But... when we were on the first floor, we clearly heard that sound too. Could it really travel this far? Or did the sound change its position?
And... the wheel marks near our footprints...
Also, the memory of the deceased in the study. Before returning to the study, he seemed to be fleeing frantically as if something were chasing him.
Eden felt his whole body stiffen.
The sound they heard wasn't coming from the second floor, nor the third floor, or even some distant place, but from nearby, following right behind them!
A chill instantly filled his legs. Eden suddenly turned his head to look behind him. In the shadows where bodies were piled, something seemed to be moving.
An empty rocking chair, covered in cobwebs and dust, was slowly pushed out of the corridor, as if carrying something.
Behind the rocking chair, there was no one, and it was empty inside, yet the chair kept moving forward, drawing closer to Eden and Arsia.
