I feel at ease having my phone in my hand, but I also doubt whether I should contact for help. Finally, I decided not to drag Genji, but I didn't progress at all it was simply stupid luck that I was saved.

Even though I'm still on the point of panic, I take a deep breath and carefully consider my situation. Since I have 4 hours more to survive. I need to come up with a plan to save myself, I need to find a way out of this problem.

In order to buy some more time, hiding is a smart idea, but it's hazardous, and I don't think I can go back inside my closet in my current condition. For one thing, it only uses sound and vision to find me; if there is an obstruction in the way of either, it cannot see me. Second, it immediately moves to the location of the sound as it hears it, therefore if anything makes a sound, can I utilize it to my advantage as a distraction?

I need to leave the bedroom, but I can't hide in the living room or kitchen since they are both too open. My only remaining option is the bathroom because it has one window but it is still small and I have nowhere to go if someone peeks in.

The moment I was deciding on my next course of action, it returned and looked through the bedroom window once more. I waited for it to disappear, but I felt like something has changed, making me believe that it won't.

My hands began to tremble.

I use the advantage that my bed's frame is obscuring the view to carefully crawl through the bedroom door; as I do so, I smack my feet on the door frame, It Hurts!. I bit my lip so that I didn't make a sound, suddenly I felt a very unpleasant glare on me.

Since the bed frame is in the way, it is impossible to see me. just to be sure

I turn around,

Slowly.

The shadow is gone, where!?

It changed as I was crawling?

I shuddered.

My living room window exposed a figure. Directly gazing at me despite the curtain concealing its vision, I can feel that it is aware of my presence.

I need to find a means to change the direction it's looking. I look around me for objects to throw without moving my body or head. The only object I can reach is the photo frame of our family, which is beside me. I carefully raise my left arm to pick it up without obstructing my view of the shadow figure standing behind the window.

I swing my left arm, releasing the picture frame, which flew and broke as it hit the kitchen wall.

The creature moved quickly in the direction of the kitchen window. I softly and slowly entered my bathroom and shut the door.

After entering the bathroom, I sat on the bathtub with my legs trembling and my heartbeat thumping, thinking that for the time being, this place was secure because there was just one square-shaped window. I set the candle's timer for 1 hour and 30 minutes; the first candle almost reached 2 hours.

I close my eyes out of tiredness and instantly pass out.
