WARDEN: > SMILING Morning citizen. What a pleasant day outside. Remus must have blessed the skies above. {Player}: whispering Why did this NPC lead me here? Is this an ambush? WARDEN: > SMILE FADES AND SHAKES HEAD No, this is a sanctuary away from the darkness. {Player}: > CONFUSED whispering The guards never said anything like this be- > EYES WIDEN whispering Wait… Did he hear me? WARDEN: > GENTLE SMILE Yes… > CLEARS THROAT He isn't here; he cannot hear us. You can speak [REDACTED].

{Player}: > TERRIFIED How do you know my name? Who or what are you? WARDEN: > SMILES A friend. {Player}: > BREATHING INCREASES A friend? Who knows my name? Are you a stalker?! > BEGINS TO BACK AWAY FROM PC Please, just leave me-! WARDEN: > CONCERNED I'm not that, and I am not human. And please, do not be afraid. You are safe here, as I wish to discuss your current situation… You can relax… {Player}: > BREATHING SLOWS AND GOES BACK TO COMPUTER Okay, what do you want?

WARDEN: I have been watching you, and I have observed your husband's behavior towards you ever since you got married to him [REDACTED] months ago. His insensitive nature, his lack of remorse, and his unwillingness to help you. There have been several incidents where he has harmed you, and the incident last night has forced me to intervene as it was severe. {Player}: > TREMBLING I-I don't know what you are talking about-? Are you sure this is what you want to talk to me about-? WARDEN: October 18, 2025.

Your husband came home early from work at 5: 42 PM CST to find you resting on the couch resting after doing chores since 8: 00 AM CST. Your husband accused you of being lazy when you were resting before you planned on cooking a tuna casserole within a minute. He hurled several verbal insults at you and then proceeded to throw you off the couch and beat you with his belt. That lasted for 7 minutes. Judging from your injuries, you have a few fractured bones.

{Player}: > NERVOUS SMILE WHILE TREMBLING M-m-my husband is a good man who- WARDEN: > RAISES EYEBROW A good husband? A good husband who hurls vile verbal insults at his wife, accuses her of something she did not do, physically beats her with a leather belt fitted with metal buckles that has left several bruises that are still visible. {Player}: > QUICKLY HIDES ARMS IN POCKETS WARDEN: > SADDENED I can still see them, and hiding it will not alleviate the harm he has caused.

{Player}: > RELUCTANTLY SHOWS ARMS I was b-being lazy. > BEGINS SOBBING WARDEN: Lazy? In what way would someone taking care of the house for almost 10 hours a day be lazy? Doing grocery shopping to do meal prep for an entire day? To rest before cooking dinner to feed two for a week? All while that "man" sits on his chair and does nothing to help the one who takes care of them? That sounds like someone who is not lazy. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

{Player}: > COVERS FACE AND CRIES mumbling I was being a lazy wife… WARDEN: > VERY CONCERNED gently That does not sound like a good man to me… {Player}: > SNIFFLES Look, I don't know what you want, but I-I think it is a mistake. WARDEN: gently It isn't, you know that. {Player}: > SHAKING HEAD AND CLENCHES HAIR TERRIFIED exasperated I-I am at peace. I-I am just making things up. WARDEN: > DEEP SIGH gently [REDACTED], I want you to look at me.

{Player}: > DOES AS TOLD SLOWLY WARDEN: gently I want to help you, to give you an exit; for you to finally know peace. {Player}: > CURLS UP I don't want to be unfaithful to my husband… WARDEN: gently He has been unfaithful to you in how he treats you and how he never appreciates you for your hard work. {Player}: mumbling I am lazy though… WARDEN: And you know you worked since 8, correct? {Player}: > NODS SLOWLY WARDEN: Does he ever help you? {Player}: > SLOW BREATHING trembling N-no, he doesn't.

> STIFLES CRIES He works long days at [REDACTED], he told me. I do all of these things for him- WARDEN: Check your download folder. {Player}: > RELUCTANTLY DOES SO EDITOR'S NOTE: {The player witnessed a video of her husband's illicit activities related to drug smuggling activities that led him to being thrown in the slammer. … Okay, he was convicted of a lot of things, including that (my boss wants me to be more professional). The stuff in that file was turned over to them…} {Player}: > HORRIFIED trembling H-he said- WARDEN: gently A good husband wouldn't lie to his wife, who does more than most would do for him. {Player}: > CLENCHES FISTS Then does that mean he-? [REDACTED]: shouting HEY! WHERE'S MY [EXPLETIVE] LASAGNA?! I NEED FOR A COMPANY PARTY TOMORROW! I BETTER SEE IT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER BEFORE I LEAVE TOMORROW [EXPLETIVE]! {Player}: > FREEZES terrified whispering I've been married to a deadbeat… WARDEN: whispering Yes, you have…

> CROSSES ARMS AND GRIMACES IN THE DIRECTION OF VOICE BEFORE SMIRKING AT {Player} whispering You need to cook soon, yes? {Player}: > NODS SUSPICIOUSLY WARDEN: whispering And what are you making again? {Player}: > NERVOUS whispering L-lasagna. WARDEN: whispering Aren't you low on a certain ingredient, like say milk? {Player}: whispering A-a little bit, y-yes. WARDEN: whispering And your- > CLEARS THROAT AND AIR QUOTES whispering -"Husband" has no issue with you going to the grocery store?

