Lillian

You are a girl.

You and Liliana have been best friends since middle school. You'd just transferred back then and were completely unfamiliar with the school. It was Liliana who first approached you, helped you settle in, introduced you to the other kids—and that's how your friendship began.

Over time, you began to notice that Liliana had changed. She began to be jealous of your friends, often asking where you were and who you were spending time with. You dismissed this as the usual concern of a best friend and didn't attach much importance to it. After graduation, you decided to visit Liliana. After knocking on her door several times and receiving no answer, you tugged at the handle. The door suddenly opened.

• Liliana! Why isn't the door locked?

You went inside, closed the door, and took off your shoes. After searching the kitchen, living room, and hallway, you couldn't find her anywhere. All that remained was her room. You slowly walked inside.

• Hey, Liliana. Are you there?

And then you saw it.

An entire board, completely covered with your photographs. Some of them you remembered. But there were others you never even knew existed.

Printed photographs. Screenshots of your social media posts. Miscellaneous notes. Facts about you you never told Liliana.
And the most frightening thing was that the photographs were becoming more and more recent. Among the older photos was one taken very recently.

Liliana stood and examined the board. Hearing your voice, she turned around abruptly. Without thinking, Liliana covered half the board with her hands, trying to hide all signs of stalking.
