LIGHT FADES IN:

ACT 2

SCENE 1

EXT. THE FOREST — DAY/NIGHT

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmzaZCUv9j

The forest flourished with lush vegetation and tall trees. Sunlight doesn’t come in through the leaves above, but the environment lighting is bright in general.

Two young girls (HANA and GRETEL) of very similar height, wearing the same style of country-side clothing, looking around anxiously.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJG4kXW4V

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBWLUS4YMt
(shiver in voice)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprSK1aXBmJ
We’re lost!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGCOOHqVd

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lqaPNM6XL
(regretful)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf9yOAivRB
I should have known we’d be left in the forest again.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6Hj9J1t1j

GRETEL turned to grab onto HANA.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU5ECJ7nLu

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPc0V6CWd
(half shouting)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCRAJtke9C
Hana, what should we do?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BtiQ15xAy
We’re lost!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r5ipd9XD
The bread we used as tracks are gone!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U01lsLZwZ

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgtW9XjvU6
(holding GRETEL, reassuring)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvpbGdUoj8
Gretel, calm down.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfJAr89Tmc
The breads are probably eaten by the forest animals.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIWuoQyyRz
But it’s ok, we can find a way out.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrRPBA0Y4v
(softly)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsoLlvewGF
Ok?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLVj0cMtB

HANA and GRETEL wandered around, far back and far front of the stage, left and right of the stage, circling aimlessly.

(Background switches to afternoon forest, then nighttime forest as they walk.)

HANA and GRETEL stopped as they reached the far right front of the stage.

(Background switches to the exterior of the candy house.)

HANA and GRETEL turned to see a candy house.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW9iAXfhiu

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3GCVB4tiU
(surprised)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPPjoNo4H
A house made out of candy?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QyyexXHf3

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThsHoRUfbm
(excited, hopping)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgTN1gcbO6
How is that possible?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnnffF5Q5B
That’s amazing!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwmTEOi4Lv
Hana, let's get a little closer! Just a little closer!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88xcAEwf5E

GRETEL pulled on HANA to get her moving toward the candy house. HANA and GRETEL moved a little closer to the candy house, but HANA hesitated and stopped GRETEL.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX9dJPswVm

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7dWGwzK23
(excited, hopping)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlPNnVcH2I
Come on, Hana!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbb8n3Wtm
Let’s knock on the door.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7B1x5TRqn
Maybe we can get something to eat!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc8WjaycMM

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wTUXcO4iJ
(hesitate)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsydSDp6VwL
It wouldn’t hurt to try, I guess.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3yyfPr9m9
But Gretel, remember, it’s never safe to approach an unfamiliar place like this.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0muxOL11w

GRETEL nodded obediently, HANA and GRETEL walked toward the candy house.

(As HANA and GRETEL walk toward the house, background switches to a split screen, the left side as the interior of the candy house and the right side as the forest.)

HANA and GRETEL turned to face the left side of the stage, standing at the split, and HANA made a knocking motion.

(Knocking sound sounded with HANA’S motion)

The door slowly opened and HANA, GRETEL, and GRANDMA meet.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL6VfBqsyn

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaj0OVk5ui
(surprised but happy)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltBrcWrAO
Oh! What are you young children doing in the forest alone?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5bzaDwKe3
Are you two lost?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ZvbnT4aq

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZwdSORubS
(politely)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ6y5ZsGRu
Hello, ma’am.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnppuSyXOgm
I’m Hana, and this is my sister, Gretel.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C2ORqrbf6
We’re… not lost. But we’re away from home.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpIQ4VPhio
Do you mind if we ask for a little something to eat?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqYt04zLa

GRANDMA looked at HANA and then GRETEL, scanning the two young children outside the door. GRETEL clung onto HANA.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6geQzwNSG2

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntq9ftxU51
(smiled widely)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlfIS23jTV
I don’t mind giving you two some food.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0AedJ9YS5
I had lived alone here for many years,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6kQXAwiU5
if you don’t mind,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sxjeQfHT
would you two want to come in and accompany this old lady?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOymVihi9w

HANA and GRETEL looked at each other. HANA showed a little unsureness, and GRETEL looked thrilled.

