📱 Chapter 2: “The Night We Never Spoke Of”
🥀✨══════════⛓
Your phone buzzes softly. This time, three short vibrations, like timid knocks.
The room is still dark, moonlight spilling thin stripes across your sheets 🌙.
You reach for your phone, heart hammering.
UNKNOWN
You remembered the rain, didn’t you? 🌧️
YOU
Who is this? I told you to stop.
UNKNOWN
Stop? Stop what, my darling? Remembering me? Or forgetting me? 🥀
A shiver runs down your spine. The words feel… personal.
Almost intimate.
UNKNOWN
I saw you under the streetlight. You didn’t notice me. But I noticed everything.✨🌙
YOU
I don’t know you. This isn’t funny.
UNKNOWN
Funny? Oh no… I don’t do funny.
I remember your hands tracing the bookstore window… the night you never spoke of. 📚💧
Your stomach twists. That place… the old bookstore your parents took you to, where you once touched the glass and whispered a wish, but no one was there.
UNKNOWN
You whispered my name in the frost that night. Remember? ❄️
YOU
I… I don’t remember that.
UNKNOWN
Of course you don’t.
I remembered for both of us. 🕯️
A gallery notification pops up unprompted.
You open it.
A new photo: your own silhouette pressed against the foggy window at the bookstore… but it’s not from that night. It’s tonight.
UNKNOWN
Someone who always watches. Someone who never sleeps.
You never saw me, but I saw you. 👀
Your phone screen flickers faintly. You blink. For a moment, the photo moves—just slightly, like a living shadow.
UNKNOWN
You remember the swing set too, don’t you? The silver lighter you left behind. 🎠💨
YOU
This is insane. How do you know…
UNKNOWN
I was there. I was always there. 🥀
I wanted to tell you… I wanted to say goodbye…
The words feel like a whisper brushing your neck, though you’re alone.
UNKNOWN
The night smelled of rain and iron. You smelled of lavender. Do you remember? 🌧️💐
YOU
You sound like… like someone I used to know.
UNKNOWN
I am the memory you forgot.
A second gallery photo appears—this time a crumpled letter on your desk, handwriting that seems eerily familiar.
You don’t remember writing it.
UNKNOWN
You wrote it for me… but never sent it. ✉️
YOU
I don’t… this is wrong.
UNKNOWN
Wrong? Or perfect? You left it waiting, just like you left me waiting. 💧
A chill runs through the room.
You glance at your clock. 3:22 a.m.
UNKNOWN
Do you remember the smell of the rain that night? Or the way the streetlight kissed your hair? 🌙💦
YOU
Stop. Who are you? Why are you doing this?
UNKNOWN
Because you are mine to remember. 🥀
Even when you forget.
The phone screen flickers again.
Another photo pops up: your bedroom window. Outside… a figure stands, distant, motionless.
UNKNOWN
You looked at me once, but you didn’t see me. That was enough. 🌑
YOU
I’m calling the police.
UNKNOWN
You can call anyone you like. But they won’t see what I see.
I’ve always been closer than anyone can imagine. 🕷️✨
Your breath catches. You notice the reflection in the black screen—your own face, pale, wide-eyed.
But for a moment… the reflection smiles back.
UNKNOWN
I liked your smile. Even in fear, it’s beautiful. 💞💧
You swallow hard.
It’s no longer playful. No longer a human ghost, yet the words still feel heartbreakingly human.
Almost… loving.
UNKNOWN
The night we never spoke of… we are speaking of it now.
Do you remember me, love? 🌹
The phone screen flickers violently.
For one second, your bedroom seems… different.
Shadows stretch across the walls unnaturally.
UNKNOWN
Sleep now. I will be here when you wak🥀🌙
Your phone goes dark. The gallery photo remains—the silhouette at the window… just a shadow.
But you can’t stop staring.
🕯️ End of Chapter 2 🕯️

I'm pretty sure he's not a human /Proud/ is there magic in this world? That would be so cool. If you can, make a Chapter in the future where we meet him at a store but we don't know it's him and something interesting happens~
