* Theo unlocks the door. Everything seems normal.
But Élise’s phone is lying on the floor, screen cracked.
The display is flickering… and Still Typing. *
[Camera feed from hallway]
(From a device left behind)
📹 Grainy static… then a flash of something dark moving fast across the room. It pauses in front of the mirror. No reflection.
Chat with Theo’s friend, Soren (tech geek)
Theo Delacroix
Bro. I found her phone. It typed by itself.
Soren Sarin
That’s some straight-up horror movie stuff. Send me her phone’s drive.
Soren Sarin
Wait... dude… there’s a hidden file in the memory. It’s not a video.
Soren Sarin
It’s a program. Called Élise.exe.
[10:17 AM – Chat between Theo & Soren]
Soren Sarin
I booted it up in a sandbox. Safe mode. No internet.
Theo Delacroix
You opened Élise.exe?
Soren Sarin
Yeah. But it didn’t run.
Soren Sarin
It… connected to something.
[Screen share: “LIVE FEED – Unknown Source”]
Soren Sarin
Bro… it’s a camera feed.
Theo Delacroix
From where??
Soren Sarin
I don’t know yet. But look...
A dimly lit space. Like inside a wall. Cramped. No sound.
A single eye slowly blinks. The camera feed starts glitching.
A faint whisper, digital and broken:
“T̴h̷e̸o̶... h̵e̴l̷p̶ m̷e̸...”
Theo Delacroix
That’s her. THAT’S ÉLISE!
Soren Sarin
No man… no it isn’t.
Theo Delacroix
What are you saying??
Soren Sarin
Look at the reflection.
Soren Sarin
It’s recording us from this side. Not the other way around.