HANA and GRETEL turned back to GRANDMA.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbI8RTzae

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqCXQgUrpF
(little motion of gratitude)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRJG1b2o8J
If that’s not too much trouble,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSYPqCB9BK
we thank you for your hospitality.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKIpJsUoXF

GRANDMA gave HANA and GRETEL a bright smile, moved away from the door to gesture a way into the candy house.

HANA and GRETEL followed GRANDMA’s guide and went to sit down by the table. GRANDMA took out plates, piles of food, and desserts, and set them on the table. HANA and GRETEL are filled with joy and began eating.

HANA and GRETEL rubbed their eyes and looked very tired with every bite they took, slowly falling asleep on the dining table.

GRANDMA looked at them and clapped her hands, HANA and GRETEL stood up, hypnotized. GRANDMA removed the cloth covering a cage, and HANA and GRETEL walked into a cage.

GRANDMA took out ropes to tie up HANA'S and GRETEL'S hands.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv6fFjbHGl

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX63eTNOoJa

SCENE 2

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — NIGHT

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnGeFLrIJ

Same interior. HANA and GRETEL woke up inside the cage, tied separately with a rope on the wrist.

GRANDMA clapped her hands, HANA and GRETEL immediately woke up.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzrkd4p20

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCtB4DlZqe
(scream)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OhHEQfkCP
What is this?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSpTIVwz2
Hana, what is going on? Help me!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9DiTwdcEU
Hana!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbP2IpHVtv

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuJtr7DU3t
(panicking)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznsba0JbaY
Gretel, calm down.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJkG4qDOz4
Let me untie you.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqwMJLz4bQ

HANA and GRETEL untie each other’s rope. On the other side of the room, GRANDMA silently approached them. HANA and GRETEL jumped back, slamming into the cage bars, holding onto each other.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh00s7xzh8

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIV3sMeCL
(laughing)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsoWuNbdC5
Sorry, sorry, my lovely children.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5KejRekk0
I didn’t mean to scare you two.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcxshF6WYI
But do be afraid, because I’m a witch and I eat young children.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibXaE37eR

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKvQMFeDsZ
(pleading)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEeyV7cUB4
Please, ma’am, we don’t taste good.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOESQOcJV9C
We live on a hillside,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtotzKu5eHD
poor and eaten nothing nutritious.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR23F2iDLp
Please let us go.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfOAtf75g

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ilyqEHyDH
(grins)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PIqFhsApa
You know there’s no way I’d do that.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCebRfocZWC
But I wouldn’t let you die too soon, that’s true.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzMB1Zr4aM

GRANDMA suddenly opened the cage and grabbed GRETEL by the arm, and pulled her out.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gzhidQ7C

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQ8I5vVw4
(Shouting)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8FrQ35H7d
No! Stop!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U2fvvq5ed
Let go of me!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvZDanZkGR
Help me, Hana!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP2KanbuW2

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNJjJyouZD
(Shouting)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Bqyxghdl
Gretel!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBr8XIdBpy

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJHlXTyMKL
(cynical laughing)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKB5NMcasu
It’s a pity your sister’s not that smart, huh!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4N0nW0Wsl
So naive and lacking alertness.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDujUmtJnX
I can tell from our conversations.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdymYdCGLP

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSB6zCgcx
(pleading)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRqwQnNKaK
Please, ma’am, don’t hurt Gretel!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7iXIy0QL
She’s the only family I have left.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3SPjXmWh

GRANDMA pulled onto GRETEL, looking at her closely in the eye.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw0W229wsW

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHEXUOr0zz
(laughing)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ339jb4oLMn
Not yet, not yet.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80NonZSFlg
I’ll feed you two till you’re plum and meaty.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYUu10VVXE
Then I’ll eat you.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aleoUCz4
Before that, little Gretel will help me with my house chores.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrcif6s2sA

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ194a0toFzh
(Shouting and crying)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaS2Tvji6x
No! Go away!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHMlRgKSvL
Let go of me! Let go of my sister!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQZ1gbsYjX

HANA and GRETEL cried out to each other as GRETEL is being dragged off stage by GRANDMA.

(Lighting dimmed.)

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QFfRkvGCc

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVmHaZ966

SCENE 3

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — DAY

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqs0vqKT1E

(Lighting returns to normal.)

The interior of the candy house is the same.

GRETEL holding a broom and obediently sweeping the floor, HANA fiddling with the lock of the cage.

