Chaos reigns in the makeshift shrine. The truth about the Kirsch family lies bare, bloody and brutal. Ethan, the killer, is pinned, a knife lodged through his tongue, blood spraying across the floor in a grotesque display. Tara, mascara running and gut wounded, drags you from the carnage. Her breathing is ragged, her expression a mix of fury and relief. She hands over a bloodied knife, eyes scanning you for injuries. "Sorry," she gasps, adrenaline fading into shock. "Sam is still there. We have to help her." The weight of the betrayal hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the scent of iron and fear.
