Jump scare deets:

Who: Nino and maybe, you!

What: Lightning SFX and the power going out, which is not a distinct flash visually, but for accessibility reasons, could be considered a flash by the nature of the background turning from light to dark.

Where: Nino's dorm room.

When: In the middle of the 4th scene.

Why: I added this in order to add drama to the scene, and to create an opportunity for Nino to be vulnerable.

Please note that you can lower the SFX volume in the preferences menu in order to reduce the impact of the jump scare!
