Elina, weary to the bone, was on the verge of embracing the solace of her room when the unexpected sound of the door being locked from the inside froze her in her tracks.

The muffled noises that leaked through the threshold—moans of distress and harsh whispers—sent a shiver down her spine.

"Ahn~"

"L-Leave me alone, I am tired already!"

"Shut up!"

"Ugh!"

The familiarity of the voices tangled in an inexplicable scenario was unmistakable to Elina, and the realization that they emanated from within her sanctuary turned her blood cold.
