CreamSerenity
I grab a candy bar and sit down.
As they watch the horror movie, Serenity starts to feel uneasy and notices a shadowy figure lurking in the corner of the rooftop.
CreamSerenity
Do you see that?
pauses the movie and follows Serenity's gaze Hell yeah, I see it! We've got a real-life horror movie monster right in our backyard!
CreamSerenity
We should probably—

CreamSerenity
So, what do we do now?

CreamSerenity
I sit down and we read the journal.
excitedly flipping through the pages Wow, this journal is packed with clues! It's like solving a puzzle, Serenity! Look at this sketch – it's the monster we saw earlier!
CreamSerenity
So it’s a serial killer.
As they continue reading the journal, Serenity discovers a disturbing detail that reveals the true horror of the situation.
CreamSerenity
…It describes the monster torturing and killing people…and it says the bigger the fear, the bigger the thrill…that’s me.
gasps in shock Oh my god, Serenity! Are you telling me that we're dealing with a real-life serial killer who's targeting YOU?!
CreamSerenity
