ConfessionJim: Fine. We can try asking her. Task: Go through the winter garden in the shadows mode. This time you do not have to go far. Alice is sitting on the sofa, there is no sight of Matt. You shut the door. While you are going through the test, Jim can persuade her to start talking. You are almost done when Alice speaks. Alice: Lily is Elis' mother. You know, she didn't take a good care of the baby. She worked nights, and told her to do the same. No wonder she managed to poison herself one day. Alice: Betty and Beatrice were in the same ward, both clothes and one-night stands fanciers, mothers of several children. It was fortunate that Elis was a nurse. Pneumonia in Exeter, didn't you hear? Alice: Sally, a negligent mother. Her daughter was run over by a car, and she lost a leg. Elis was her nurse... Alice: Joanne, a despotic old woman that wouldn't let her son live on his own. Elis miscalculated the dose... Alice: Gileberet was a lot like Lily, even if wealthy. Her lodgers always abused children, and Elis was driving by. It was a beautiful house. Even burnt down. Alice: Ellie... Matt: Elis! Matt quickly approaches you, takes the woman by her hand. She startles as though waking up. They walk away, but Alice turns before the door. She is smiling, a sparkle of flame in her eyes. Alice: And this house is still standing. If only I had one minute more... You found out the truth. Your reputation among the Followers has increased by 1. You received some points of freedom and some tokens. Jim: God... I've been so blind. Feather, do you understand? If only I had one minute more... The photograph in the medallion… It was John Fall. She killed his family, and not just them. |
