“Hello, Luv. I’m sorry I hid my illness from you. I didn't want to burden you with it. I love you so much, and I didn’t want you to face this alone, but life is unfair. I tried to protect you…Take the key. You know what it opens. Purge our home of the past, Luv. Be strong. You’re almost free.”

GAMEPLAY
