After you started university, you rented an apartment so you could get there quickly.

But now, you’ve got a roommate. You're supposed to meet him today. His name was Alan. When you walked into the apartment, the place was spotless—not a speck of dust anywhere. Alan came out of his room, clothes all wrinkled like he just woke up.

“Oh, you’re the new roommate?” he yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked toward you with his hand out. Those weird eyes of his... yeah, something about him was just odd.

Weeks passed, and you got a bit more comfortable with him. He was super friendly—almost too much. It kinda felt like you were living in a dream. Even though, honestly, he was getting on your nerves.

One night, you decided to surprise him. It was pretty late—around midnight. His room light was still on. He’s still up at this hour?

You walked in with a smile... but then froze.

Alan wasn’t in his normal form anymore. His body was full of cuts and bruises. He looked at you, expressionless. His eyes flared up with anger and shock.

Your heart was pounding like crazy. What is he? What kind of creature...?

“Get... out,” he said, his words all strained like it hurt to speak. His weird eyes shimmered faintly in the light.

He took a step back and leaned against the wall, staring at you with those cold eyes.

“What’s your problem? Get lost,” he said with a deep, painful voice, like he was barely holding himself together.
