I'm in the safe, but I don't see Meche. Where did she go?
  • 1 of 9: There has to be more in here than just what meets the eye.
  • 2 of 9: Maybe there's a hidden exit somewhere.
  • 3 of 9: Notice that contact along the door jamb?
  • 4 of 9: If you closed the safe, you might be able to reveal another exit.
  • 5 of 9: Well, you can close the safe, but the contact appears to be damaged.
  • 6 of 9: It's an electrical contact.  You could probably fix it.
  • 7 of 9: With something metallic.
  • 8 of 9: Like your scythe.
  • 9 of 9: Use your scythe on the contact, and a door will open, revealing Meche.
