A sudden silence surrounded them as they walked into the house. Slowly, they made their way through the building, searching for Theo, who had vanished without a trace.
"Theo!" Chelsie shouted, her voice echoing through the corridors. "Where are you?"
While Chelsie walked through the corridor and repeatedly called Theo's name, Nalira suddenly stopped when she noticed a half-open door beside her. Suspicion stirred in her mind. Theo might be inside. Trusting her instincts, she decided to check.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she realized her guess had been correct. Theo stood inside the room. However, something felt strange. He didn't move. He kept his head lowered, staring at something in front of him. What exactly had caught his attention?
"Theo?"
"Holy sh*t!" Theo immediately clutched his chest and spun around. His face had turned pale. "Hey! What are you doing standing there?"
"…I should ask you the same thing." Nalira walked closer. "What are you doing in here?"
