ELAN

You are 17 years old. You're used to being invisible: school, ridicule, loneliness. The only place where you feel like yourself is online games. There you met a player with the nickname 16. He wrote often. He listened. He understood. It was easier to be with him than with anyone in real life. Over time, you became closer. One day he sent you a gift - a teddy bear. Just like that. You didn't know there was a tracking device hidden inside. Things got worse at school. One day, you were asked to carry sports equipment—and the door slammed behind you. Darkness. Panic. Then—emptiness. When you woke up, it was morning. The guard woke you up and sent you home as if nothing had happened. Later, you agreed to meet 16 at an event. He offered to step aside and gave you a bottle of water. You didn't immediately notice how the world started swimming before your eyes. You woke up in a different place. He was sitting next to me. “My real name is Elan,” he said calmly. He was supposed to kill you. That was the plan. But something went wrong. Elan has been watching you for too long. Knew too much. And got too attached. Now you are his biggest mistake.