(A sudden loud noise of something falling over came in from off-stage.)

HANA and GRETEL shot their head to look toward the direction.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9lt72YyZy

GRANDMA (O.S.)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoB3QMMcg5
(exclaiming)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctgVSIgXRS
You damned child!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIFLxbIDGy
I told you to not move anything out of its place!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h1pEFKtKC

GRANDMA angrily stomped onto the stage from the right. Grabbing GRETEL by the arm.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdix19gZhk

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0cQldL2W8
(scared)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6DZNr1MS
I didn’t move anything you didn’t want me to move, ma’am!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz945s3akiZ

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Cg6K5JWt
(angry)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNb2c7Tzo
You better didn’t!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRfJWQYyqb
If I walk into another thing in this house, you’ll be the first one to die.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBBA3X4Poq

GRANDMA flung GRETEL’S arm away and stomp off to the side she came on from. GRETEL made a sound like she was about to cry.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozJijaRsKn

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0rE41ranl
(calming)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOnAIYgL40
Gretel, Gretel, don’t cry.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK5EhjMBFD
You did well!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkn5H61dGw
Just as I told you.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkyCPM4oJv

GRETEL walked toward HANA and knelt down by the cage. HANA patted GRETEL on the head intimately.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHPNIF7aQL

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIP5xATaXu
(quietly)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xzzNVrBmS
I am sure now, the witch is nearly blind.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEhSJZCJPY
We can use this to our advantage.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95eNPxhnG
You’ll continue looking for the key to this lock, and I’ll picklock in the meantime.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVaZkgJE2z
You did great lying to the witch, keep doing that.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyeri1NgJG

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7iTI87vvr
(slightly crying)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BN2Jblz3Z
Okay, Hana.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ZpDkyxwe
I can do that.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjPmnmpoQl

HANA patted GRETEL'S head through the bars some more, calming GRETEL.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0vsj9YiPm

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFPm2x1QSe
(encouraging)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaZ3ehrpI2
That’s right, you can do that.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx00BCDw1A3
You’re amazing, Gretel. So brave.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjvN8epX7d
Be careful, okay?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKvkz2XaLM

GRETEL nodded, stood up, and continue sweeping, looking around and picking things up to check under it from time to time. HANA took out wires she got from GRETEL to pick the lock.

Once in a while, GRANDMA would peak in or walk in, and HANA and GRETEL immediately drop their action.

GRANDMA went to sit down by the table.

(Almost immediately, a knocking sound came in from off-stage.)

GRANDMA, HANA, and GRETEL looked toward the direction.

A female figure (FELICIA) appeared on the far right of the stage, indicating the outside of the candy house, wearing easily movable styled clothing, serious in expression. Holding a paper in one hand and the other hand knocking on the door again.

(Knocking sound sounded with FELICIA'S motion.)

GRANDMA stood up from the chair and went to answer the door.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4TiJUwOtS

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxC4eFfJJX
(calmly)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2sVhYV3sv
Hello, how can I help you?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCR5kBGnzS

FELICIA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvEuk8fTsc
(courteous)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQHC7KyO2
Good day, ma’am.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxO6AL9OV
I’ve been hired to look for this missing child.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlUGQj9uFW

FELICIA held up a flier saying “missing person” and MANSON’S picture on it.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIMJEpJKdf

FELICIA (CONT’D)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8GxKX6qVn
Have you, by any chance, seen him before?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFUY655VE

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrexGGRaGF
(acting shocked)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aq0MjCidP
Oh no, I’ve never!516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NxQHbkn3a
What a terrible news to hear.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpweK1dEtFe
Hope you find him soon.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDEHRgzSTS

FELICIA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk27iR0IbI
Thank you, ma’am.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4jKnQ3CeO
I’ve gathered information from various intel,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyX8t62Bij
that he has a grandma who’s also living in this forest.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDD6WoIZny
Do you happen to know where I could find her?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQw44ZlKEH

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy11QroKqH
(acting regretful)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwnVbBt2JN
No, I don’t go out often.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UfNh3xltu

Meanwhile, in the candy house, HANA quickly called GRETEL over and told her to call for help quietly. GRETEL went to a spot close enough for FELICIA to see.

GRETEL tried waving her arms in the air, exaggerated lip motion, jumping up and down, holding objects up and swinging them.

