You: "Please don't cry, please don't cry..." (Slap your face.) "I don't want anyone to see me cry!"

3
Warded Door: After exerting some force you manage to turn the key. It's eerily silent. The door slides slightly open, letting a draft of cold air into the room.
8
Shivers: You feel the tiny hairs on the back of your neck rise up, as if someone's standing right behind you.
3->8
4
Shivers: Outside, the wind howls in from across the bay. The building at Rue de Saint-Ghislaine stands like a matchbox on its side, with men inside like little wooden sticks ready to catch fire.
67
Shivers: A panicking woman squeezes the pendant around her neck until it leaves a mark inside her palm. A man, a few metres away, stands frozen with a key in his hand. Somewhere inside a spider is spinning its web.
4->67
5
Physical Instrument: Walk it off, son! Stop wriggling like a maggot, it's nothing to worry about.

6
Physical Instrument: That's right, take in your surroundings. You need to have a solid ground and a proper posture if you want to succeed.

7
Pain Threshold: The door shudders with your impact. Hinges snap, panels crack, splinters fly by as you smash through, tumbling into the darkness ahead.
27
Half Light: An uneasy knot forms in the pit of your stomach...
8->27
9
Warded Door: It barely looks like you've done any damage to the door, however -- it's still locked and closed, covered in dozens of little charms and trinkets.

Warded Door: A heavy door with a missing handle stands before you, covered in dozens (if not hundreds) of Semenese trinkets and charms. It appears to be locked.

Warded Door: A heavy door with a missing handle stands before you, covered in dozens (if not hundreds) of little oddly-shaped trinkets and charms. It appears to be locked.

Kim Kitsuragi: "Detective, you're the one in charge." The lieutenant motions toward the door.
14->81
15
Plaisance: "What is going *on* there?!" an upset, high-pitched voice calls out from the bookstore. "Are you really trying to break down the back door?"
21
Plaisance: "I warn you, don't tempt the spirits, officer!" You can hear her take a frightened step backwards. "Don't tempt the spirits or you'll damage the holy *wards* on the door!"
15->21
16
You: And what about the door?
49
Physical Instrument: It's made of a solid block of wood, but it has stood there for ages -- the hinges are old and coated with a carmine layer of rust. It should be doable.
16->49
17
You: "Is that... Is that *blood* I'm seeing?" (Rub your forehead.)
17->82
18
You: Smash into the door and shout: "Welcome to Revachol!"
18->7
19
Kim Kitsuragi: "You're not thinking of trying again, are you?" The lieutenant stares at you as you stand there, silent and brooding.

Kim Kitsuragi: "Are you alright?" The lieutenant steps closer, his eyes soft and worried. "This looked... pretty intense and painful, I must admit."
20->15
21->9
22
Physical Instrument: Steady breathing, solid core -- you've got this. With one shoulder forward you're ready to smash into the door like a battering ram.

Pain Threshold: You smash into the wood and see a small crack appear on the door frame. It's going to take one more try to break through to the other side, but you've done it...

Pain Threshold: Ow, shoot! Whose moronic idea was it to just *run through the door*? Don't you know that things like that *hurt*?!
