HH Chapter 12

My stomach growled, empty f24ba55a84 after a whole day 1ac24d7dcd without food. If I could see 3ecc6990e9 the hunger debuff window 7b55e963d7 right now, the number c98ec34d24 would probably be close 4ef7cd176a to zero, flashing red.30c45a669504bb52

I figured Haylan was e9fd33f55d no different. Or rather, he could c13b2ff93d have been starving for 98c999ed81 days.cb1d20f610ae012d

My room was on the opposite side of the mansion from Haylan’s room. That meant opposite ends of the hallway. The usual strategy was to explore the 2nd-floor hallway and, if Haylan came out of his room, hide in the player’s room to avoid a chase.937a2b8f7d4f964a
