Cybil's Scenario

Page 1 (Black)
Hita...

Hita... (Onomatopoeia for the feeling of cold)

Page 2
Something cold is touching Cybil's cheek. Cybil slowly opened her eyes.

Page 3
"Where am I..."

She is not yet able to stand up. She does not seem to be hurt; however, her body will not do as she commands. Nevertheless, she is fully conscious.

Page 4
Large snowflakes are falling all over her body. She is lying face down in the middle of a wide street.

"I wonder just how long I have been here like this?"

Page 5
After waiting for the nerves throughout her body to return to normal Cybil lumbered to her feet. Her body was sluggish, like when she wakes up, and she was unable to think straight.

Page 6 (Cybil walking in street)
"Silent Hill"

That is what is written on the sign on the sidewalk. In addition to the out of season snow the area is enveloped in thick fog, which generally makes her destination look differently than it normally would. The motorcycle that she came here on was also nowhere to be found.

Page 7
With nothing else to do, she decided to rest in the cafe facing the street.

Page 8 (Cafe)
The inside of the cafe is dead silent. She does not see any customers or employees. This destroys her hopes of getting something warm to drink, so she lets out a sigh.

Page 9
"First I must get in contact with the other officers back in Brahms."

Cybil picks up the receiver from the phone on the corner of the counter, but not a single sound can be heard from the speaker.

Page 10
It seems like somehow the heavy snowfall, which could be called abnormal weather, has damaged the communication systems.

There is no doubt that this is the reason why the call got cut off at the (Brahms) station.

Page 11
Cybil looks around the inside of the cafe.

"Ah..."

She gasps without thinking about it.

Page 12 (Cafe alternate angle with Harry on bench)
She can see a man lying down on one of the long bench seats lined up along the windows.

"A customer? No, this place isn't open."

She moves near him and looks down at his sleeping face. His face is twisting in agony, as if he is having a frightening dream.

Go to 1-2

Page 1 (Cafe alternate angle with Harry on bench)
Cybil hesitates.

A ) She waits for the man to wake up.
Go to 1-3

B ) She wakes the man up.
Go to 1-4

Page 1 (Cafe alternate angle with Harry on bench)
Cybil was relieved to know that she was not the only person in the town. She sat down at the counter and waited for the man to awaken.

Page 2
After a bit Cybil thought that the man's breathing had become troubled. As she thought this he forcefully sat up.

Page 3 (Cybil standing in the center of the cafe)
Cybil moved over to the man until she was able to look down at him and then folded her arms.

She was relieved. That was how she honestly felt.

Page 4
"It looks like you have come around."

"Who are you?"

The man asked this while heavily shaking his head.

Page 5
"I'm Cybil. Cybil Bennet. All communication with this town suddenly went dead. This worried me, so I came here to investigate."

Page 6
"I'm...Harry Mason. I brought my daughter to this town for some sightseeing, but on the way there was an accident and I lost consciousness... Oh, yeah, Cybil...You haven't seen a little girl in this town have you?"

Page 7 (Cybil changes)
For a moment Cybil could not hide her astonishment, but then because of her profession she quickly feigned a more resolute attitude.

Page 8
"A little girl... No, I haven't seen her..."

"When I came to after the accident my daughter was nowhere to be seen. The passenger door was open and she was gone.

Page 9
Cheryl...uh, sorry, my daughter's name is Cheryl... She is a timid child, so it is hard to imagine that she headed out into this weird town alone. Plus I was there in the driver's seat... And since she gave me no warning it just doesn't make sense.

Page 10
Are you familiar with this area? There is no sign of anyone, and what is going on with the snow at this time of year...
Just what in the world has happened in this town?"

Harry spoke while sighing.

Page 11
"I'm afraid I don't know either. I still haven't seen anyone other than you. It's like the town is as silent as a graveyard, left without even the means to contact any neighboring towns."

"I see."

Page 12 (Cybil changes)
"So you also had an accident? I thought it was a good idea to head to the police station in this town alone on my motorcycle, but... I guess I was going a little too fast.

Page 13
A girl suddenly jumped out into the road...I am pretty sure it was a girl...I almost hit her.
I cut the handlebars hard in order to avoid her... After that I can barely remember anything......

Page 14
When I came to I was lying in the street in front of this cafe. So naturally I came in here to get out of the snow. And then I found you sleeping there..."

Page 15
"I...was having some kind of a terrible dream. As for if I made it here on my own I don't remember at all... Just what in the world has happened in this town... What is going on with everything?"

Page 16
"Well, the situation is definitely strange. I will head back to Brahms for reinforcements, and then return here. How about you?"

Cybil stood and fixed her collar with resolute fortitude.

Go to 1-5

Page 1 (Cafe alternate angle with Harry on bench)
Cybil approaches the man and holds her arms out in a way that suggests that she is going to shake his shoulders.

Harry wakes up in Cafe 5 to 2

Page 2 (Black)
At that moment the man woke up with a look of surprise on his face. He shook his body in a way to brush Cybil's hands away, and then stared at her.

Page 3 (Cafe) (Cybil appears)
"Human? Are you human?"

Cybil makes an effort to compose herself and then sits down on a nearby chair.

"Of course I am. Were you having a bad dream or something?"

Page 4
The man finally regains his composure as well, and then he adjusts his position on the bench seat.

"...Sorry. I was attacked by mysterious monsters before I came here."

"Mysterious...monsters?"

Page 5
"Ah, yeah... It may have been just a dream... I think that it was real. It was all vague and unclear... Who are you?"

Page 6
"I'm Cybil. Cybil Bennet. I am a police officer in the neighboring town of Brahms. All communication with this town suddenly went dead, so I came here to investigate."

Harry's expression changed slightly to one of relief.

Page 7
"I should have said so sooner but, I'm Harry Mason. I am a writer. I had decided to come here for my first vacation in a while."

Harry shrugged his shoulders and looked at Cybil with a serious look on his face.

Page 8
"But when I arrived here I got separated from my daughter. She is a little girl, seven years old with black hair. Her name is Cheryl... You haven't seen her have you?"

Page 9
"Sorry, but I haven't..."

"...I see. Just where did she go? She is not the type to just act on her own..."

Page 10
"When I came to I was lying in the street in front of this cafe. As for how I got here, I don't remember at all."

"That sounds a lot like what happened to me... Well, anyway..."

Page 11
Harry stands up and glances at the out of season snow that continues to fall.

Go to 1-5

Page 1 (Cybil standing in the center of the cafe)
"I've got to look for Cheryl... There is no way I can just leave her here alone."

Page 2 (Gun in Cybil's hand)
"I see. Well, I'll give you this then. You never know what might happen under these circumstances. If you feel threatened then pull the trigger without hesitating."

Page 3
She gives Harry a handgun loaded with live ammunition.

Page 4
"But you...will you be alright?"

Harry asks worriedly.

"I'm not like the average girls around here. I have undergone the proper training."

Page 5
Cybil placed her hand on the exit door, but then she turned and faced Harry again.

Page 6
"Harry. Don't go shooting me by mistake or anything. I haven't had any training on how to stop bullets."

Page 7
She smiled after saying this, opened the door of the cafe, and then headed out into the thick fog.

Go to 2-1
