Sam's yearning for some food for his childhood. Chinatown's been quiet for months. Perhaps a little too quiet.

Scene summaries may contain spoilers
1
A recent haul of woks by one of the other runners led Sam to decide that cooking for everyone would be a nice Halloween treat.
2
As you run through the deserted, largely untouched streets of Chinatown, Sam continues to reminisce about his upbringing.
3
Sam tells you the story of the Jiang-Shi, a version of a zombie from Chinese folklore. Reanimated, but still stiff corpses, they jump after their prey in order to steal their Chi.
4
Sam notices a group of people outside the shop you're in. All as one, they jump towards you and Sam recognises them for what they truly are: the Jiang-Shi!
5
The solution soon comes to Sam's mind: throw raw rice at them. With this in mind, you loop back to the shop to gather ammunition.
6
The effect is startling: the Jiang-Shi begin coughing up lungfuls of rice before dropping dead.
7
Having disposed of the last of the Jiang-Shi, you head back to Abel. Sam complains about having some rice stuck in his mouth.
8
As you approach Abel, Janine gets in touch for a debriefing. She expresses concern about Sam's health, before asking why you and he are jumping.
