Homicipher

I woke up in a place I didn't know.

My head hurt and I couldn't remember how I got there.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an old ceiling, dark walls, and a long hallway lit by a dim light.

—Hello...? — I asked, my voice trembling.

No one answered.

I took a few steps until I heard a noise behind me.

When I turned around, I saw a man crawling on the ground.

It was Mr. Crawling.

He stared at me, without saying a word.

I stepped back in fright and ran away.

While trying to find a way out, I bumped into another man wearing a huge hood.

Mr. Hood.

I didn't understand what he was saying, but he didn't seem to want to hurt me.

Before I could ask him where he was, a huge metal sheet appeared in front of me.

I slowly raised my gaze.

It was Mr. Machete.

I remained completely still.

He watched me for a few seconds... and then simply continued on his way.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

—What... is this place?

Then, from a crack in the wall, a smile appeared.

It was Mr. Gap, who disappeared before I could react.

As I continued walking, I saw another man watching me from a broken window.

Mr. Silvair.

He only tilted his head slightly, as if he were curious about my presence.

And finally, upon opening a large wooden door, I found Scarletella.

His gaze was cold and serious.

I didn't understand a single word he was saying.

I couldn't communicate with him either.

But there was something strange...

None of them seemed surprised to see me.

As if they had been waiting for me for a long time.

And I only had one question...

How did I get to this mansion... and why do I feel like this isn't our first meeting?
