Goals:
* LOVE: Find a visual memory of your relationship * FEAR: Confess your honest feelings for one another by a warm fire * ANGER: Destroy an expensive technological device together

"Are you ok, Bobbi?" Mel had pulled Bobbi aside from everyone but was still whispering. "I'm afraid the kidnapper might have done... something to us. But thinking about it just scares me even more."

Bobbi screamed as she was approached by a scary gray man
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Bobbi replied quietly. "But I feel normal, and I don't get the impression they would treat us differently than the other people here. Just try not to worry too much about it. We should focus on how we're going to get back home."
She glanced at her bracelet.
"Like these goals we have...Honestly, I'm having trouble making sense of them. They almost seem oddly simple."

there there he's all gone now
"They do seem oddly simple." Mel frowned. "At least I think I know how we could solve our trial almost immediately. If we did the LOVE trial that is."

"Really?" Bobbi asked. "Have you found something like that? There's pictures around the pond of the two of us separately, but I'm not sure that counts..."

“Nancy.” Mel answered. “Do you remember when we first met?” It seemed Mel might be checking to see whether or not Bobbi did.

Bobbi’s brow furrowed uncertainty.
“Nancy?” She asked. “I mean, I remember we met way back at that camp, and I think you were crying about something? But it’s been so long. I don’t really remember it that well.”

"Well I'm pretty sure the camp counselor was her." Mel said, but now she sounded more uncertain. "Her name was Mrs Goodfellow at least. And I'm sure there must be some meaning to all of us being here..."

“Huh? No way,” Bobbi glanced at Nancy, who was probably still on the room. “But then—what would she even be doing here? Like, that has to be a coincidence, right? Cause that seems like such an arbitrary reason to bring us all here!”

The previous conversation could not be finished before they were shuffled into separate rooms. Mel was now comforting an injured and burnt Bobbi. Slowly, she showed three photos to Bobbi, offering them to her. All of them were of the two women.
* One where the two of them look to be about six or seven, sitting at a picnic table outside. In the background, kids are playing around some tents. * One where the two of them look to be sixteen or seventeen, Melanie and Bobbi are posed with their arms wrapped around wach other. In the background there seems to be a bunch of balloons in big arches in a what seems to be a dimly lit indoor room. This might be a school dance. * One where the two of them look to be about their current age. Bobbi and Melanie are posing together at a beach in swimsuits.
Mel didn't say anything but just tried to smile reassuringly. It seemed like a sufficient win for the LOVE trial, at least she hoped.

“Oh, huh,” Bobbi muttered listlessly. “Already? That was surprisingly easy…Good job.”
She trailed off and wrapped her hands around her stomach.
“I didn’t find anything in our room. But there was a puzzle where I had to put in our street address. I didn’t like that…”

The two of you go to the theater to mess with some machinery for your ANGER goal.
The both of you see the equipment, but Melanie stops Bobbi from punching it. "We should probably make sure it's not important. Maybe find some weapons."
You hit one of the buttons on the machine and you are greeted to the following movie:
The movie is in first person. The point of view seems to be a young child. He is in the backyard of a two story house in a massive countryside covered in dry, yellow grass.
The child looks up at the house, probably to hear where that blast came from. A dog starts barking from nearby.
The child goes around to the front of the house and opens the front door. The house is dim with some afternoon light streaming in. He calls for his parents.
He enters the next room and there, on the floor is a woman and a baby. Both of them have huge bleeding wounds, the kind that would be caused by the lethal end of a buckshot hunting weapon. The same kind of weapon that creeps into view, in the hands of some older, balding man.
There’s a scream. Screaming bloody murder.
The child starts running throughout the house, looking for a place to get away from the man with the gun. In the distance, the man calls his name: “Ren! Get back here! I had to do it!”
Ren opens the front door and starts wading away into the field of grass. He ducks down in the field.
The man steps out of the house, barely visible from Ren’s hiding spot.
Barking can be heard before a shot rings out and the barking stops.
Footsteps start drawing closer and closer. Ren peeks around, unable to see the man. Suddenly a shadow washes overhead
Another ear-blisteringly terrifying shot rings out.
Ren’s vision starts to fade. He’s dying.
Melanie and Bobbi look to one another, disturbed. You decide that the machine probably isn't really needed. You go to break it, but can't find any way to puncture the machine.
You try for quite a few minutes. Bobbi tries to pull an attached headset out and it disconnects with a pop.
"Does that count?"
Suddenly Dahlia comes in. She explains that her and Ren need some points and some human sacrifices, but that they'll be saved.
You both give her a weird look. Melanie asks if you can borrow her cane. In the end, Dahlia leaves, saying "Yeah, I figured."
A little bit later, deciding you can't do anything more, you leave the room and gather where the others are.

Mel pulls Bobbi to the side and whispers. “So what do you think? Could we destroy that device by the fountain? Is the lion suit completely broken at this point? Maybe we could do that instead?”
She grips her hand tightly, maybe a little too tightly, for reassurance.

After worrying for a little while, the two check their bracelets - 2 points. Just one more needed!

"Wait, what?" Bobbi wrinkled her nose at her bracelet. "Did we destroy a device at some point? I'm really confused."
She sighed and slammed a palm against her forehead.
"Whatever. We just have the fire left now, then? Let's just get it over with, I guess."
