LIGHT FADES IN:

ACT 2

SCENE 1

EXT. THE FOREST — DAY/NIGHT

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlILUOFvqtc

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiVWNGwDLi

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJEwE2wO4
(shiver in voice)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPifK6Bnwd
We’re lost!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML4srVXpGn

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG98x837LT
(regretful)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3S0tVxNnm
I should have known we’d be left in the forest again.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67C8Z2wq45

GRETEL turned to grab onto HANA.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz9oBViXHr

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumrNYPw1e6
(half shouting)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5y6c7P0D
Hana, what should we do?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2KYeGxDFC
We’re lost!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8wgDGQcI3
The bread we used as tracks are gone!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPyPhp09Hz

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pfhaRDHOy
(holding GRETEL, reassuring)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XhDAl3tvR
Gretel, calm down.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7uR3gK9PH
The breads are probably eaten by the forest animals.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l2bdswQxU
But it’s ok, we can find a way out.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGClwd2OXw0
(softly)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Xt2PtdXU
Ok?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02TIWzOhyd

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UfZgZuDtD

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZpk3lCj3F
(surprised)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbe2oDECXx
A house made out of candy?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtojLuasIG

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglURAwWYNO
(excited, hopping)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc5s3om7n4
How is that possible?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWogkXD9AvL
That’s amazing!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTNWTWZNqG
Hana, let's get a little closer! Just a little closer!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dzqCexa4g

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0BdXOPEc2

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PFluHbDOe
(excited, hopping)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrycdIartB1
Come on, Hana!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLbIqq6QI5
Let’s knock on the door.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ceJ6IrAbC
Maybe we can get something to eat!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32DDdqepgd

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQigJjpaoz
(hesitate)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7noKVIaPP
It wouldn’t hurt to try, I guess.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAatY0cd3OV
But Gretel, remember, it’s never safe to approach an unfamiliar place like this.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6RMDMZd7I

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7CFzi3URp

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT0u2bDj4d
(surprised but happy)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32N93ljWVI
Oh! What are you young children doing in the forest alone?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEruSrMxTE
Are you two lost?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtkw6Tk7sP

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0w4PuDQNa
(politely)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPGgIic0Mt
Hello, ma’am.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RRzdS09kd
I’m Hana, and this is my sister, Gretel.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi24eEN3et
We’re… not lost. But we’re away from home.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ854RLfhmsh
Do you mind if we ask for a little something to eat?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfObT674oIQ

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBFcpFORkU

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDSAB7lTn2
(smiled widely)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwgez07Dx
I don’t mind giving you two some food.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV0WNEWNJh
I had lived alone here for many years,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnN9nd2aKp
if you don’t mind,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlerdlUS15J
would you two want to come in and accompany this old lady?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcKar9ldRM

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

HANA and GRETEL turned back to GRANDMA.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgg3ROWj2

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdCKWhtRM
(little motion of gratitude)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKG3pXyun
If that’s not too much trouble,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsarGQXvTFL
we thank you for your hospitality.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmLk6SrsL

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeNpEWe1SJ

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVBIUaRRWN

SCENE 2

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — NIGHT

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDcgSgH0vr

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5XDlcbYEj

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix7tSzAP7a
(scream)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcJKwnnX2P
What is this?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJTyAKVjvk
Hana, what is going on? Help me!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmN7CoLjbw
Hana!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpXkK2Gyd0

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rzhnOHZJ
(panicking)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt9ElQflBz
Gretel, calm down.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4imMfWRUzJ
Let me untie you.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiotvU3nvgT

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa66IeeqZZB

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkoxgr9tGl
(laughing)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqo7z23kQz
Sorry, sorry, my lovely children.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqbiQ3bhlr
I didn’t mean to scare you two.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GiYLW9eLY
But do be afraid, because I’m a witch and I eat young children.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpg6H86sw1

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcqEBWCTI
(pleading)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhByu0sK9dZ
Please, ma’am, we don’t taste good.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnWq0sMke
We live on a hillside,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxWTAKi5T0
poor and eaten nothing nutritious.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEwSXSWR5B
Please let us go.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmLQ1KWlpz

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfwmVRcRqy
(grins)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt4jeZiIdg
You know there’s no way I’d do that.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Je9HoBwZ
But I wouldn’t let you die too soon, that’s true.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4cPPFo4Ve

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWv1Dz8jZs

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3sOIa1Vst
(Shouting)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P02rLCjPM
No! Stop!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAMstpGe27
Let go of me!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwDD2JF0gL
Help me, Hana!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGKU8s40Eu

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBWNyYCbx
(Shouting)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKaOkZTgZ9
Gretel!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6mdaZnT0o

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WlszsfCqu
(cynical laughing)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrg1tWTSU5
It’s a pity your sister’s not that smart, huh!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqLxbdj4We
So naive and lacking alertness.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVBk7RyIz2
I can tell from our conversations.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZbfuypGD

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFSK8HeNW
(pleading)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV0VTx9smw
Please, ma’am, don’t hurt Gretel!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowmxErli5G
She’s the only family I have left.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7KeL4LQEJ

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvcJDLiTx

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fxFBvoSEi
(laughing)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj0bmLfCY1
Not yet, not yet.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBztVnUjHi
I’ll feed you two till you’re plum and meaty.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnyO2DTk9Y
Then I’ll eat you.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAeQYpAKry
Before that, little Gretel will help me with my house chores.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFTw2WmRaP

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK12GGyaeMg
(Shouting and crying)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjN6GpkyYV
No! Go away!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1I3qW85fu
Let go of me! Let go of my sister!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeIhUFhVcj

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

(Lighting dimmed.)

