Audrey drives a taxi. There is news on the radio discussing an incident in which a psychologist assaulted a patient. The girl asks the driver to turn off the radio, he agrees, but he himself begins to continue the topic from the news, saying that the psychologist himself is crazy.
The girl delves into memories, where she is attacked by a patient who is in acute psychosis and tells nonsense about his dreams in which he hurts her.
Choice: If I don’t act now, he will kill me… (Defending yourself earns you a reputation point later in history)

On the veranda of a Gothic mansion, where she came for an interview, Audrey encounters a young man. He asks in a not very friendly way why she is here and just as unkindly informs that she doesn’t look like someone who could work in their organization, but tells her how to get to the office. There she meets Mikael, who is surprised that she wants to work in a simple position as an appraiser with such a strong CV.
Some choices increase belief values or skepticism. On the path of faith the heroine is open to everything new, uncomplicated, honest and makes concessions more easily.

- I believe that changes will benefit me (+1 Faith);
- This is how circumstances developed (+1 Faith);
- When I leave the walls of the hospital, I do not cease to be a doctor (+1 skepticism).
Blomkvist asked a few more questions and suggested that the girl not look for a hotel, but stay in the mansion, just like everyone else who works here.

Audrey remained in the room, but soon decided that it was better to walk through the Gothic garden, which was visible from her window. She slipped into the hallway, but heard the melody and went to the room they came from. There was a young man in the living room, he was playing the violin and was abruptly interrupted because the girl distracted him by cracking the door. The young man turned out to be another appraiser named Rafail.

Audrey says goodbye to Raphael and goes for a walk in the garden. She could walk endlessly and enjoy the Gothic splendor of the garden, which nature had obscured for years. The girl’s path is blocked by a statue of an angel and she decides to sit next to her on a bench, thinking about her parents’ religiosity.
Choice: This is my only day off! Why don’t I get enough sleep?
- Isn’t God everywhere? (+1 Faith);
- I feel so bad! (+1 Skepticism);
- I have a lot of homework! (+1 Skepticism).
Audrey returns from the garden to the house and on the way to her bedroom she sees that the door is ajar. Curiosity takes over and she looks into the narrow slit light. There Cassiel sits hunched at the table and bandages his arm. Blood seeps through the bandages and the girl is scared, remembering David’s words that Cassiel’s job is to protect everyone in this agency. Audrey quickly goes to her bedroom and gets ready for bed, but she is interrupted by the phone ringing from the bottom of her bag.
Choice: Well, who needs me this late?
- I hope it is my lawyer with good news (+1 Faith);
- Late night phone calls are never good (+1 skepticism);
- Did someone give curious journalists my number? (+1 Skepticism);
- Maybe my old boss has come to his senses? (+1 Faith).
Path of faith: you tell Ruth that your new colleagues are not crazy at all, just a little strange.
The path of skepticism: You’re saying that no matter what their reputation is, without a license you have no other options.
Audrey has a nightmare in which she walks down the hallway of a mansion to an old and creepy cellar door. There are screams from behind this door, asking her to help, not to leave. David’s voice brings her out of a terrible dream: he came to wake her up for their first mission together.
