He stopped and turned to face Scarlett, his voice lowering to a near growl. "The choice is yours."
Scarlett remained silent, her heart pounding in her chest as the tension in the room thickened.

Scarlett's eyes flicked to Louise, whose expression mirrored Maya's anxiety.
"What should we do, Scarlett?" Louise asked, his voice barely above a whisper, his gaze fixed on her with a mix of curiosity and worry. "Are we accepting their options and agreeing to live by their rules?"
Scarlett's mind raced. This place is really creepy… but I can't help thinking we might discover some secrets here, she thought to herself.
Ding!
{If that's the case, host, then go for it. You're right, there are several secrets to be discovered here.}
