LIGHT FADES IN:

ACT 2

SCENE 1

EXT. THE FOREST — DAY/NIGHT

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWzJPojYPE

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgARkBnQRh

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Cxz9Qudh
(shiver in voice)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbv6uup5zb
We’re lost!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBfm5gP518

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZ2xFA6RY
(regretful)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPou4WNU8z
I should have known we’d be left in the forest again.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Pn2pEorB

GRETEL turned to grab onto HANA.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9vA6Y5FuE

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWaBoKJrV
(half shouting)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapUvzZjes
Hana, what should we do?712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb8KJgKSBu
We’re lost!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkib2CbSE0
The bread we used as tracks are gone!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIeWFRGR1f

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAwmrIvldA
(holding GRETEL, reassuring)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtKD5nOKlF
Gretel, calm down.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y8mrTs2ZS
The breads are probably eaten by the forest animals.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5763065uxH
But it’s ok, we can find a way out.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6429lIUHE
(softly)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbaqZY1vK
Ok?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcOB8fdRZ1

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFExtY4dY5

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X7UGwxE53
(surprised)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAOAGb6XCl
A house made out of candy?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vynqy8fVS

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9REriwxli
(excited, hopping)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSIVvBeFsJ
How is that possible?712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXn92gDJDW
That’s amazing!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjFTZKPrL
Hana, let's get a little closer! Just a little closer!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlZhtBtw9H

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7vqxByrLb

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlVHm9tpt7
(excited, hopping)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWV6sYZNMg
Come on, Hana!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi12RX85rQ
Let’s knock on the door.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q34QRRwmE
Maybe we can get something to eat!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hHx7siCyr

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcwoSYx4sx
(hesitate)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPwmoGkxB
It wouldn’t hurt to try, I guess.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iBYpOxJG1
But Gretel, remember, it’s never safe to approach an unfamiliar place like this.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPLFYcoLz5

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBlQxMB7nT

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqlOk25Gww
(surprised but happy)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNpU0rxGDb
Oh! What are you young children doing in the forest alone?712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTq3Yb0SD2
Are you two lost?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTh0dh6k9K

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBgzQHoxz
(politely)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18IqwNSjru
Hello, ma’am.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfysCkYDP5p
I’m Hana, and this is my sister, Gretel.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv6EEKQDAn
We’re… not lost. But we’re away from home.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3pSLsdQNL
Do you mind if we ask for a little something to eat?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvduisdSJn

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgDUJSbu0T

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsI7UPhgj6
(smiled widely)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFL67V0jWX
I don’t mind giving you two some food.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn10SyYxTZ6
I had lived alone here for many years,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcILvgH8wk9
if you don’t mind,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4zEbvtjOr
would you two want to come in and accompany this old lady?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx5o1rPD3U

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

HANA and GRETEL turned back to GRANDMA.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqcq9D54xz

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbHfHcS6w
(little motion of gratitude)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8l8vAh2IC
If that’s not too much trouble,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwlzDc9e5b
we thank you for your hospitality.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99HyffE9uU

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeK8n3iDhd

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X14jFGC3t

SCENE 2

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — NIGHT

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkY3ovNnqt

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPjy5QkXxy

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIUqt0qHaK
(scream)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUbeH1nfYx
What is this?712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfBFQtqbn5
Hana, what is going on? Help me!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76kNws3oSQ
Hana!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffMxvtL4x

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8U81LWWr3
(panicking)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh248m7Dtj
Gretel, calm down.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqTySq0SLl
Let me untie you.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcyNL530wc

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBirceZDMIt

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuYiW7cQwg
(laughing)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzjrxza37r
Sorry, sorry, my lovely children.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3wUxjsaCv
I didn’t mean to scare you two.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRFXtks5iT
But do be afraid, because I’m a witch and I eat young children.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqYhfD33Ae

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqBHw1G2KB
(pleading)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CI1jrcVUu
Please, ma’am, we don’t taste good.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauzR6bYZ2P
We live on a hillside,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEG9CsxZ2O
poor and eaten nothing nutritious.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLpKjQ3xym
Please let us go.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7OFSOWPdy

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwjto4k78V
(grins)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a1km0rHrG
You know there’s no way I’d do that.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTgSUFlz0H
But I wouldn’t let you die too soon, that’s true.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbVKFW7UF6

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVEjJ5rltB

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2vjPukunW
(Shouting)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0YIQYeIBC
No! Stop!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRaId7JT1e
Let go of me!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW0aALdmRM
Help me, Hana!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNeivxbJtr

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5K4qc4kyK
(Shouting)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW12ty1btv
Gretel!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLRGZEYRCV

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYD7mX3UBr
(cynical laughing)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8P7A81VqY
It’s a pity your sister’s not that smart, huh!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ528P6lbmDj
So naive and lacking alertness.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PfusqYOGA
I can tell from our conversations.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S9iVm7nqY

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmEPfXVTV
(pleading)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyLsDJs365
Please, ma’am, don’t hurt Gretel!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8UMdpWR4
She’s the only family I have left.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡridCLvMVWc

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdm91xrCOL

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTsJhfIiaq
(laughing)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvsUkMcG0J
Not yet, not yet.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGFb6VpeG8
I’ll feed you two till you’re plum and meaty.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvS0iA0PY7
Then I’ll eat you.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3JB6yRo6c
Before that, little Gretel will help me with my house chores.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMW0NcTpDR

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnweyinrs0
(Shouting and crying)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5TG0hobbu
No! Go away!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt339Sa3Qn7
Let go of me! Let go of my sister!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9WrP2n3D

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

(Lighting dimmed.)

