""That's... w... what?"
My mind went blank at the sight of the notification. I had no idea how to react, completely thrown off by it. How...? When? Why...?
"H-how is this possible?"
Why was I suddenly haunted? From who...?
Ba... Thump! Ba... Thump!
My heart suddenly raced for no clear reason. The air grew heavy, almost suffocating, as a cold chill swept through the room.
It was the entity itself, announcing with the very change in the atmosphere, that it was coming for me.
'It has to be my imagination.'
I thought it was.
But—
"Hmm."
Noticing the sudden shift in the Conductor's expression as it scanned the room, the sinking feeling in my chest only deepened. Then its gaze fixed on me, and its lips parted with a slow rip, releasing a voice weighted with an unfamiliar seriousness.
"What sort of sinister presence did you provoke?"
The Conductor lifted its arm, revealing its hand. Slowly, its lips curved into an amused smile as its gaze settled on me.
