The Attic

I woke up after a bird twittered lightly outside. Feeling that my arms were empty.

I opened my eyes to realize that there was no doll in my arms.

I did not feel so surprised by this. I already imagined how Liam was'snatched' by someone anxiously last night and coupled up with the fact that before I went to sleep, I hugged Liam,. It was not so surprising that someone would be anxious.

Yawn~

I yawned as I stood up, ready to take a bath. Having to finally have a rest and even got to hug my favorite doll last night had me brimming with a lot of energy and a chance to give me time to review what was happening to my life.

"..."

The water runs down to my hair and then to my body as I become silent and fall into contemplation.

Ding!

Target Animosity Level: 101%

Do hard work, host!

That familiar mechanical voice, which I had ignored yesterday because I was really tired, echoed once again inside my head.

I furrowed my brows as, finally, after the day, I decided to open my mouth and talk.

But I should admit it.

I hated this system already after I was required to talk.

One should know that, as an introverted person, I do not really like talking very much.

But what should I do about this?

It seemed that this so-called system does not even care what I feel.

"...."

"Why am I sent here? Didn't I already click no to the binding?" I asked, very confused by this kind of thing.

The system was silent for a moment before having to quickly give a response, worthy of being called a system, I think.

"You clicked no, but you wanted to click yes; this system knows because I scanned your heart data."

"That was just a fluctuation of my heart; it does not mean that I wanted to click yes." I cut this system off.

The system wanted to say something further, but I blocked him and just continued showering.

Not noticing the shadow behind the curtains of the shower room that quietly left after I finished having to talk. Finally finishing showering. I dried my long hair with a dry towel and got out of the shower room with a robe covering my body that was naked and wet.

Even if there was nothing to see on it, as the body I was currently possessing was still a little girl,.

A little girl...

I stood up as the dry towel I used to dry my towel fell to the ground.

I slowly approached the human-sized mirror at the side of my room as I probed over at my appearance.

Finally having my full appearance in sight, I just want to collapse on the spot.

Why?

Why do I have to possess this little girl?

This ruthless little girl did not even live for just 3 chapters.

My head felt dizzy as I had the urge to vomit.

I am not one who will just not do the thing I needed to do after having to feel dizzy and wanting to vomit.

I go straight to the toilet and vomit whatever I can.

Maybe my vomiting was very loud, as I heard knocks outside.

But I did not pay any heed to this, as I knew my vomiting would be cut off if I paid a little bit of attention to them.

Finally, after having to vomit all of the food, the water, and even the saliva,.

I finally stopped vomiting as my door that was locked a while ago was unlocked and came in from the parents of the girl I currently resided with.

"Kate, are you okay? No, is everything okay with you?" Mom Hasie's worried tone and worried words echoed in the room as my dizzy head was still there.

Standing up, I saw Jane, the heroine, standing outside with a doll in her arms.

Liam...

There was no expression on my face as I looked at my mom and gestured towards the door.

This little girl, who got the same name as me, was not an introvert but still suffered from autism.

So she was not really fond of talking and just used gesturing as her way of communicating.

It also saves me a lot of trouble acting, as I really can't be chatty like that heroine, who, despite having to see his little sister suffer, still did not go in and comfort me.

But again and again,.

It was not so surprising.

Jane, who was a gentle and loving woman, stopped having to get involved with her little sister after her little sister repeatedly did some bad things to her porcelain doll.

There was no expression on my face as Dad closed the door.

My eyes were lowered after the faint smile on Liam's lips went down when the door was closed, as my dad also left the room, leaving me and my mom alone.

I was feeling guilty as I remembered those rules, but then it disappeared after my mom led me to the bed and dressed me up.

As an adult, mentally but physically, I was a kid. I did not feel anything when I was stripped naked by my mom and then got clothed in the dress I chose in advance.

Yes, it was a dress. A cute dress. After getting dressed up, my mom had my hair dolled up next.

A pigtail. Finally getting all dolled up.

I was ready to start the day.

I don't know, but maybe because I was back as a kid.

There was overflowing energy in my body.

Maybe this was the reason why 'Kate', the real Kate, always went for an adventure in the woods, despite her autism personality. My mom left me as I had first went to my cabinets and got my flashlight and vitamins.

'Kate' has problems with her heart, so she occasionally takes a vitamin every time her heart feels tight.

So I am going to bear this thing now.

If you were confused about why I am bringing a flashlight and a vitamin over. Well, it was because I was going to search the house and look for something. And by that something, you'll know it later.

Going out of my room. I heard a gasp. Tilting my head to the side, I looked at my dad, who had his hands covering his mouth, and stared at me wide-eyed.

He then approached me and gently touched my hair and chubby cheeks.

"My daughter is always so cute." Dad's voice slightly made me shiver. But I did not resist his touch, as I did not have permission to do so.

After all, he was my dad, and it was no surprise that this guy, who was normally serious, would be like this towards his daughter.

He was a fan of his daughter's cuteness.

And 'Kate', even if she suffered from autism and was quite ruthless toward animals, was still quite a cute kid after all. After having my cheeks ruined like that and the pigtail nearly ruined,.

I furrowed my brows but did not talk.

Dad went to his room to do his work as I saw my sister again, in her phone, probably calling her boyfriend and the doll in her right seat, having to face my sister while she calls.

It was such a beautiful scene, but that is, if I did not know the ending of this doll.

But the doll loved Jane, my current big sister, after all.

I don't have the right to interfere in Liam's life.

Sigh.

Then, if I cannot interfere with Liam's life,.

Then I could just have an adventure in the house.

Checking my flashlight and vitamins. I prepared myself to have an adventure inside this mansion. I turned around and left, never minding Liam and Jane's business.

So I unluckily did not see Liam turning his head again to look at me with that probing gaze.

I silently stared at the attic and then looked around to see if anyone was there, watching me.

I never wanted my adventure to just end because someone saw me adventuring.

"..."

Finally, I saw that there was no one.

I slowly went up to the attic and then patted my dress, which got stained with dust after I finally got inside.

The attic was very dusty. Very dirty, The urge to go down and take a shower want to take a toll inside my head, but I stopped myself in time.

Looking left and right, I was going to go to the side after something caught my attention when I suddenly saw the stairs I used to go up in this attic closed.

I already saw this in the movie, so I am not really that scared or surprised.

I was very calm as I proceeded to go to where my attention was caught.

I did not use my flashlight because it was morning and the light outside came inside, so I could see the surroundings very clearly.

My heart skipped a beat after I saw a familiar porcelain mask that belonged to an adult.

Don't tell me, I am going to see the adult Liam so soon?!