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW8UfD6mG

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lLwuBio7w

SCENE 3

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — DAY

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNKNC6v86d

(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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIljofrec

GRANDMA (O.S.)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBMaQPTGb
(exclaiming)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY9lBRgHAi
You damned child!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5wT9kVpoT
I told you to not move anything out of its place!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvrAPOYFxJ

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBPql0c0p8

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCS4FxvRsU
(scared)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKqIZLMPMp
I didn’t move anything you didn’t want me to move, ma’am!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ332M6q651r

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi1Bzxygrg
(angry)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlRtI09RJV
You better didn’t!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnYCKAv2bG
If I walk into another thing in this house, you’ll be the first one to die.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc3kMa5icH

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa1oDxgjlY

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO8wqoWfwO
(calming)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr9BUM7qmW
Gretel, Gretel, don’t cry.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPswt42oQzP
You did well!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkS1uThekJ
Just as I told you.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1OywjKf9y

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjbwhpl6kL

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCIDzSoM1j
(quietly)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z65PCjscd
I am sure now, the witch is nearly blind.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZMzOa7rEC
We can use this to our advantage.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fo3tByr5D
You’ll continue looking for the key to this lock, and I’ll picklock in the meantime.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZHt4S5A09
You did great lying to the witch, keep doing that.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmRCFVT2mQ

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1Rhlxss3
(slightly crying)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LMaDaBR8v
Okay, Hana.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMnvSo04MJ
I can do that.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OYdLZkRbm

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsENpMzZWU

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmScRAvuQs
(encouraging)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp5OkRTanR
That’s right, you can do that.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg74F8b9Rgx
You’re amazing, Gretel. So brave.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtJW0TzmX
Be careful, okay?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAChbsgP2gb

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQucgzUKLs

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35NwyzxBRz
(calmly)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67lVsxT8Md
Hello, how can I help you?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyeU5Raht

FELICIA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzC8p1OaRq
(courteous)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptudLi5fPb
Good day, ma’am.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBqzDbPVlA
I’ve been hired to look for this missing child.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITnPQ3uaVt

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY5Yy5C97R

FELICIA (CONT’D)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia5AdkyZlH
Have you, by any chance, seen him before?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjrRFt0Sgh

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsGK473FOL
(acting shocked)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OHcyvTYFo
Oh no, I’ve never!712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6QrTEtWUi
What a terrible news to hear.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKeWOSuyLM
Hope you find him soon.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrnsvhfcOP

FELICIA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkDbhIVk3I
Thank you, ma’am.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnGJFQL1x1
I’ve gathered information from various intel,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhPTkCpq1g
that he has a grandma who’s also living in this forest.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLCE7FWpmE
Do you happen to know where I could find her?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkkSkyNbWN

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQaPq3g3e
(acting regretful)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkeDSwB4Bj
No, I don’t go out often.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Q9305zPq

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7GwbaxbS9

FELICIA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNxmf44Ev4
(sounding a little tired)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2plf15MnJc
Ma’am, I’m quite exhausted from running around the town.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHrhVznk7
Do you mind if I ask for a glass of water,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcldGF9SlC
and perhaps rest a while at your house?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ReUy3hGh

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHACfeXSPI
(calmly)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxbmxIxJ3m
My apologies, I might have to say no.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczGpy6wsa6
It’s very untidy, not suitable for guests.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR8s4bEsKp

FELICIA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1kMj5q3ws
(seeming a little pitiful)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhuTXEbabU
How about a cup of water?712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMXMoqOb3
Would that be okay?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkmjsfkKOh

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJagjkH3Gc

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieFIfHTjlm
Alright.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt5MWBY9IQ
Please wait a moment.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvXLaTL7e

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Eo7qOnJz

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqm8z5YNXN
(whispering)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFiIkr0Pr
Please help us.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K8gkQREvk
My sister and I are abducted by this old lady.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeScmyt1f2U
She’s a witch that eats children!

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4cKgUiQyL

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63lCZ2hnoo

GRETEL712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprWYMuFxoD
(whispering, confused)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w5YfolJo4
What do you mean?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytXhtkbMy6

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUUcw2jxn8

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsqaHZn4A
(tense but composed, whispering)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEVHvrDTy
Hello, ma’am.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXQlrlC0vs
This is Gretel, and I’m Hana.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4swJBmFMj4
Please help us get away from here.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvOqVbt8J

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

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ834PiLuM5Q

HANA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bqoMkU8tO
(composed, whispering)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPooZRxdHmU
I’ve never seen him.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0b10k7cy1
But there’s a red cloth hanging on that wall,712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCFmb3buSL
looking identical to what the boy is wearing in the picture.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xjMxHGqSz

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.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ2X0tMB10

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKuTbvLyBy
(smiling, gradually getting angry)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWn1PDwYHs
Do you want to add me to the conversation?

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxnrfx6rnt

FELICIA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL33iiELMf
Ma’am, I already have enough evidence712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunPDkXDyyl
proving you’re the one who killed our missing person.712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaH1a6UOhX
Finding these two girls are just adding to your crime.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRx01eGloh

GRANDMA712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiid3ukD8XW
(coming in strong, threatening)712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG4Xs27XS8
Well, I guess I’ll just have to kill you too.

712Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u8vH9tcIT

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.
