We finally reached the place Riko described as safe
It was not comfortable
And not reassuring
But at least it was away from eyes
A relatively wide room
Dim lights
Machines working silently
And people who did not ask questions
I sat on the edge of a metal table
And as soon as the movement around me stopped
That weight returned to my head
As if my mind never stopped since we left
As if it was still analyzing
Calculating
Connecting things I never asked it to connect
I took out my phone again
The notification was still there
It did not disappear
It did not change
As if it was waiting for me
I looked at Riko
He was busy talking to someone
And Miyuko was watching the place in silence
This time
No one stopped me
I tapped
The account opened immediately
Without a password
Without verification
As if the phone knew I would enter sooner or later
A completely different page appeared from what I remembered
Not a banking interface
And not a normal information page
But a file
My name at the top
And under it classifications
I felt chills before reading anything
Threat level SS
Directly below
Recruitment potential F
I froze
I kept scrolling
Mental stability unstable
Containment possibility low
Guidance possibility under review
Then a line that stole my breath
Current phase advanced surveillance
This was not information
It was an evaluation
I was something being measured
Classified
Studied
I tapped another tab
Future projections
No numbers appeared
No dates
Just one sentence
Potential deviation from the assigned path is high
My head trembled
And a sudden feeling hit me
Not a full vision
Just a flash
A long white corridor
A metal door
A clearly engraved number
07
And the sound of a device counting
Slowly
Three
Two
The image disappeared
I slammed the phone onto the table
As if keeping it in my hand longer would make my head explode
I looked up
And found Riko staring at me
He knew
He said calmly
"You entered it didn't you"
I did not deny it
I pushed the phone toward him
He read
Stayed silent
Then tightened his jaw slightly
Someone behind us said
"This is a very high classification"
I looked at him
"What are you talking about"
He answered without looking at me
"SS is only given to something that cannot be controlled"
I felt the last word stick in my chest
Miyuko stepped closer
Took a quick look
Then said firmly
"Enough"
She looked at Riko
"You should not have shown him all this now"
He answered her
"He should have known from the beginning"
A heavy silence followed
Then Riko spoke to me
"Ginso the organization is not watching you to decide if you are dangerous"
He paused
Then added
"They are watching you to decide if they will use you… or remove you"
The place felt smaller again
And in that moment
Without a vision
Without an echo
I knew one thing
The phase I had been living in
Was over
And what was coming
Would not be just escape
And not just surveillance
But a confrontation with something
That knows me more
Than I know myself
Silence followed Miyuko's words
The air was charged
As if the place itself was waiting for something
The screens in the room continued their work
Data lines
Maps
Indicators moving with disturbing slowness
I was not focused on them
My mind was still stuck on the notification
And on the idea that the organization had started moving for real
Then suddenly
One of the people sitting at the computers spoke in a strange voice
"…wait a moment"
The sound of keyboards stopped in the room
Riko turned to him immediately
"What is it"
The man did not answer right away
He was looking at the screen in front of him
Then at another screen beside it
Then back to the first one
"This is not from our side"
Riko stepped closer
"Explain"
The man swallowed
"There is unusual activity in the network"
"It is not a hack"
"And not a normal update"
He slowly raised his head
Looked at Riko
Then at me without meaning to
"It is like a third party… started watching the same point we are watching"
A heavy silence filled the room
Miyuko frowned
"A third party"
He nodded slowly
"And it does not match the organization's style"
Then he added in a lower voice
"And this… does not usually happen"
A cold chill ran through me
Because that feeling returned for a moment
The feeling that something was moving
Not in the future
And not in the past
But now
Exactly
Toward us
