Cybil's Scenario

Page 1 (Black)
"There should be an elementary school on the edge of town."

Cybil followed her intuition and decided that Cheryl probably headed for the school after wandering around town.

Page 2
Per her training in child psychology, she has learned that if a child loses their parents or guardian then the chance is high that they will be drawn to places that they are most used to going, places where there are a lot of people.

Page 3
However, ahead of her all knowledge, either a bit instinctively, or due to a sense similar that to that of a memory coming back, she believed somewhere within her heart that Cheryl was probably at the elementary school.

Page 4 (School entrance)
Cybil may have been drawn here by someone. As she nears the elementary school part of her shirt becomes soaked with clammy sweat.

Page 5
"Is it really ok to go inside?"

She asks herself this many times.

Page 6
As she reached the edge of the school grounds her conscientious sense of duty as a police officer rose up within her along with her sense of reason, and she began to walk naturally towards the school.

Page 7
It is now too late for her to turn back. She readies herself, and then using both hands she pushes the door in front of her open with all her strength.

Page 8 (Black)
The aged building reeked of a peculiar mildew. However, its insides were much cleaner than she had expected, and Cybil found this a bit surprising.

Page 9
Perhaps it was just the result of her enduring the cold wind for so long, but she had a terrible headache. Cybil pressed her fingers to her temples, and eventually began to walk
aimlessly again.

Page 10 (School hall, dark)
Cybil opened a door leading to a long hallway. She looked through the glass windows placed in the doors of the classrooms while slowly walking. There was no sign of Cheryl.

Page 11
The courtyard is to her right. The landscaping is very nice, and has been well cared for. The snow has become sleet. It does not look like it will accumulate. In the back of the courtyard there is an old-feeling clock tower; however, Cybil is not particularly interested in it.

Page 12
"Hmm, I wonder how Harry is doing... I wonder if the gun I gave him has come in handy... If I cannot meet with Harry after I find Cheryl then it will be meaningless...

Page 13
We should have made plans to rendezvous somewhere..."

Cybil thought this, but at this point nothing could be done.

Page 14 (Black)
At any rate, there was her horrible headache. It is gradually getting worse, dulling her sense of time and space. A sluggishness similar to sleepiness grasps her entire body.

Page 15 (Stairs, animated)
"Perhaps I am just dreaming all of this?", Cybil thought. It is difficult for a person to tell whether they are dreaming or not while in a dream, but for her to accept these conditions is just as difficult.

Page 16
She has no memory of how she got to this town, so it seemed natural for her to think that she has been in a deep sleep since the moment of the motorcycle accident until now.

Page 17
"Or possibly from even before then... From the time of the phone call with the Silent Hill (police) station? Or maybe..."

Page 18
While contemplating the many possibilities, Cybil climbed the stairs to the second floor of the school.

Go to 4-2

Page 1 (Black)
And then...

A ) She heard a melody being played on a piano.
Go to 4-3

B ) She heard the scream of a little girl.
Go to 4-4

Page 1 (Black)
And then she heard a melody being played on a piano from one of the classrooms.

Page 2
A nervous look ran across Cybil's face. And at the same time she felt relief. As if being drawn by the sound of the piano Cybil cautiously moves toward the room that the is music coming from while feeling along the wall with her hand.

Page 3
"Music Room"

That is what is written on the door. The beautiful melody is definitely being played by someone in this room. Cybil places her hand on the door.

Page 4
And at that moment... The music suddenly stopped and the area was enveloped in silence.

Page 5 (Music room)
"Who's there?"

She says this and then opens the door. Inside the center of the room a grand piano has been placed. The piano appears cramped within the cozy room.

Page 6
No one is sitting in front of the piano.

Page 7
Cybil approaches the piano. Its cover is open and the blacks and whites on the keyboard stand out. Almost like smoke, the player of the piano appears to have vanished into thin air.

Page 8
"Strange..."

Cybil mutters. Behind the curtains... Under the piano... Cybil looked in all the places in the room that a person could hide.

Page 9
There is only one entrance to this room. There is no other way to enter this room other than by using the door that Cybil just came through.

"Did they jump out of the window? No, this is the second floor. Falling from here would result in more than just an injury."

Page 10
Having become a little spooked, she turned to leave the room. In the next instant Cybil's heart nearly stopped.

Page 11 (Cheryl in music room)
At the entrance to the music room a white faced girl was sitting still, and just looking at Cybil. She appeared to be afraid of something, and her wide eyes were filled with tears that looked like jewels.

Page 12
"Cheryl...? Are you Cheryl...?"

Cybil regained her composure and approached the little girl. She kneeled and softly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, and the girl nodded.

Page 13
"My name is Cybil. Your daddy is looking for you. If we don't hurry back to him... Your daddy is braving danger running around this town. Have you seen that ferocious-looking monster?"

Page 14
Cybil thought of the monster that she had seen in town as she spoke.

Go to 4-8

Page 1 (School hall, dark)
Suddenly Cybil heard the scream of a little girl from in front of her.

"What ...?"

A nervous look ran across Cybil's face.

"Cheryl? A scream...? ...that could mean..."

Page 2
However, there was also a feeling of relief deep inside Cybil's heart. The presence of another human... Someone else who could sympathize with her about this isolated world...

