Cody looked at the flower vase placed on the dining table with a hesitant gaze. Although not very clear in the darkness, the shape and color of the vase still brought back beautiful memories. The vase, shaped like a cylinder and made of clear glass, was a gift from his aunt, Mary, when Cody had just moved to his current home. Cody remembered vividly how Mary smiled brightly while giving him the vase, feeling happy and proud of Cody's new home.
Now, in the dark atmosphere and pressure around him, the flower vase seemed to be Cody's best choice to use as a weapon. It's easy-to-grip shape and sharp end gave him hope. Cody felt around the dining table, searching for ways to utilize the flower vase to the fullest if the situation worsened. He felt his heartbeat quickening, the tension in his body becoming more pronounced.
"It must be strong," Cody thought to himself, referring to the flower vase. "Although it's just glass, it can be a deadly weapon if used correctly."
Cold sweat dampened Cody's fingers as he tightly gripped the flower vase. There was deep concern in his heart, but his decision had been made. Cody was ready to face any possibility with the flower vase as his weapon.

With the flower vase in hand, Cody moved towards the mysterious figure in the room. He planned his steps, positioning himself to attack. However, before he could launch his attack, the figure attacked him first. Their hands caught Cody's, preventing him from using the flower vase as a weapon.
"You're quite brave," the figure said mockingly.
Cody was surprised by the figure's presence. After all the horrific events at the office, seeing someone alive in front of him felt like a breath of fresh air.
"You're alive!" Cody exclaimed hopefully.
"What do you mean I'm alive? Of course, I'm alive! You strange person!" the figure replied, sounding annoyed. They disarmed Cody and slammed him against the wall, causing Cody to fall.
Before the figure could continue their attack, Cody shouted pleadingly, "Stop...Stop! I don't want to die! I want to meet my sister!"
The figure stopped their attack and helped Cody to stand up.
