Someone is trying to enter Robert's sealed house. After a little effort, that person succeeds in breaking the lock on the door!
The whole place is too dark; nothing can be seen!
The man turns on his torchlight. It's still too dark to see his face!
He moves forward, appearing to search for something.
Suddenly, a recognizable voice can be heard reciting a poem:
"In shadows' embrace, where fears entwine, Monsters lurk, in darkness fine. Among them stands, with dreadful might, I am that monster, born of night."
Jebi emerges from the darkness!
(Jebi) - Hey there! How's this poem? I just made it a second ago!
The person looks at Jebi.
(Jebi) - Whoa, what a surprise. Aren't you one of Robert's patients? Your name is John, I believe!
(John) - How did you corner me? My plan was perfect!
(Jebi) - No human is perfect, you know. No human has the permission to be given the title of perfection except me! Because the beast inside of me isn't human!
(John) - Then how did you catch me?
(Jebi) - Well, I have to admit, catching you was tricky. Your plan is truly impressive. If I have to rank your plan among the ones I've ever seen, then your plan would be Number 4. Hey, how about that you explain your plan yourself? Although I have an idea of what your plan was, I still want to confirm it by hearing it from your mouth.

(John) - Fine, I will explain my plan, and you will explain yours!
(Jebi) - Fine by me!
(John) - Then let's start with me! My plan had multiple layers. First, as you know, I was a patient of Dr. Robert, or at least that's what he thought. In reality, I had recovered from my illness long ago. I pretended to be his patient to gain his trust and manipulate him. He was my ideal victim. I learned about his traumatic childhood in an article. My motive was to manipulate him into thinking he had multiple personality disorder, and I succeeded. I had a key to his house. I secretly entered his house and changed his medicines to drugs, rendering him unconscious for the whole night. Then, I murdered someone and used the victim's blood to stain his clothes with blood. When he woke up, he thought he had killed someone, due to the effects of the drugs. Although you guys became cautious at times, it wasn't hard for me to kill. Actually, I wanted to destroy Dr. Robert's life, which is why I decided to frame him. I played a game with you all. Actually, the killers called Grim Reaper and Another Killer are me! Yes, I am the one who killed all those people without mercy! I am the killing machine!
(Jebi) - Sorry to interrupt, but I found it impressive that you were able to kill so many people in a day!
(John) - Now, if I continue with my plan, I decided to leave letters after each killing so that you all would try to decipher false information and I could frame Dr. Robert. When you attempted to deceive me with the fake letter, I knew at that moment that you were trying to catch me. But you know, I wanted to play along with you longer. However, I didn’t anticipate your two-layer strategy. You manipulated the newspaper's timing to meet in order to catch me, right? While this might have been wrong, considering I live in the same area as Robert, it was obvious that I would buy a newspaper from the same area. Your strategy also contributed to our game ending too quickly, as you raided Robert's house and eventually found out everything. This was my plan to deceive you!
(Jebi) - My turn now! Well, you already know about the location strategy. Now, how did I know that there was no second personality of Robert? That must be your question. After we caught Robert, he told us his story. By listening to his story, it was clear to me that Robert wasn't the killer. In his story, Robert mentioned that he installed a smart lock on his door to stop his second personality. After this smart lock was installed, the door could only be opened with a password. If he had another personality, there would be no way for his alter ego to know what the password was. This is a well-known fact among psychologists. But he could lie, right? No, a psychologist like Robert wouldn't lie about such an obvious fact, especially when I was observing him. If he was lying, I could catch him. So, how did the alter ego know what the password set by Robert was? The answer is only if someone was spying on Robert! That's how I knew that Robert wasn't the killer. After that, I devised a strategy. Since I knew that the killer was spying on Robert, there had to be some sort of evidence in Robert's house. That's why I helped Robert escape and told him to tell the FBI that he is innocent and he will prove it. This way, you all would think that there's a possibility that you might have left something in his house. That's how I lured you here!
(John) - I understand everything now! So, what do you want from me? You don't want to hand me over to the police, right? Because if you did, you would have come here with the police force!
(Jebi) - Oh, um, actually, I called the FBI agents when you entered the house. Since you have a gun, that's why I let you believe that I didn't have any intention of handing you over to the police.
John instantly tries to pull the gun from his waist, but Emu and his team enter the house and take John at gunpoint!
(Jebi) - Now, you are totally finished. Oh, Emu, I forgot to tell you, but the gun I gave to Robert has a GPS tracker on it. So, it will be easy to find him!
