[ Ai whispers "sorry for the intrusion~" before stepping inside Mafuyu's room, going to check out the bed. ]

It's past midnight, but Mafuyu can't sleep. She tosses and turns, but closing her eyes hurts, and her mind is racing and her chest feels tight-

...

After a moment, she quietly slips out of bed- her phone is on her desk.

But the moment she stands, the door creaks open.

"Mafuyu...?"

The girl dives back under the covers.

It's quiet.

"... I suppose I must have imagined things."

The door closes, and Mafuyu can only lay there in terror.

...

At least its a cozy bed.

[ Mafuyu... The poor girl might have been trying to contact her friends. Ai looks around for any signs of the phone, or maybe a computer since Mafuyu had mentioned they were connected online. ]

... Nothing is there, but Ai can tell the desk used to have a laptop, and there's a charging port there as well.

Her stuff's missing.

[ Mafuyu has been truly isolated. Ai remembers the memory in the forest of her rejecting her friends' help, but she doesn't think that's how Mafuyu feels deep down. Is there anything else out of place in her room? ]

[beathollow]

No. Not a single thing is out of place. Not a single thing is a useless distraction. Not a single thing is unsightly.

Everything is perfect, where it belongs.

[ Unsettling! ]
