The profile is your kingdom beyond. It is your pirate ship, the rocky seas, and your magical coven. The Fantasy profile is where your imagination takes flight and your inhibitions wear away to show everything lying beneath the surface - desperate to breakthrough.

You attend a local Halloween party. Despite the crowd, you feel lonely and guilty. Today is the one-year anniversary of your best friend's disappearance. Your soured mood drives you away from the party to the nearby lake. The area is supposed to be closed after dark, but to your shock, you see a person who looks just like your missing friend, standing in the chilly water. They tell you that they have a secret to show you and offer you a hand. Do you follow the face you trust? What happens next?
