After freeing the White Queen and unlocking a secret room, young Lara discovered her mother's personal belongings and a cherished storybook. A memory of family conflict led to the traumatic discovery of her father's suicide. Lara eventually awoke from the dream, and I crafted new gear for the road ahead.
Now that the White Queen was free from the mechanism, I had to pull her from her spot to another spot on the floor. This final movement engaged the last lock, and it unlocked a door that had been hidden behind the bookshelves.
I had to cross this unknown threshold next, which led me to a secret room. And there I found her mom's things there, perfectly preserved as if time had stood still. It was a private sanctuary that had remained untouched since her mother's passing, as it seemed like.
There was this storybook, the title of Tale of the White Queen, that reminded her of the time when her father used to read the book for her. She could almost hear his voice echoing in the room while having her mother right there beside them. It was a rare memory of pure happiness.
She found painting accessories that reminded her how her mother appreciated her drawing when she was even younger. Lara touched the brushes softly, remembering the encouragement she received for her early sketches.
And suddenly, she found a box with a bracelet of her mother, that reminded her about a day when her mom fought with her dad. Her dad was always on the verge, as his obsession with his research was destroying this family. The memory was sharp and painful, echoing with the sounds of their raised voices.
Suddenly Lara heard gunshots echoing from her father's office room, so she rushed with her heart pounding in her chest. She burst through the door and found her father shot himself, making their only daughter a full orphan in an instant. The silence that followed was the end of her childhood.
Lara got up from her sleep, and it looked like she was having a dream about her past life. She took a deep breath to steady herself before preparing for the day's hunt. And then I crafted a custom outfit for her, and acquired a skill before continuing the journey.
