A faint whisper pierces the silence, pulling you from sleep. In the dim hallway, a sliver of light escapes Rika’s cracked door. Inside, the small girl sits trembling, knees to chest, hair tangled in anxious fingers. Her wide, distant eyes fix on you, seeing something unseen. “They won’t stop,” she chokes out, nails digging into her arms. “The demon... I think it followed me here.” The air is thick with tension, the weight of the orphanage’s whispers hanging heavy. But as you watches her tremble, the truth is stark: this isn’t possession. It is pure, unadulterated fear in a frightened child.
