Redemption's Gate Patient: Shandy Candy

[Shanbanana]

Climb ladder.

[Hostis Humani Generis]

When you reach the top of the ladder and open the covering, you find yourself in what appears to be an arts and crafts room. A patient can be seen standing motionless in one corner.

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

Get out of the hole quietly.

[Hostis Humani Generis]

You crawl out of the hole as slowly and quietly as you can. Grabbing a nearby table for balance, you're startled when it tips over, glitter and paint spilling everywhere. You look up, and notice that the patient is now facing you directly. He seems sad.

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

"A-are you sad?"

[Hostis Humani Generis]

"We're all sad..." He replies. "Why? Are you sad?"


What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

"Of course, I'm sad... we're all sad, like you said. What's your name? What are you doing in here?"

[Hostis Humani Generis]

"We don't have a name anymore..." He despaired. "They took it away. Made us wait in here. Said to wait until something killed us." He sat on the floor. "But we're so tired. We can't wait much longer."

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

"Oh. I see. Do you have to wait? Why don't you come with me instead? I can give you a new name."

[Hostis Humani Generis]

"That would be nice..." The boy replied, some hope now entering his voice. "We don't feel like waiting here anymore. It's... lonely."

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

Offer a hand. "Then come with me."

[Hostis Humani Generis]

The boy shifts nervously for a moment, looking uncertain. Finally he takes your hand and stands back up. "Where are we goi--" Before he can finish his sentence, a strange, winged creature flies into the room. It flies all around, darting at you now and again. You feel something wet on your right cheek, and realize that you're bleeding. The winged creature is cutting you with each passage!

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

Run out of the room, don't let go of the boy's hand, close the door behind us.

[Hostis Humani Generis]

As you close the door, you hear the creature slam into it, screeching. It begins to sound farther and farther away until you can't hear it at all. After a few moments of silence, the boy sighs. "We think that was meant for us. Sorry you were hurt."

What do you wish to do now?

[Shanbanana]

"That's okay. I'm glad you're safe. Hey, is there a name you would like to be called by?"

Meanwhile, look around.
