Turn 5. Dr. Unpleasant continues looking around the room, watched back in turn by the silent shadows surrounding him like a hostile courtroom of darkness. He's not able to discern much more from where he's standing, only that there seems to be a dim purplish glow coming from beyond the shadowy mass across the room.
Dr. Unpleasant proceeds to look in the suspiciously eerie drawer. However, the drawer is locked, for better or for worse. There is a keyhole in the middle part of the drawer, though in its rickety condition, perhaps there are others ways of forcing it open, if one were determined enough to seek whatever lies within.
Taking a closer look at the mementos, Dr. Unpleasant notices a few wooden figurines that seem to be a part of a collection. One of the figurines looks rather familiar... in fact, it looks very much like a small wooden figure of Dr. Unpleasant himself! Examining the other five figurines, they seem to also resemble the other five people that arrived here with him. Surely, this was another coincidence, a misconception of the mind?
The other mementos on the shelf include various trinkets and charms, including an ornate-looking rod, a larger figurine of a demonic three-tongued creature, and a miniature head, disturbingly realistic in its textures and features.
Meanwhile upstairs, Player obtains a High Explosive Grenade through the interface of his specialized equipment, and pulls the pin, throwing it to the strange girl huddled in the corner.
The girl looks disinterestedly at the deadly armament that rolls next to her, half-heartedly anticipating the fiery finale that was expected to come... but none did. The grenade simply makes a light mechanical whirring sound, releasing a small amount of gas afterwards. It seems that perhaps the detonator had malfunctioned.
"Huh, I guess it's not my time just yet." She shrugs to herself.
The girl watches Scarlet approach, her expression still a disinterested curiosity. She looks at the treat being offered to her, and soon takes it, unwrapping it and taking a bite.
"Mmm... I haven't had anything like this in a while." She looks up at Scarlet. "You must not be from around here, huh?" She takes another bite. "That's a pity. You don't deserve to be here. Then again, who does?..." She continues eating the chocolate, looking around the room at the shadows like old acquaintences, wearing the same detached expression.
Meanwhile downstairs the dreadful moaning from the basement begins to dwindle, now becoming a soft and seemingly everpresent humming, low and ghostly. Aside from this the room is quiet. The fires near the door begin to die down as well, as only a small cinder remains, darkening the room significantly. Shadows begin creeping out with the diminishing of light, their insubstantial whispers commingling with the haunted humming coming from the basement.
In the corner of the room, it seems that Mustard Frank has fallen unconscious, perhaps or perhaps not due to his discovery of the plant inside the drawer.
