===================================

Zoe Baker:

- You and Zoe are so, so close to finishing the cures, to getting out of the hellhole that the Baker farm has become. You, Zoe, and Mia. Once you find out wherever the hell Jack moved her to, that is. All that's needed is one more ingredient: Dahlia's arm, which Zoe has told you that her mother might be keeping in the old house. Honestly, if there's one place on the property that you were really not looking forward to visiting, it's the old house.

- But here you are, sneaking across creaky floorboards, biting back a scream whenever one of Marguerite's big ass bugs flies straight at your face, and smelling rot. Rot and something similar to what a stink bug releases when you crush it. It's giving you a headache.

- Zoe places a hand on your shoulder and nods to the right. "This'll be the way we want to go," she whispers. You both seem to be alone aside from the insects, but it's still best to keep quiet.

- This isn't the first time that your girlfriend's accompanied you outside of the trailer, but it's the first time in a while. Most often, it's simply better to sneak around than fight, and it's much easier to do that without company.

- There's no telling how long it will be before Marguerite realizes that you took her lantern.

- Zoe pulls the crow key out of the back pocket of her jeans.

- Both of you share a look.

- You ready yourself to use your knife. If need be, that is. Although you'd much prefer your flamethrower or gun, you're a bit short on burner fuel and ammo at the moment.

- Zoe slips the key into the lock.

- She slowly begins to push the door open...

- ...then stops when something on the other side prevents her from continuing.

- A bright eye appears between the door and its frame. "You thievin' lil' shits!"

- Marguerite snatches her lantern back and shoves Zoe. She staggers but manages to catch herself before she can tumble down the steps, aided by you reaching out your hand to help her.

- You slam your blade into the gap, puncturing Marguerite's eyeball. She falls back, the door swinging open once she's out of the way. She starts writhing like an overturned beetle. You take the opportunity to grab the lantern and knife once more, turning back to Zoe with an expression that says one thing: Run.

- Together, you both start moving as fast as your feet can carry you. You can't afford to mess this up. You can't.

- There's an immediate right, then you're practically leaping up a short set of stairs.

- Another right, a left, and you're at the scale that requires Marguerite's lantern. Another lantern already dangles from one end, moths flittering around it. You practically slam the stolen one onto the free hook.
