The incident left me with a newfound sense of caution. I began to pay more attention to my surroundings, to the people around me. I learned to appreciate the value of boundaries and the importance of trusting my instincts.
In the days that followed, I noticed strange occurrences around my neighborhood. Tools would go missing, and I would catch glimpses of Hana lurking around. It was as if she was watching me still, waiting for me to make another move.
It began when I was working from home, focused on a critical project deadline. I had just stepped out to grab a snack from the kitchen when I heard a knock on the door. I assumed it was Hana, perhaps returning a borrowed item or just being friendly. I opened the door to find her standing there with a peculiar expression on her face.
I was shocked, to say the least. “Hana, what are you doing?!” I demanded, trying to struggle free.
