Thea calls out from the lumber room

Thea's muffled cries from the lumber room slice through the Priory's oppressive silence, her voice trembling with rising desperation.

Her terror establishes a precarious balance between the human instinct to respond and the calculated danger of revealing their own presence within the Priory. key_dialogue: [ THEA: Hello?
