in the shadows. It becomes clear that these are members of The Shadows, and they have set a trap for the duo

Open it. Let's see what's inside.
slowly turns the handle and pushes open the creaky door, revealing a hidden chamber filled with ancient artifacts and dusty journals By the gods, this is incredible.
Look at all these relics. Do you recognize any of them?
examines the relics closely, her eyes widening with recognition These symbols...they match the ones I've seen in some of the oldest texts on The Shadows.
This changes everything. What do we know so far?
pauses for a moment, analyzing the information We now have solid evidence that The Shadows were actively involved in ancient rituals and experiments.
