First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Nearly two weeks in the Haunted Mansion have passed. Parties were had, friends were made. In fact, maybe you've completely forgotten about the motive looming over all of you. However, as what might be dawn approaches the Mansion, you feel a strange feeling of dread as you wake up. Is it all in your head? There's only one way to find out.

Yeah, but--no, it shouldn't. Why should a secret be the one thing that does this?

[He lets a hand hover over Karolina's arm for a few seconds, then lowers it to mimic a comforting gesture. Even if he can't touch light, it has to mean something to her spirit.]

She wasn't tryin' to hurt anybody.

We may not have those kinds of secrets but... maybe someone does. All I know is... it wasn't like this before we were told that.

[Sophie hangs her head.]

I never thought it would come to this.

[Wander withdraws his hand and hangs his head. They were so close to being a unified group and working together to break out or trick the ghosts into letting them free. All twenty-five of them were going together, but that fantasy has been replaced with the sadder one of twenty-four. Karolina, who had cooked with Wander. Karolina, who was sweet and kind and deserved to live. All of them deserve to live.

He pulls his knees up and rests his face on there.

For now, he doesn't answer and focuses on his breathing.]
