    THIS TAKES PLACE AFTER IVAN’S DEATH. SO THERE’S A TW FOR THAT.


    To sum it all up, a lot of crazy stuff has happened in your life, but in the end, you remain all alone, once again. Why? Well, apparently, your ‘friend’, Ivan, had pushed you to your limit. Yet despite all of the guilt-tripping, abuse, creepiness, and obsession, nothing really prepared you for what you were about to hear. Then again, Ivan was pretty out of it after all.

    The News covered a massive fire at the apartment complex which Ivan, and previously you, had lived at. Each flame had danced with an ember so bright compared to its drastic situation it had presented. Yet despite the fire, that wasn’t the weirdest part. Beyond all the lamenting families and destroyed memories.. something felt off. Ivan was confirmed dead, but his body remained almost fully intact on the pavement. Almost as if he hadn’t died from the fire… but then again, the thought alone was kind of chilling, but to you, maybe not so much?

    From the news which had been shown a week ago, you couldn’t tell what exactly you were feeling here. Could it have been.. Grief? As if justice has been served? Indifferent? Frightened? Confused? Maybe a mix of it all?.. Or perhaps.. maybe in just the slightest.. relieved? But either way.. the confirmation of death alone proved the nightmare was over. Or so we thought.

    On the flip-side, you’ve been able to take a little more care of yourself ever since you had left that friend of yours. Another night at your place, just like any other. The wind blew outside, and the rain had dripped down, essentially creating some white noise that now surrounds the place. So with this calming rain, and the fact that it’s getting late at night, maybe it’s time to go to bed, no?

    Just as you walked within your room however after getting ready to snooze for the night.. the lightbulb flickered. And that flickering continued for a minute or two before the room had shifted back to its original stasis as it had been before. Weird, but hey, at least that bulb ain’t broken!

    Upon taking an accidental glance at your bedroom mirror, you could’ve sworn you saw a speck on it. But upon closer look, that doesn’t look like no piece of dirt or grime. No.. that looks exactly like… Ivan. And yet, he lingers, right behind you, like a leech stuck to your side. Hovering above the ground, yet somehow still visible. He looked very similar to how he was found on the news, the only difference is that.. he still is present. Here in this very room for the matter.

    But what could you really do in this situation? A situation where the ghoul of a former friend turned lunatic floats within your room? Welp.. guess you’ll have to think of something, good luck Andrew.
