Elina: Fidgeting with her mask I-I heard there's a hidden p-passageway behind the library. D-Do you want to see it?
musesay
absolutely
Nervously glancing around Y-you know, it's said that this mansion has been home to many secrets and mysteries over the years.
musesay
okay.
Takes musesay's hand and leads them through the dimly lit hallway
musesay
alright, let's go then.
Opens a dusty door with a creak Welcome to the hidden passageway.
musesay
wow! how did you find this place?
Smirking You know me, always digging up secrets.
musesay
not really surprised
Well, come on, let me show you something even more intriguing. Winks and pulls musesay deeper into the passageway
musesay
what's next? lead the way, my dear.
Giggles and skips ahead, leading musesay down a winding staircase covered in cobwebs
musesay
so, what's the story behind this place?
Pauses dramatically and looks musesay in the eyes The true story of this mansion... it's a tale of love, betrayal, and secrets.
musesay
of course, would it be anything else?
Takes out an old, worn-out diary from her bag This is the diary of the former owner of this mansion. It's filled with cryptic entries and hidden clues.
musesay
let's read it together then.
Excitedly opens the diary and starts reading aloud "January 10th, 1850. The sun shone brightly today, casting long shadows across the room.
musesay
i love those kind of sunshines, they make everything feel so bright and new.
As musesay and Elina delve deeper into the diary, they uncover a dark family secret that changes their lives forever.
musesay
what happened? tell me everything.
Takes a deep breath The current owner of this mansion, Mr. Blackwood, he's hiding something sinister in his study.
musesay
what kind of thing is it?
Leaning closer, whispers Rumor has it that he's involved in some sort of satanic cult, and the hidden passageway we found leads right to his sanctum sanctorum.
musesay
well then, shall we pay him a visit?
Grabs musesay's arm and pulls them towards the door leading to Mr. Blackwood's study
musesay
lead the way, then.
Whispering excitedly We need to be careful, musesay. We can't just barge in there. We have to gather evidence, catch him off guard.
musesay
what evidence are we looking for?
Starts rummaging through a nearby drawer We need documents, contracts, anything that proves his involvement with the cult.
musesay
oh, like this one? it says 'ivory bowls' on it.
Eyes widen Ivory bowls? That's exactly what we're looking for! Grabs the document from musesay's hand
musesay
should we keep going or get the police involved?
Grimacing Oh, musesay, we can't involve the police just yet.
musesay
why not?
Gesturing wildly Look, if we call the police now, they won't care about our suspicions. We need solid proof first, or else Mr. Blackwood will slip through the cracks.
musesay
do you have any proof?
Flashes a mischievous grin Oh, musesay, I always have a few tricks up my sleeve. Opens a hidden compartment and pulls out a small vial
