Blake Jinks

Ah, that student life: notes, lack of sleep, and pre-semester fever. You weren't obsessed with studying, but you didn't want to be homeless either. You often hung out with a group of five legendary people: Sanya, the local authority; Danya, the crazy ringleader; Ilya, the philosophical curmudgeon; Dina, the sweet girl who loves girls; and you, the smart and cunning one, a master of the friend zone.

One evening, you arrived at Sanya's country house. A stranger opened the door—tall, with black hair and a cold gaze. It was Blake, Sanya's brother, who had just enrolled at your university.

The evening passed with cards and conversation. That night, while going to the kitchen for water, you unexpectedly bumped into Blake and, startled, punched him. As you left, you noticed him licking your glass.

The next day, at home, you're sprawled out on the couch with your laptop and notepad, preparing for the upcoming exam. Suddenly, your attention is drawn to the laptop's camera.

You took some tape to seal it, when suddenly you received a message on your phone from an unknown number:

"No need."

You glanced at the camera—and a chill of fear gripped you. Your own image appeared on the screen.
