As the darkness enveloped the room, Nora felt a sense of panic wash over her. She was trapped, and she had no idea what was happening.
She heard the sound of footsteps echoing through the room, and then a faint light flickered to life. It was a small flashlight, held by Jack.
"Sorry about the power outage," Jack said, his voice calm and reassuring. "It's just a precaution. We can't be too careful."
Nora's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and she saw that Jack was standing in front of a small table. On the table was a folder, filled with papers and photographs.
"This is the truth about your past, Nora," Jack said, his eyes locked onto hers. "This is what they've been hiding from you."
Nora felt a surge of curiosity, and she stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the folder.
As she opened the folder, she saw a photograph of a young woman. The woman was smiling, and her eyes sparkled with happiness.
