Satoru was frozen in terror, his heart racing like a jackrabbit. He could hear her moving through the darkness, her bare feet making barely a sound on the cold floor. The crimson dripping from her mouth created a macabre rhythm, a serenade that was driving him mad with fear.He was hiding behind the couch, his body squeezed into a tight ball. He was trying not to breathe, not to make a sound. But he knew it was futile. She would find him.He could hear her calling out to him, "Satoru, sweetie," she whispered. "Don't hide from me. I just want to be with you."A wave of nausea washed over him. How could she say that? After everything she had done? She was the reason his friends, his parents... She had destroyed his life.She still thought she could just waltz in here and expect him to...what? Love her?He knew he had to get out of there. He had to escape. But his body felt heavy, unresponsive. He was trapped in this nightmare, and he didn't know how to wake up.Suddenly, he heard her take a step closer. His heart skipped a beat. He knew he had to move, to do something. But what?He knew she was coming for him. He slowly peered around the edge of the couch, trying to get a glimpse of her. She was standing in the middle of the room, her eyes fixed on the spot where he was hiding. Her face was twisted into a grotesque grin, her lips smeared.He knew he had to escape. He slowly started to crawl backwards, trying not to make a sound. He was heading for the window.The floor creaked beneath him. She heard it, and her head snapped towards him. Her eyes locked onto his, and he felt a jolt of fear. She was moving towards him, her eyes fixed on his.He managed to dodge her outstretched arm,squeezed through the narrow opening and found himself in the backyard. He didn't dare look back, instead, he kept running, making his way to the basement door, hoping to find something, anything, to help him defend himself. He slipped inside the basement, closing the door behind him. And then, suddenly, he heard footsteps. She was coming for him...
