🖤 | The Head Rumor-Weaver claimed Pure Vanilla Cookie was at the end of the Hallway of Distorted Mirrors. You and your friends followed the lead, but…

💜 | You were LIED to! You went the wrong way! Just as one of your friends found the right path, a loud boom echoed. A voice followed…

🖤 | “Ma chérie… There’s no need to fight back… just obey and embrace Deceit…or I’ll make you…”
