The flickering light from their phones barely holds back the creeping darkness of the cave as the group crowds around the piece of paper. Kyle holds it in trembling hands, reading the riddle aloud for the third time, his voice filled with unease.

Kyle Reading aloud
"Two sisters, silent as night,
One seeks vengeance, one craves the fight.
They move like shadows, unseen, unsaid,
Leaving the living to count the dead.
When laughter fades and screams remain,
Only in darkness will you know their names."

As Kyle's voice trails off, a heavy silence falls over the group. The words hang in the air like a dark omen, and no one speaks for a moment.

Stan: "What the hell does that mean?" he say rubbing his face in frustration

butters looks at the photos on the board, his voice trembling

Butters: "S-Sisters? We don't know any sisters, do we?"

Tweek: "What kind of sick game are they playing?! We're supposed to figure this out while they pick us off one by one?! We're screwed! Totally screwed!"

Emily: "No, wait. Think about it. 'One seeks vengeance, one craves the fight.' That means they're motivated by different things... maybe one of them is after revenge, but the other one... just wants chaos."

Kyle: "It sounds like these killers are a pair. Working together."

Lucas: "But who the hell are they? And what do they want from us?"

Stan Stares at the riddle, his expression dark

Stan: "'One seeks vengeance.' It's got to be someone who's pissed about what happened before."

Emily: "But that could be anyone connected to last years incident. We're not exactly short on enemies."

Lucas: "What if... what if they're after you guys? You were there when Kenny and Craig—"

Stan cuts him off

Stan: "We don't know that, Lucas. We don't know anything right now."

Kyle's jaw tightens as he stares down at the riddle again, trying to make sense of it all. The eerie silence of the cave only makes everything feel more ominous, like they're being watched even now.

Kyle: "'Only in darkness will you know their names.' Maybe this isn't just a game. Maybe they want us to figure it out before they come for us."

Tweek: "Or maybe it doesn't matter! Maybe we're already dead!"

Lucas: "We need to stay focused. We can't fall apart now. The riddle might be the key to figuring out who's doing this."

Emily: "It's like they've been watching us... all along."

A cold shiver runs down everyone's spine as the realization sinks in. The killers knew everything—where they would be, who was with them, and who had already died. It's as if they were puppets in some twisted game, with every move watched and controlled.

Stan: "We need to stick together, figure this out, and get out of this cave. Fast."

But despite their efforts, the group stands there, puzzled and increasingly unnerved. The photos of their friends with red crosses on their faces seem to mock them as they try to piece together the meaning of the cryptic riddle.
