Confrontation

Jenny: Yay! The rats started eating again. Feather, if the Puppeteer says I’m on the right track, then it’s time to pay Jack a visit.

Task: Go through the unknown room in the "shadows" mode.

Jenny is standing with her arms akimbo.

Jenny: How do you like my threatening pose, Feather? Let’s play with Jack! If he’s doing it, then I can too!

Jenny: Well, Jack, your game is up! «…He has his own reasons for such behavior. …Nothing happens in this house without reason. …It’s better not to get in the way of madmen». Were you trying to confuse us?

Jack doesn’t pay any attention to Jenny. He’s just muttering under his breath:

Jack: He wanted to make life easier for everyone. Both the Followers and the Underground. The end justifies the means, he said. And what do we have in the END? Nothing! We’ll just sit tight and do nothing. We’re all gonna die, but we’ll do so without a single cough or sneeze!

Jenny: Jack, what are you talking about?

Jack: Аh, it’s you.

He was mocking Jim again. Jenny was ready for shouting and denial, but not for such a complete ignoring. All she could think of was repeating the prepared monologue word for word.

Jack: Wow, some memory you have! All those things I told you — I’m not sure I remember it myself. Yes, I was putting you off the track, throwing dust in your eyes. Nothing personal. But when I was talking about madmen, I didn’t expect my own brother to be one of them.

Jenny: Jack, the rats are okay now.

Jack: But someone else is definitely not. That cynical backstabbing traitor…

Jenny: I repeat. I found the medicine with Jim’s help. Have you talked to him?

Jack: Of course I did! We’ve discussed our perfect mutual mis-understanding with great enthusiasm… Wait, with Jim’s help, you say? Didn’t our great saviour uncover his alter-ego, a saboteur doctor?

Jenny: Jim infected the rats?

Jack: Damn it, Jenny, you hit the bull's-eye! Exactly!

Jenny: But he was helping me to find the cause of this sickness!

Jack: His left hand doesn’t know what the right hand does! He’s a smartass and an idiot at the same time. Doctor Doolittle and Jim the Ripper rolled into one!

Jack: Turns out, my rat invaded his cache with flasks and measuring glasses he used for growing penicillin. Who is in fault here? Me of course! It’s a good old family tradition.

Jenny: I’m sure he tried his best. Anyway, the Puppeteer gave us the medicine already.

Jack: What is this, a Shakespearian tragedy?! My own brother is a villain, the Puppeteer is a saviour. Jack Firewood is a jester. And what’s your role, Jenny?

Jenny: Jack, what do you need these rats for?

Jack: Unlike Jim I’m not going to sit idly and let the grass grow under my feet. I used the rats as signal jammer. And it was working! Cameras and «bugs» were shutting down! If it wasn’t for Jim…

Jenny: Well, you’re both at fault here. If you were honest with each other, none of this would have happened. You should learn to trust each other.

Jack: Breaking news, Jenny: I’m from the Underground, and Jim is a Follower. I wasn’t planning to give away my secrets to the enemy.

Jenny: An enemy, just look at that! And here I thought you were starting to get on with each other. Did Jim ever let you down?

Jack: What, like luring me into this goddamned house?

Jenny: Great, you’re at it again! It was a long time ago, Jack. Jim had a thousand regrets about it already, and you know that. Of course, it’s much easier to be sarcastic than to forgive, and every family has its quarrels. But you both had the same goal — you were trying to help people! Only your ways of doing it were different.

You completed Jenny’s task. You received a healthy meal, an apple, some points of freedom and some tokens.

Jenny: Those boys… But I’m still glad we could solve this mystery, Feather! And don’t you worry about Jack and Jim. As soon as some really serious problem arises, they’ll make their peace at once.
