I wasn't expecting it to be a haunted house…

I-I would've refused if I knew it was!

I wanted to gather some data from scaredy-cats as well, so you had to be one of my subjects, Ruby. Rina-chan Board says, “Tense.”

Don't you “tense” me!

Th-The tricks and traps are all fake anyway, Ruby! It's not so scary once you realize that.

You do not sound nearly as convincing as you should when you say it in such a shaky voice.

But it's scary when you're the only one who can hear the voices…

Well, it is a haunted house, so I suppose you could say that it's doing a good job. Perhaps it might be a little too frightening for small children?

It's okay. This attraction has an age limit on it.

That means this isn't just your average haunted house, then…

My relative said they made it super scary.

Urk… Would it have hurt them to put a little less effort in?

EEEEEEEEK!

That was only the sound of the wind just now. It had nothing to do with the attraction.

Th-That scared the living daylights out of me…

You screamed as well, Kasumi. Shouldn't you be used to these sounds?

I-I was just startled by all of your voices!

Kasumi, you can just admit it if you're scared, you know? Everyone's scared, so you're not alone here.

Waaahhh, Kotori!

Go into that classroom next.

We're already heading into the next scary bit?!

[Fade in/out.]

These here…are rows of Japanese dolls packed together… Seeing so many in one spot is quite creepy, indeed.

C-Can I leave now?!

Look at that doll's eyes! They're following our every movement, aren't they?!

EEEEEEK!!!

I-I can't take this anymore!

Wait, Ruby! Don't run off on your own! You can't leave me behind!

Oh. Off she goes…

These are all fake, these are all fake… I can probably get through this if I just keep thinking that to myself. It's still terrifying, though.

I'm not getting the reaction I want. Maybe it's not effective because it doesn't move? I'll improve it so that it laughs while it creeps up towards you.

Y-You don't have to make those kinds of improvements!
