Side Story: Scared

All day today, Heinrich had tried to reach Penelope.

He texted her and tried to call her, but nothing went through. As the next course of action, he tried to call her friends. First Arai, but no answer either. And then he called Miriam, but she was busy with a family event.

Heinrich decided to just drive home the moment his work was done, and he did. But that afternoon, in front of Penelope's house, he found himself being locked out of the door.

He rang the doorbell.

Nothing.

He tried calling her.

Nothing.

Bad feelings started to get into his head as he finally came to the last resort.

He called Harriet.

Why was she the last resort?

Well, Heinrich felt like he had already owed Harriet too much, and Harriet scared him sometimes. If he somehow hurt Penelope without realizing it, Harriet would be the first one to force him to bite the dust.
