Audio recorded interview with the future Dr. Matilda Woe prior to her appointment as Head of Dante’s Research Sector. This interview was conducted on XX/XX/1998.
Thank you for coming today, Ms. Woe. This interview will mainly cover your father, Dr. James Woe. We believe he is an integral part of the story.
I completely agree. Where should I begin?
Just describe your father and his career.
Sure. He was very intelligent and driven. From what I’ve read in his papers, he was passionate about changing the world’s perspective on mental illness. He was a psychiatrist, mainly. I believe he got his start working with children and teenagers dealing with extreme trauma.
Over the years, he started taking more intense patients, such as criminals and asylum residents. He was killed when I was six years old. I remember him decently well, and I also brought you this photograph of him.
Thank you. I’ll add this to the record. Could you continue from where your father meets his patient, Levi?
Yes…his full name was Levi Bal. My father was assigned to meet with him for mandatory therapy sessions. Levi apparently killed one of his coworkers in a warehouse accident.
According to my father’s notes, he identified Levi as a schizophrenic almost immediately. The man claimed to hear voices and have regular conversations with “The Devil.”
My father treated all of his patients equally, and insisted that Levi’s sessions be held in the home office. I think he never once saw Levi as a dangerous man.
Also…could someone walk me out of here? This place is absolutely massive.

Audio recorded interview with the future Sgt. Oliver Keen prior to his appointment as Head of Dante’s Recon Sector. This interview was conducted on XX/XX/1998.
Hello, Mr. Keen. Thank you for coming in today.
Sure…what can I help with?
Well, we are currently working on a record of Ms. Woe’s father, Dr. James Woe, and his involvement in this situation.
Alright. Sorry, but I wouldn’t know anything about him.
Well (paper shuffling), that may not be the case. We went through his diligent records of patients and came across this.
What? Why is my name on there?
This is a record of an emergency psychiatric examination conducted on you in Maine, 1983. You were very young. Do you remember?
Of course, yeah. What the…that’s a really strange coincidence. Matilda and I only met this month.
We thought the two of you would find it amusing. Can you tell us about this examination and what you remember of Dr. Woe?
Well, it was right after my parents died. They were killed by an…um…animal. I was only six at the time.
That’s terrible. I apologize, none of us were aware of that.
Oh, it’s alright…Dr. Woe was called to talk to me. I wouldn’t speak to anyone. It was…difficult for me to process what I saw. Anyway, something weird happened. I said something that made him leave.
Made him leave?
Yeah, I remember it vividly. I described the creature that killed my parents, and after I described it to him, he just packed his things and ran out.
That’s not very fitting with what we know about him. Do you remember what you said?
Yes, I was explaining how the thing was dripping in this dark liquid. It was kind of like ink or something.
…Well. I think we will have to look even further into Dr. Woe’s records. Actually, just look at this…this date right here.
Yeah?
That’s the date of your examination. Dr. Woe was killed by another patient when he got home from Maine that night.
