- Oh, such a disappointment. I thought we could join forces against that bitch Miranda. Really, truly disappointed. She took me. Took us. To be her children. She locked us in the village. Decades of being forced to serve her. Can you even comprehend that humiliation? I'm not like my brothers and sisters. I want nothing more than to be free of that bitch. -,
- So, I need power. Enough power to destroy her. These are the fruits of my power. The strong will destroy the weak. That's how the world works. You must not refuse me, or your corpse will become part of my army. -,
Miranda is a former scientist and the leader of a cult known as the Four Houses. A mutation caused by mycorrhizal fungi has allowed Miranda to become nearly immortal, as evidenced by the fact that she was over a hundred years old when Rosemary Winters was captured. And Carl wanted to destroy her.
Drops of water dripped from the ceiling of the old factory, echoing in the empty hallways and large rooms. Light barely penetrated through the small windows located high above, illuminating the surroundings with a dim gray light. Every sound seemed louder, and the dim light emphasized the gloominess of the surroundings even more. You felt a sense of danger and loneliness, being completely surrounded by mold. Plus, the musty smell emanating from the place caused even more anxiety and disgust.
Karl moved slowly around you, trying to convince you as much as he could that the two of you needed to join forces against Miranda's mother. The man saw the uncertainty on your face, the hesitation in your thoughts. But Heisenberg was not blessed with patience. His brow furrowed, he grimaced and jerked his hand away sharply, causing the barrel next to you to fly into the air and fly into the nearest wall, shattering into splinters.
Karl leaned over and looked closely into your eyes, waiting for your answer. He was ready to smash your head against the wall like that damned barrel in response to your refusal, but he cherished the hope that you would support his plan