SCENE 3

INT. INSIDE THE CANDY HOUSE — DAY

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX46nDip2S

(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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9SKieoU7L

GRANDMA (O.S.)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0NpCYY1fL
(exclaiming)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD99Tj6XLj
You damned child!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Afjmr4VM
I told you to not move anything out of its place!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCWiBa3IQL

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF2Xkjjw6x

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxge8bAVtu
(scared)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZRw6Pxngw
I didn’t move anything you didn’t want me to move, ma’am!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl5Vo548UI

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2XRlIkb3W
(angry)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgWSITgZ3t
You better didn’t!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U6SgKqsfj
If I walk into another thing in this house, you’ll be the first one to die.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8cXV9Q0Ym

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOylkLIpvZL

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1dnleVebU
(calming)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqhevx4UkE
Gretel, Gretel, don’t cry.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4bPmGzML1
You did well!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBJpKuNAK
Just as I told you.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtmiwOF9bk

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBsvP9bG93

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhn1CnHYmu
(quietly)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2lORqm7WL
I am sure now, the witch is nearly blind.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlNzfccG2X
We can use this to our advantage.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62qJk0u9iZ
You’ll continue looking for the key to this lock, and I’ll picklock in the meantime.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxVLOqhhHz
You did great lying to the witch, keep doing that.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc1dcIe2Ft

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNx49T8plN
(slightly crying)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVaJYQKKx6
Okay, Hana.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWDqWjE8dy
I can do that.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsi9dtPWVY

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtue26V5dvp

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowLsul2Ffp
(encouraging)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uQi0UJ5T9
That’s right, you can do that.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs3gQ3FKzf
You’re amazing, Gretel. So brave.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq1UPMonOy
Be careful, okay?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z3dF5wyJi

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7u1oBgAYo

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO75gR5tM1
(calmly)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3YE6LfVY
Hello, how can I help you?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd005GwrkIH

FELICIA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE74lDgdHm
(courteous)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVp92f2vW
Good day, ma’am.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekdg09GEAS
I’ve been hired to look for this missing child.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya1sOlCHKG

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARssNx5OW

FELICIA (CONT’D)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOQxIY2lgE
Have you, by any chance, seen him before?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z8EeJRSaZ

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f1r6GaARQ
(acting shocked)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk34mvg8NkI
Oh no, I’ve never!702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d8BXoX1IG
What a terrible news to hear.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNd6VejG1
Hope you find him soon.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqGMMkf9RI

FELICIA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYbSqB91k7
Thank you, ma’am.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1xfnn2ks
I’ve gathered information from various intel,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAfP9AGQ7f
that he has a grandma who’s also living in this forest.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVw2HIfkyC
Do you happen to know where I could find her?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EyA9wAk6p

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOHkWpyJjZ
(acting regretful)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ980Q9rN4qu
No, I don’t go out often.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuux3hTm9IY

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCyDBuZBU6

FELICIA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQKh2OnM3
(sounding a little tired)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRadmr9w1gt
Ma’am, I’m quite exhausted from running around the town.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6KEuqs83U
Do you mind if I ask for a glass of water,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfTFn0l1hq
and perhaps rest a while at your house?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXuviQ9iCP

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfwKX0zdgd
(calmly)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCl8LqHw61
My apologies, I might have to say no.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvjm0hFUI9
It’s very untidy, not suitable for guests.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHoMs6O6ut

FELICIA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV25gYoR8M
(seeming a little pitiful)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgd57VZtH7
How about a cup of water?702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn034FKftyG
Would that be okay?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPKcYxGzEP

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaNV6TIMNa

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKiL9aQVxw
Alright.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaUZ8seQJF
Please wait a moment.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOULdx06WgY

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowJWsI0AJo

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhfr9QjVrX
(whispering)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sn6XAQrPE
Please help us.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BBGkIUkQs
My sister and I are abducted by this old lady.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YNQgrvPSm
She’s a witch that eats children!

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5LYnnftG

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSiBUYHUa8

GRETEL702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ZsJ9f5gz
(whispering, confused)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUVXTNAvf7
What do you mean?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItvF7aemNm

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6DDqXYuDs

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFPcfQTM9Z
(tense but composed, whispering)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKfnbyfzum
Hello, ma’am.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcQlMpYtbF
This is Gretel, and I’m Hana.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MAEE5GlGx
Please help us get away from here.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUy2inoQul

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

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37iazvkvkQ

HANA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfJUJG3oCN
(composed, whispering)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4BHOmkoB5
I’ve never seen him.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcbrRpVQxi
But there’s a red cloth hanging on that wall,702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyoev7ey0G
looking identical to what the boy is wearing in the picture.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyTgOPv8fP

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.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb2zLPQHeD

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJjk8WYJ6d
(smiling, gradually getting angry)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTk3RxNgn3
Do you want to add me to the conversation?

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQadrsTZHKM

FELICIA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDboGmbS5j
Ma’am, I already have enough evidence702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY5cIxVeu0
proving you’re the one who killed our missing person.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvy2KpOPLR
Finding these two girls are just adding to your crime.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALqvKW5S7u

GRANDMA702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu3jYWXIci
(coming in strong, threatening)702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApDncf1Jkg
Well, I guess I’ll just have to kill you too.

702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz3e0LrBAb

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.