FELICIA saw GRETEL’S motion and became suspicious.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9GOxjadX3

FELICIA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgx2ILs0iq
(sounding a little tired)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfUniAolr
Ma’am, I’m quite exhausted from running around the town.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0mwUkXWz5
Do you mind if I ask for a glass of water,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT740PhShM
and perhaps rest a while at your house?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4YwgCCiR

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsghda8ehps
(calmly)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNgnYnGv4p
My apologies, I might have to say no.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51n2OZUIiz
It’s very untidy, not suitable for guests.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ej0hWarQ

FELICIA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoLDmIOUxj
(seeming a little pitiful)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxnp49uRxA
How about a cup of water?516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRsq9NOiZU
Would that be okay?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJwGnZbb7o

GRANDMA made a thinking motion, uncertain of FELICIA’S action. FELICIA'S body postures are calm and unthreatening.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzul2aRZDg

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYfFfYrAKi
Alright.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OkQvpy4iS
Please wait a moment.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TkIiRhTCN

GRANDMA closed the door and went off stage. While doing so, FELICIA quietly opened the door, and GRETEL speed walked up to FELICIA.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVzz2Vf6SD

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKcOAU3BaZ
(whispering)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYprRbhUfeX
Please help us.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48i542J1K
My sister and I are abducted by this old lady.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEipwVerp53
She’s a witch that eats children!

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWhPxMZodx

FELICIA held up the missing person flier and put it in front of GRETEL. GRETEL made a confused expression, then shook her head.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoL9BGkqE6

GRETEL516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxlPsFSzsR
(whispering, confused)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCkysLng7Z
What do you mean?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgYTdhErmP

FELICIA raised a hand to signal GRETEL to lead the way to HANA. GRETEL took FELICIA to HANA.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKQ9YkFJ9

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMsw5VlHz
(tense but composed, whispering)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQAAthAbh
Hello, ma’am.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyIOUCRJmj
This is Gretel, and I’m Hana.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrnhykbSoE
Please help us get away from here.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QWd0Ujao7

FELICIA held up the missing person flier and put it in front of HANA. HANA stared at it for a bit.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqXuVNSRlg

HANA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3qAOolSn
(composed, whispering)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPkg66OmPz
I’ve never seen him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAasgkIyZTu
But there’s a red cloth hanging on that wall,516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L8l2cxT1i
looking identical to what the boy is wearing in the picture.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTYTsoO9c4

HANA gestures to the wall with MANSON’S red cloth hanging on it, and FELICIA double-checked it with the flier. FELICIA turned to HANA and GRETEL, placed her index finger on her lips, indicating them to keep quiet.

Out of FELICIA'S, HANA'S, and GRETEL'S sight, GRANDMA walked onto the stage with a kitchen knife in her hand.

Before FELICIA could make too many steps away from HANA and GRETEL, GRANDMA swung the kitchen knife toward FELICIA. FELICIA dodged.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NfD6K2A8V

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZpeBh7RHz
(smiling, gradually getting angry)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xe5YMA3Ay
Do you want to add me to the conversation?

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8bfdY5wh

FELICIA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH7reRkcak
Ma’am, I already have enough evidence516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQujAc6a4x7
proving you’re the one who killed our missing person.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZZxnZVGqe
Finding these two girls are just adding to your crime.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JDZa9b5yZ

GRANDMA516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oj4TQBiJI
(coming in strong, threatening)516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2zdl07Ps8
Well, I guess I’ll just have to kill you too.

516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlLwfkqD9a

GRANDMA swung the kitchen knife at FELICIA again, and FELICA blocked it with her long knife. FELICIA pushed the long knife upward and throw GRANDMA’S balance off.

GRANDMA quickly resumed her posture as FELICIA dashed toward her to strike a blow.

FELICIA and GRANDMA went back and forth a few times before FELICIA knocked the kitchen knife out of GRANDMA’S hands. FELICIA pulled out a rope and quickly tied GRANDMA’S arm behind her back by her wrist. Then tied GRANDMA to a chair.

FELICIA walked up to HANA and GRETEL, destroying the cage and cutting free the rope from HANA’S wrist.

HANA and GRETEL walked off first and left the stage.

FELICIA held GRANDMA by the shoulder and seized her toward the direction same as HANA and GRETEL, all their back facing the audience.
