Niko walks slowly up to the bathroom. She slowly turns the door handle and then throws open the door. The mirror is cracked. And in blood the words are written on the wall saying
"Í̵̘̪̓͠͝'̵͓̬͉͙̏͝m̴̦̥̯͐̈ ̷̖̺͐c̸̫̥̬̑̑̾ǭ̶̟̙̼̎̀̓m̸̯̐̉͘͠ī̶̼n̵̢̪̋̊̇̕g̵͔̘̗̩͐ ̵̢̢̼͉̊͐̔h̴͇͍͙̭̏̃͘ò̶̺m̶͚͂͗̌ḝ̶̦̬̄͋͝ ̶̝̩͊̇̈́N̶͇̰͇̟͛̉ĭ̴̢̥̭̀̍͒ͅk̴̦͍̻̗̐͝ö̸̙́̒" (I'm coming home Niko). Niko was distressed from this and when she heard Deekin walking up to also see what was going on she panicked. She HAD to remain in control. Niko locked herself in and began cleaning.
DDDeekin: Niko? Did you lock the door?
Niko: Yeah.... I am using it right now.
DDDeekin: I heard something just like you. What happened?
Niko: Oh... Nothing! Nothing is wrong! Something got loose and fell.
DDDeekin: Oh? Let me help.
Niko: N-no... Um..... It was the mirror... It fell over and now I'm cleaning it up. I'm cleaning up!
DDDeekin: Ok. Just let me know Niko if I can help you.
Niko: I will!
Deekin leaves and Niko starts to clean the bathroom. When she gets done she heads back downstairs when she hears a knocking in the attic.
Niko: Please.... For once let it be that annoying rat that we could never catch........
Niko heads to the attic and she looks around but doesn't see anything. She then hears the knocking again. It's coming from the attic window. She goes to it. It is fogged up and she just barely saw a dark figure move away. The words on the window are clear. "Stay strong". normally that would be a very weird thing to write if the goal was to scare someone but Niko knew what those words meant. She used those same words to the reflection before walking away leaving her reflection to suffer alone.
Niko: S-stay strong?! Why are you doing this?!
DDDeekin from below: Niko my dear is something wrong?
Niko: No.... Everything is fine..... I just got spooked while cleaning the attic....
DDDeekin: Oh! So that is why you are telling yourself to be strong! I see! Wow you are in the cleaning mood today!
Niko: Heh... I try to stay active.
Niko's thoughts: Damn it Shawn.... Why aren't you coming back? I'm scared. Fine. I'll call.
Niko calls Shawn but gets an error. She tries again and again and again. Same result. She tried calling Coal. No answer. She called Ruby. No answer. She calls everyone. No answer. Niko is scared now. She couldn't call anyone. It was just her, Deekin, and something that used to be her. Soon enough it Niko had lunch. A sandwich with a kitchen knife stabbing it.
Niko: Heh.... Deekin.. why do you do this?
DDDeekin: Huh? Did I do that? Hehe So that's where I left the knife!
Niko stayed by Deekin's side for the rest of the day until lunch where she had to use the restroom right before he served it. The lights went out in the bathroom and Niko struggled to light a candle. The moment she did she saw her reflection in the mirror she froze. She saw that a monsterous form is behind her. Niko then knew it was a mistake to light the candle. she blows it out just in time. The lights come back and there was a shallow claw mark on the wall just a few inches from Niko's face.
