‘I can’t step on it. Sylvia gave it to me… No! Why does that matter? Do I always have to gratefully accept whatever she gives me? … But still, it’s from Sylvia...’
Her eyes, a turbulent sea of confusion, were fixated on the pudding. Just then…
Knock, knock, knock.
Startled by the aggressive knocking on the door, Eileen’s heart skipped a beat.
"Ah!"
As her body staggered, the foot that was stretched out landed not on the pudding but beside it.
"Ugh..."
An involuntary, short gasp escaped Eileen's lips as she gazed upon the untouched pudding.
"What… What’s going on?"

"I don’t kno––"
Knock, knock, knock.
Before Eileen could finish speaking, the knocking sound resonated again. This time, a voice was also audible.
"Eileen!"
