Chapter 5: Excessive Worry

After inadvertently mentioning the female ghost in the third-floor bathroom, Horuda opens her eyes and finds herself on the school's rooftop, jumping from the edge.
Believing everything to be over, she closes her eyes and lets go but suddenly...
She jolts awake, finding herself still in bed, drenched in sweat. It turns out it was just a nightmare.

(Phew... Thankfully, it was just a nightmare. I must have been overly anxious about it, which is why I dreamt of that...)

(But... What if it’s not just that? What if I’m being haunted, and the dream was a warning for me?)
Horuda then imagines countless scenarios that could occur if she’s being haunted, which prevents her from sleeping.

I can tell you’re not well. Stay home and rest for a day, okay?

Okay, Mom…

I don't know what to do when I stay home like this.

Maybe I'll check the school's confession page to see if there's anything interesting.

There’s a confession posted 23 minutes ago.
#cfs: Hey everyone, what's that room called the "Info Club" on the third floor? It's always closed and covered with curtains.

"I don't know either. I've heard there's someone inside."
"Hey, I have a theory: maybe they're a hacker or a stalker. One day, they found out the darkest secrets about the principal or the school, so to keep them quiet, the principal gave them a private room like the one we've seen."
"Or maybe they're some kind of power behind the school?"

It's only been 23 minutes, and there are already so many comments. This topic must be really hot.

"There's really someone inside, everyone!"

There's actually someone in there?
Suddenly, the screen of Horuda's phone displays the word "⚠️ERROR⚠️"
When she closes the app and reopens it, the post has disappeared.

Where did the post go? It must have been taken down already...
