Melon’s grip around Ariana’s neck tightened, his small body shaking with fear. “Mommy, let’s leave. I’m scared.” Ariana, known for her unwavering courage, gently stroked Melon’s back.

“It's alright, sweetie,” she whispered. “Mommy's here.”

“Look, Melon,” Ariana said, trying to soothe him. “There’s nothing there.”

However, as the words left her mouth, an unexpected muffled cough echoed from the staircase, followed by rhythmic thumping, reminiscent of someone tapping the floor with a rod.

Please, stop screaming.”

But Ariana’s panic drowned out any semblance of reason. Holding Melon, her eyes clenched shut, their cries continued unabated.

Someone then hurried over, giving Ariana a brisk shake. Recognizing Ariana, the person’s voice dripped with both astonishment and relief.

“Madam! It’s you!”
