[ There's a note in one of the drawers, and the other is full of ripped up photographs. On top of the desk there's dusty school books and supplies, as well as something that looks like a diary. ]
[ "Meet at the usual place. Don't be late. Remember, you can't tell your parents anything about what's been going on. Never forget: we're your family now, not them." ]
[ As soon as you touch the diary, you see a memory:
You're on the phone, begging your mom to let you come home. You don't understand why she lets your stepdad control her like this. If you could go home, you could make sure he's treating your little sisters okay, and you could make your mom ditch the loser, and you could fix all of this. ]
[ Well, there are some actual written entries, but it's mostly typical 11-year-old stuff. "We had meatloaf for dinner tonight, I haaate that." "Jack is tutoring me in math, he is such a dork." "Caine Soren said hi to me today. He is so cool." ]
[ The path takes you around to the back of the building. There’s a large gazebo sitting in the courtyard there. There are several pieces of rope hanging from the gazebo’s railing, and a bucket of wet concrete sitting beside it. ]
[ The memory hits you suddenly. Being woken in the middle of the night to hands pulling you roughly out of bed. Trying to fight them off, being unable to. Being hit in the temple and dragged toward the trough of wet cement. Hearing Drake laughing as you beg, trying to change his mind. Knowing that once this is done, you're completely powerless, and nobody will try to help you. ]
[ The rope is tied like a noose, but you get the sense that it's meant to be more of a tether. The rope is frayed in places, and it looks like there's some dried blood as well. Maybe from something rubbing against it? ]
