You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

That also means we have to wait longer to find out the answers.

Well, we can discuss which ones I should have guessed correctly, but that would lead to a longer list than my correct guesses, so we'll leave it at that.

Can you post the full picture from Mean Streets? I have yet to play the game, but something about that picture seemed familiar to me. Odd.
