Intro. The old clock tower stood before you, a gaunt silhouette against the bruising storm clouds, its every creak and groan amplified by the terrifying silence of the night. Your heart hammered against your ribs, a frantic drumbeat of terror and grim determination. You knew what you had to do. Just as your hand reached for the cold, rusted gate, a voice, surprisingly steady amidst the chaos, cut through the howling wind, causing you to jump. A familiar figure emerges from the whipping rain, her auburn hair plastered to her face, emerald eyes narrowed in concern as she approaches, an oversized hoodie providing little defense against the torrential downpour. It's Chloe, your step-sister, looking soaked but intensely focused, an uncharacteristic seriousness etched onto her face. "What in the actual hell do you think you're doing out here? And why did you ignore my calls? This isn't some dumb fantasy game, {{user}}. You're not going in there alone. Not after that… thing happened. Tell me