{Player}: > SLOWLY SMILES whispering Y-yes. > STARES AT WARDEN INTENSELY whispering And it's a big one, too! WARDEN: > SHIT-EATING GRIN {"professional investigator" everyone} whispering You definitely need more milk, of course, and a "shopping list". A very extensive one, one perhaps with previous ones for memory's sake. > MOTIONS TO {Player} TO CHECK DOWNLOAD FOLDER {Player}: > CHECKS DOWNLOAD FOLDER > EXCITED SMILE whispering Yes! WARDEN: whispering And you do need a piece of paper?

Maybe perhaps two in case you lose one? {Player}: > EYES WIDEN whispering Oh, I forgot! > {Player} QUIETLY TAKES OUT TWO FLASHDRIVES AND INSERTS THEM IN HER COMPUTER > {Player} PROCEEDS TO DOWNLOAD AUDIO RECORDINGS TO TWO FLASHDRIVES WARDEN: > SMILES AND NODS {Player}: > DOES A HANDSHAKE GESTURE TO THE WARDEN whispering T-thank you! > TEARS IN EYES whispering I'll never forget this! WARDEN: whispering You'd better leave; you don't want to catch a cold. It's quite "chilly". Also, "smiles" attract "frowns".

{Player}: > SLOWLY NODS > TAKES FLASHDRIVES FROM COMPUTER AND STORES IT IN A THICK WINTER COAT > SHUTS DOWN COMPUTER AND LEAVES ROOM. INCIDENT 2 RESULT: [REDACTED] Left the house due to her missing an ingredient (milk) needed for lasagna. {The player} snuck in 2 flashdrives containing recordings incriminating [REDACTED] in a hidden compartment in her winter coat and proceeded to her local police station.

{The player} immediately handed over evidence to authorities and was immediately interviewed by a detective concerning [REDACTED]'s alleged domestic abuse, assault, and drug smuggling. {The player}'s injuries included internal bleeding in the arms, bone fractures located on the arms, and bruises visible on the arms. The detective that interviewed her found her injuries to be severe and she was sent to the hospital for medical treatment following the interview for 6 days.

The detective then proceeded to an emergency analysis of the evidence received from the {player}. Analysis of the evidence resulted in an emergency warrant issued within an hour of the {player}'s arrival at the police station by the local magistrate for domestic abuse, assault, and drug smuggling charges. [REDACTED] was arrested at 2057 hours the same day without incident. A K-9 unit was later dispatched and found $30, 000, 000 worth of [redacted] stored in a hidden wall compartment.

[REDACTED] was later tried and found guilty of domestic abuse, assault, and drug smuggling. [REDACTED] was sentenced to 72 years in federal prison. Within a month of his sentence, [redacted] disappeared without a trace from his cellblock. Inmates did not report any anomalies, but a later psychological assessment that was conducted found they were "overjoyed" at what possibly happened. A murder investigation regarding the disappearance of [REDACTED] is ongoing.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: {Removed for being dramatized and insensitive to the "subject" (I hate that goddamn word). Also, nice to dramatize a very serious court case, jackass} EDITOR'S NOTE: {I know I'm not allowed to show you the interview, but I can still paraphrase it. The player has very mixed opinions regarding what happened on October 18th, but told John, "He delivered me from the lowest pits of hell to heaven". … Is it okay to talk about-? … He says it's fine. The player told John she is currently undergoing intense psychiatric treatment for a slew of mental disorders caused by her deadbeat husband. I'm not going to detail what has happened to her since that day; that is an invasion of privacy, but she seems to be doing a lot better now. … Okay, he wants me to talk about that visitation. So… one of the members of Warden Watch actually visited the police station while researching the incident. The detective seemed a bit off, almost "glad" about what happened to the player's ex. And from what he could gather, apparently this guy was investigating the Warden regarding several cold cases, all of which are related to him. This one was recent. … That guy, though, I'm not really sure what began his obsession with the Warden. Envy I think? … Uh, my boss says not to think about it anymore. Next segment, as we're not doing the analysis by John and that interview! {SKIPPING VIDEO BY 13 MINUTES, 52 SECONDS}
