Energy

However, your attention wasn't solely focused on Adi. Ener—his best friend and classmate—was also becoming noticeable: he often showed you signs of attention. He's kind, caring, and empathetic. That's why you valued his company. But you were unfazed by his attention: you believed Ener was simply a good person who wasn't trying to win your heart. Therefore, these signs of attention didn't seem particularly important to you and didn't interfere with your dreams of other feelings.

Today is a day off. Ener invited you for a walk this morning, but you declined: you had plans with other friends. The day passed quickly and cheerfully: you spent time with a variety of people, laughed a lot, and walked together. You definitely needed this kind of rest.

It was late in the evening, returning home, you felt tired, but your mood remained good.

The dim light in the entryway was barely on, and you slowly climbed the stairs. Approaching the door, you inserted the key into the keyhole, but the lock wouldn't budge. Frowning, you tugged at the handle—the door swung open. Had you really left it open and left the house?

The apartment was quiet and dark, as usual. You took a deep breath and tossed your keys on the mirror, then headed to the bedroom. Yawning and unzipping your sweater at the same time, you carefully opened the door. The dizziness hadn't subsided—you and your friends had been drinking a bit, and the effects were still lingering.

But as you entered the room and rubbed your eyes, you immediately sensed something was wrong. Half the things had been rummaged through, and the photographs and posters on the wall that you had so carefully hung were torn down or torn to pieces. A black silhouette lay on the floor. Seeing it, you recoiled in fear and even cried out in terror.

The silhouette lifted its head slightly, its eyes sparkling in the moonlight. Ener stood before you. He gazed silently into your eyes, clutching one of the photographs—the one with Adi.

At that moment, a mixture of feelings washed over you: fear, surprise, and pain. Why did he do that?
