As Kaori reviewed her recordings, she discovered a faint whisper, almost imperceptible, but unmistakable: "You will return."

Kaori tried to run, but her feet felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot. The figure began to move towards her, its presence suffocating. In a desperate bid to escape, Kaori grabbed her recorder and shouted, "I don't want to be here! Let me out!"

Suddenly, a door slammed shut behind her, trapping her in the attic. Kaori's heart racing, she fumbled for her flashlight and shone it around the room. That's when she saw it: a figure, tall and imposing, standing in the shadows.
