– Lucas Kane confessing the murder to his brother, Markus | ||
"Confession" is the fourth chapter in Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy. It can either be the fourth or fifth chapter depending on the player's choice.
Synopsis[]
In a tense meeting at the park, Lucas confesses to his brother Markus his crime, revealing details about a murder, disturbing visions, and self-harm from carving a serpent into his arms. Markus, visibly upset, questions Lucas's mental state and suggests he seek help from authorities or a hospital, which frustrates Lucas, leading to a heated exchange. Before parting, Markus offers Lucas a crucifix, which Lucas can either accept gratefully or reject, stating he needs more than that for help.
As Lucas leaves, he has a premonition of a child playing near a frozen lake and falling through the ice. He faces a critical choice: to save the child and risk being recognized by the police or to ignore the situation, leading to lasting guilt and self-loathing.
