This Dark Passage is aptly named. It's hard to see anything in here!
Anything except for a Small Red Light in the near distance.
But you do feel a thick, slow breeze around you.
And smell a lot of earthy, dusty smells as it moves past.

we lack food!

For a moment, you worry about how you don't have any food.
You take further stock of your current CONDITIONS.

At least we can sling that duffel bag for another storage!

Flick on that flashlight quick for any sign of scary things!
Then flick it on when you're pretty sure there aren't any!
Hold both Mori and the plushie for safety

You rifle through your equipped Duffle Bag in the Total Darkness.
You pull out what feels like the Duffel Bag, Flashlight, Cat Plushie, and Mori the Ukulele.

Unfortunately, you only have 2 Equipment Slots remaining!
And that's not enough to carry all these items at once.

You try to avoid dropping any items onto the ground, as you fumble blindly with them.

REFLEX TEST: 2 Grace + 2 Wit - 1 Can't See ☆☆☆ <VS> Difficulty ★Show

Success! ★☆☆

Phew! You dread what might've happened if you dropped that Flashlight.
Or anything, in this Darkness. Who knows where it'd have ended up?

The momentary panic subsides, as you blindly tuck the other items back into the Duffel.
You decide to equip the Flashlight, and keep your other hand free for now.

Definitely check out the red glowy thing with the flashlight
It's almost certainly not a horrible monster preying on the memory-addled.

A monster preying on the memory-addled? That's not a pleasant thought.

Still... you're here, and your curiosity outweighs your fear of the unknown.
Let's see what we're looking at here, you think to yourself.
You click the Flashlight on, and point it toward the Small Red Light.
