Go to the second floor and investigate Ben
From Create Your Own Story
You decide to investigate Ben. Making sure your pistol is on your hip, you knock on his door. "Come in," he says.
"Hey, Ben," you say casually. Playing it cool, you ask, "Are you close friends with any of the others?"
"Not really. They have their things and I have mine. Annabelle's a nice girl, though."
"Do you know Joe well?"
"Not really. He mostly kept to himself. Then he had his accident. He's been in a coma for a while."
"Do you trust everyone in here?"
"What's with the third degree, Marina?"
You take a deep breath and decide to go big or go home. "Ben, there's a pair of saboteurs trying to mess things up in the castle. They're the reason four people have died in such a short span of time. We...we busted Joe faking his injury, and we know he's one of them. We're trying to find out who his partner is. Holly is interrogating him right now, while Jack and I look for clues."
Ben looks genuinely shocked. Either he's a great actor, or he's being honest.
"You don't think I'm..." he begins.
"To be honest, I can't be 100% sure, but I don't think it's you," you say. "I wanted to know if you had any ideas."
"This is going to sound crazy, but..."
"Come on, Ben. Nothing you say can shock me now."
Ben looks at you. "Did you know that besides Steve, the other three people who died were all attractive young women?"
"No, I didn't."
"Well, maybe Holly is jealous that Jack will leave her for a younger woman, and she's..."
"Ben, that's crazy!"
"I knew you'd react like that."
You sigh. "Okay, I'll try to keep an open mind, no matter how cr...Anyway, do you have any evidence? Anything at all?"
"Well, Annabelle has confided in me that Holly makes her uncomfortable. She says Holly's always nice to her on the surface, but she can feel something wrong, like Holly's jealous and threatened by her."
You frown. "That's not really evidence."
"Don't you think it's a little convenient that Holly's interrogating Joe alone?"
For the first time, you feel a bit of suspicion towards Holly. You then feel a pang of guilt. She saved your life...
You take a breath. You can't let emotions dictate your actions. You just have to act on pure logic. That's the only way to stay alive in this brave new world.
"I'm not saying you're right, Ben. But I'm not saying you're wrong, either. Like I said, I'm keeping an open mind. Are you willing to help me?"
Ben stands up. "Yes. But we should get Annabelle to come with us. Three will be better than two."
