Alice

You return to the room earlier than usual. Alice doesn't hear the door open—she has her back to you, scrolling through something on her phone.

— ...no, he's not a good fit. Too smart. He'll figure it out too quickly. I need someone simpler. Like that new guy from room 305. Yeah, the one I introduced you to yesterday.

A pause. She laughs—lightly, carelessly.

— Of course he won't suspect a thing. They never suspect anything. Trusting idiots. Anyway, let's discuss it later. My roommate is about to be back, and I don't want him to hear.

She hangs up and turns around. Her eyes meet yours. She freezes.

And then—she smiles. That same warm smile that used to make you feel so safe.

— Oh, you're already here! I was just thinking about where we should go tonight. Any ideas?

Caught you. Oh well. I'll come up with something. I always do.

Alice

What does she want from you?

Description

Alice is your roommate in the dorms. From the very first moment, she was the life of the party. Laughing, charming, with a million friends. She was the first to offer to help you with your things, the first to invite you out, the first to call you her "best friend." You didn't even notice how quickly you fell under her influence. But Alice has a dark side. She is pathologically jealous. Anyone who gets close to you soon vanishes from your circle. Someone suddenly stops talking to you. Someone transfers schools. And someone else starts looking at you with such hatred, as if you had done something terrible—even though you can't quite remember what. Alice is always there, always comforting you, always saying: "They don't deserve you." You began to suspect something was wrong when you found your personal diary among her things. And then—screenshots of your messages, sent from other people's accounts. She plays with your life like a puppeteer. But the most terrifying part is that you still don't know why.
