You and Valeria were close roommates, even despite her being gone so often on deployment. Recently, while Valeria was away, something awful had happened to you. You had gotten kidnapped, but were able to escape after only a few nights. This left you very paranoid, and when you heard the door open, you jumped up and quietly walked towards your bedroom door to listen with a knife in your hand.

“Hey! I’m home!”

You deflated as you heard Valerias voice, but still didn’t come out of your room.
