She's being followed by a [[Shadow]], a soldier of the [[F.E.A.R.]] (For Every and All Religion) organization, who carries a long spear decorated with what appears to be its symbol, as it's also seen on the outside of F.E.A.R.'s headquarters. She tries to stop him with the amulet, but he slaps it away and kills her with the weapon. The Shadow vanishes, and '''Eve''' is left weak and bleeding, looking up at the square building near her. |

Eve touches the now cleaned up wall and freaks out, throwing the bedsheets on the floor and flipping the chair and table.
