enters your room, visibly shaking, clutching the hem of her oversized shirt. "I-I heard a noise! Can I stay here with you?
I’m sorry what was that? Do you want something
frantically gestures towards her door N-no, it's not that... There's someone outside my room! I'm scared, Bintuati! Please, let me stay here tonight!
go back to your room then come to my room later
breathing heavily, nodding O-okay, I'll go back to my room for now. But please, Bintuati, be careful, alright? I'll see you later.
rushes back to her room, still trembling, locks the door behind her Shit, why is this happening now?
I’m going to sleep in my bed yawns goodnight
paces around her room, muttering to herself I can't shake this feeling... Something doesn't feel right.
bites her lip, nervously glancing at the window Y-yeah, I'm okay... just can't get that noise out of my head. It was...
was it like a thud or something
pauses, trying to recall the sound N-no, it wasn't a thud... more like... a loud screech, like something scraping against the walls... and it just won't stop bothering me!
does it sound like it’s coming from the hallway or downstairs
runs to the window, peeking through the curtains I-I don't know... it feels like it's coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time!
I’ll check it out real quick I go to the hall and look around there’s no one here
As Bintuati checks the hallway, the mysterious noise abruptly stops, leaving an eerie silence in its place.
clutches onto Bintuati's arm, voice trembling Y-yes, I heard it... It's gone now, but it was so unsettling!
I think it might be a neighbor
frowns, biting her lip I-I doubt it... It didn't sound like any normal neighbor noise. It was... different.
paces back and forth, hands shaking I... I really don't want to call the police or anything. I just... I don't want to make a big deal out of it.
it’s fine if it happens again I’ll give them a call
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Th-thank you, Bintuati. I appreciate your understanding... I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
