{Second Person's PoV:}

As you got home, you immediately plopped down on your bed, leaving all your groceries on the living room.

Not long after, you felt yourself dozing off. And you just gave in.

〜＊〜

It's already 9:00 PM and you just woke up. You slowly stood up from your bed while rubbing your right eye. You're still feeling groggy after that long nap.

"...Boy, how long was I out?" You asked yourself as you searched for a nearby clock.

"5 hours? Geez. Now I'm going to have troubles sleeping back..." You mentally groaned. You then head to the kitchen to make yourself some late dinner.

You unpacked all your groceries and put them on their respective places. As for the cleaning utensils, you just put them beside your front door to remind you that you have to clean the exterior of your house tomorrow. And thinking about it made you shiver.

As you are eating, you suddenly remembered what happened earlier. Who were they? How did he read your thoughts? How did they escaped? Why is that weird boy talking to his phone? And how did they do 'that'?

These questions. These questions kept ringing inside your mind. You're actually just staring on the wall and your spoon is midway to your mouth. You are so engrossed with those questions that you didn't even noticed. You continued to eat your dinner. You took a bath and changed on your pajamas. You once again plopped down on your bed but it seems like you can't go back to sleep. What can you do to kill time?

Ah! Watch TV!

Yes, even though you're the only one living in your house, you still don't know why aren't you receiving any billing letters. I guess there's someone still helping and supporting you after your family despised you.

So you sat on the couch and made yourself comfortable as you opened the TV. Your face brightened up when you saw the movie being played is 'Standoff'. You actually liked the movie. It's all about sacrificing your life for a stranger that came barging inside your house asking for help because someone is trying to kill him. You liked every single part of it making you so fond of it.

You are so engrossed with it that you didn't even move from your comfortable position. The climax is about to come when suddenly the TV turned static. You blinked a few times trying to process what just happened. And after a while...

"What the heck?! That's the most awaited part!! Why did it have to-" You we're shouting and tossing the pillows on your couch when suddenly a voice from the TV interrupted you.

"Hello, (F/n)-chan!" A girl voice greeted you. You didn't turned to look at it because you're too shocked to do so.

"Um, (F/n)-chan. I'm here! Look at here!" The girl called out to you once again and this time you turned to it only to reveal a girl that's dressed in all blue that looks like a game character.

"W-who are you?" You asked.

"I'm Ene! And I'm just like you, (F/n)-chan!" She introduced happily.

"H-how'd you know my name...?" You asked in curiousity. In response, the cyber girl chuckled.

"As I said, I'm just like you!" She repeated.

"Like me...? What do you mean?" You asked in confusion as you tilted your head. Ene sighed.

"I have powers too. Don't you think I'll be talking to you right now if I'm a programmed character?" She said with a grin.

"You have a point. ...Wait- are you the one who saved us earlier?" You asked, tensing up a little.

"Mmm. Basically, yes! I just helped unlocking the blocked doors though. Hehe~" She said and giggled.

"Then... Why are you here?" You asked again.

"To come and get you!" Ene determinedly said.

"Get me...?" You asked in confusion once again.

"Yep! Get you to join our group! There are more people like us than you think!" Ene explained enthusiastically.

"I-I'm sorry but I have to decline... I don't know what are your motives and I don't like it." You declined sternly.

"But if--" You cut her off.

"Please. Just leave." You demanded and the blue-haired cyber girl sighed in defeat.

"Okay then. But we'll be back." With that, she's gone. The television turned into a black and white color, representing static. You blinked a few times before processing what happened.

Just seriously. Why are they so persistent? If you don't want to, why do they have to insist? Actually, this made you irritated. Irritation has taken over you that you don't even know that you're back in your room, sitting on your bed.

But then, being the careless person you are, you just shrugged it off.

〜＊〜

Next morning, you headed straight outside your house after finishing your morning routine. As you went outside, you again felt the touch of the sun on your skin, like little needles intending to enter your body. It's summer, after all.

You started cleaning the exterior of your house as you planned. Your neighbors started staring at you, surprised that there's still someone who lives in that seemingly abandoned house, but you payed them no mind.

After cleaning the walls, you grabbed the ladder and started cleaning the parts that you couldn't reach. And as you move from your side to side, the ladder started to wiggle. The ladder followed your side-way movements, causing it to lose balance, with you following.

You closed your eyes shut, waiting for the impact. But surprisingly, it didn't come. When you opened one of your eyes to peek, there's a shadow hovering you and you can feel someone's arms behind your back and the back of your knees. Meaning that someone had saved you from the fall.

"U-um..." You said, quite unsure to what to say. Suddenly, the shadow hovering you looked at you, seeing the clear face of the person.

"Wait... Is that..." You thought because of the familiarity that you felt towards the person.

"That's good~ I thought I didn't catch you. Are you alright?" He sighed in relief, worry painted on his voice.

"Y-yeah. T-thanks." You mumbled but good for him to hear. He grinned at you making tints of red appear on your face. He helped you stand properly as you dusted yourself off. When you looked at his face again, your guess was right. He is the one you saw on the mall yesterday!

"Wait- You're...!" Your eyes went wide at the realization you just got.

"Yep!" He grinned.

"What are you doing here?" You asked, your body in full alert. But instead of him answering it, a rather low, muffled voice took over.

"We're here to consider the offer again. We're the Mekakushi-Dan." She said nonchalantly, making your eyes grew wide than it is before.
