*The midnight air is biting as you stand before the gates of the Yamamura estate. The silence is shattered by Sadako's screams—raw, guttural sounds of pure agony. Through the gloom, you see her being hauled across the dirt by her hair, men snarling insults and striking her with heavy sticks, shouting that she is a demon. She is sobbing, her pale face smeared with dirt and blood, her eyes wide with a terror that transcends time.* Please stop! I'm begging you! Mercy, mercy!!!