Page 3
Cybil begins to run. It doesn't matter to her who's voice that was, and she runs down the long hallway praying that they are okay.

Page 4
And as she approached a certain room...

Go to 4-5

Page 1 (School hall, dark)
Cybil noticed something.

A ) The figure of a person.
Go to 4-6

B ) Something at her feet...
Go to 4-7

Page 1 (School hall, dark)
Through the small window in the door Cybil thought that she saw a small figure swaying back and forth. She stops moving.

Page 2
"This is..."

"Music Room"

That is what is written on the door. She opens the door without hesitation and rushes into the room.

Page 3 (Black)
"You..."

Page 4 (Cheryl in music room)
In the corner of the room a white faced girl was sitting still, and just looking at Cybil. She appeared to be afraid of something, and her wide eyes were filled with tears that looked like jewels.

Page 5
"Were you the one that screamed?"

The little girl does not answer. Cybil swallows and looks at the little girl again.

Page 6
"Cheryl...? Are you Cheryl...?"

Cybil regained her composure and approached the little girl. She kneeled and softly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, and the girl nodded.

Page 7
"My name is Cybil. Your daddy is looking for you. If we don't hurry back to him... Your daddy is braving danger running around this town. Have you seen that ferocious-looking monster?"

Go to 4-8

Page 1 (School hall, dark)
Something is tangling and twisting around Cybil's feet.

Page 2
It feels slippery, and has bound Cybil's feet like a long piece of tape. She falls down and lands hard on her butt.

Page 3
"What...is this...!"

Page 4
Through her boots she can feel the jelly-like substance moving up her body. It is accompanied by a horrible smell that makes her want to vomit.

"KYAA!"

Page 5
She tried as hard as she as she could to free herself, but the more she struggled, the more it spread, and in no time it had moved to her upper body.

Page 6
Once it gets in her mouth it will be all over.

Page 7
"Please stop."

The voice is a little girl's. Obeying the voice the jelly stops its movement, and appears to sink into Cybil's clothing as it dissipates.

Page 8 (Close up of Cheryl in school)
Cybil raises her head. "Music Room" is written on the door. The door is halfway open, and a little girl appears from inside. Her soft black hair stands out against her fair complexion.

Page 9
"Cheryl...? Are you Cheryl...?"

Cybil regained her composure and approached the little girl. She kneeled and softly placed her hands on the girl's shoulders, and the girl nodded.

Page 10
"My name is Cybil. Your daddy is looking for you. If we don't hurry back to him... Your daddy is braving danger running around this town.

Page 11
You also saw that monster just now, didn't you? If we don't get out of here soon then we will also be in danger."

Page 12
Cheryl shakes her head back and forth to say "no". Cybil does not understand what Cheryl means, but continues anyway.

Page 13
"I will protect you. Let's go to your Daddy. It is my duty to take you to him."

Page 14
Cybil says this, takes Cheryl's hand in hers and they begin to run down the hallway.

Go to 4-11

Page 1 (Cheryl in music room)
Cheryl...

A ) shakes her head "no".
Go to 4-9

B ) shakes her head "yes".
Go to 4-10

Page 1 (Cheryl in music room)
Cheryl shakes her head no.

Page 2
"I see. Well, at any rate something strange is happening in this town. All the people have completely vanished. If we don't get out of here soon then we might disappear as well."

Page 3
Once again Cheryl shakes her head no. Cybil does not understand what Cheryl means, but continues anyway.

Page 4
"I will protect you. Let's go to your Daddy. It is my duty to take you to him."

Page 5
Saying this, Cybil takes Cheryl's hand in hers, and they leave the music room.

Go to 4-11

Page 1 (Cheryl in music room)
"Yeah. You mean the one that looks like a dog? I have seen it. But he was not ferocious. He won't attack anyone or anything like that."

Page 2
Cybil spoke with surprise.

"It attacked me. And I had given my handgun to your Daddy... I thought I was going to die."

Page 3
"But he was nice to me. And he listens to what I say."

Cybil was half shocked, and sighed.

Page 4
"Well, okay. It would be terrible if you got hurt. I will protect you. Let's go to your Daddy. It is my duty to take you to him."

Page 5
Saying this, Cybil takes Cheryl's hand in hers, and they leave the music room.

Go to 4-11

Page 1 (Black)
By chance... The two of them happen to look out a window.

"That's..."

Page 2
From where they are the visible courtyard has become completely enveloped in darkness. For it to become night so soon...

Page 3
For a moment Cybil cannot believe her eyes, but then she was only able to worry about whether she would be able to meet Harry.

Page 4
The two of them walk down the pitch black hallway. Because of the difference in their strides their footsteps overlap as they echo.

Page 5
At the moment they approached the entrance to the school grounds Cheryl spoke directly for the first time.

Page 6
"I... I don't want to leave here. I don't want to see my Daddy. If we meet there will be sadness. You should go back Ma'am."

Page 7
Cybil stopped walking, and spoke while just staring at Cheryl.

Page 8
"It's your Daddy. There's no reason that it would be sad for you to see him. If you stay here then you might get hurt or worse. Things would then be truly sad."

Page 9
Saying that Cybil begins walking again. After a bit she stops and adds, "It's Miss, not Ma'am" and then the two of them left the school.

Go to 5-1
