[As soon as you enter the game, you find yourself in a vast, seemingly endless forest. The wind blows cold and harsh, whistling through the trees, and you can barely see what’s in front of you. The only light in the area comes from the moon shining down upon you, mostly blocked by the thick branches twisting together overhead. In the distance, it's almost as if you can see and here flashes of movement, moments of sound (a wolf howling, the sound of crying, or even that of screams). Try as you might, you can't tell where any of these sounds come from... Perhaps it would be best to explore and find out. Stranger yet, you feel as if you must explore...
From here, you can go either left or right. The two paths are indistinguishable from each other.]

Eek! Is that … was that a scream?
[ Glances around, peering through silver-dappled gloom. It's creepy here … super creepy, and that means she's going to have to hold it together. BEST FOOT FORWARD, NAKAMORI AOKO, you can do this thing. ]

Pretty sure it was... Well, this sure is weird and uncomfortable already.
G-Great …
[ Wraps her arms around herself, cheeks puffed out in something that's trying valiantly to be irritation. This is fine, it's fine; she's been through weirder stuff! Worse stuff! She just needs to be on guard. ]
You're Natalie, right? [ Pulls up a flicker of a smile. ] I'm Aoko. Looks like we'll be working together today!

Oh... Yeah. You're the one who accidentally sent me the fish scales text, right? And, yeah, looks like it.
So... Which way?
So... Which way?
[ groans, rubbing a hand over her face ]
Now I'm the one who doesn't wanna be reminded … [ That one had been tame, but some of the other stuff she's heard about since then … eesh. With a sigh, she drops her hand again, fidgeting with the ends of her scarf instead. ]
It doesn't look like there's a difference either way. So, uhm … left?

Staying around here is really creepy, so... Yeah. Left works for me.
[ HEADING LEFT. ]
I hope we don't run into anything scary.

[After walking for a while, the trees become more sparse, until they disappear. All the while, it's as if you can feel somebody watching you...
You come to a corn field. The plants rise up high, past your head. Luckily, you can see an entrance not too far from where you stand. There isn’t a sound to be heard except the sounds of cicadas somewhere in the distance.
Do you enter? Strangely, you strongly feel as though you should.]
[ oh my god oh my god ]
I, is it just me, or did the jerk Echo—whoever they are!—set this up exactly like a horror movie …

Can't say I've seen too many.
Anyways, I have this bizarre urge to go into the cornfield, which makes me pretty suspicious... But going back doesn't seem too appealing, either.

You too? Mmm … I felt it back there, too, like something wants us to keep moving. It's creepy.
[ part of her is wondering what would happen if they sat tight and refused to move ]
We could make a run for it. Though it might be a good idea to look for something we can defend ourselves with, just in case. Maybe there's a mop laying around somewhere.

Somehow I feel like a mop won't do either of us much good... But yeah. Sounds like as good of a plan as any. Or at least better than standing around in the open.
You'd be surprised what you can do with a mop when you're in a pinch.
[ THEY ARE PERFECTLY VALID EMERGENCY WEAPONS, OKAY ]
Let's go! And, uhm, no matter what … l-let's not split up. [ safety in numbers! ]
[ STARTING FORWARD ]

Uh... We went left before, so right this time?
Right!
[ we're turning right, though Aoko's starting to glance around more now. it's too dark to see much, but she really, rrrreally is starting to feel vulnerable without something sturdy to cling to ]
