Chapter 9：Recorded Phone Conversation

????

"Hey what's up?"

"I don't have much time to talk."

"Huh!? What's wrong Mila?"

"Someone's in the apartment."

"What?!"

"And I can't seem to reach any other number besides yours."

"That's weird…"

"It doesn't matter. I think I know who it is."

"Who is it? Do you need me to call for help?!"

"There's someone who's been following me around in the shadows lately but this is the first time they've followed me inside the apartment."

"What the hell? Why didn't you mention you were being followed sooner?!"

"Sorry. But honestly, I wasn't sure if they were real. I was just seeing things and didn't want to worry anyone but-"

A loud noise is heard in the background.

"Mila? What was that?!"

"…I don't know."

"I-I'll get help sent over and I'll be there soon! Can you escape?"

"I can't escape."

"Th-then try to stay safe. I'll get help!"

"..."

"Mila? Are you still there?"

"I'm not calling you to ask for help, I'm calling to say goodbye."

"Wait. Wait! Don't hang up! Oh my gods, Mila there's something you need to know."

"…What?"

"I know. I know who it is."

"What?!"

"I'm really sorry. I didn't, I didn't think it would go like this…"

"Why?"

"..."

"But you won't be there...

Goodbye, Mila."

The call has ended.
