In the dimly lit apartment, YN sits with Dr. Thorn and Dr. Harper, discussing the latest developments. YN's phone buzzes with a message from an unknown number. She reads it, her face draining of color.

YN: "Oh my God... it's planning something terrible."

Dr. Harper: "What is it, YN?"

YN: "The shadow. It just sent me a message. It's planning a murder."

Dr. Thorn: "Who is it targeting?"

YN: (shaking) "It didn't say. Just that it's going to happen tonight. We have to stop it."

YN and Jimin, despite their strained relationship, race to the police station to inform Detective Parker and Detective Reyes. The tension is palpable as they burst into the station.

YN: "Detective Parker, Detective Reyes, you have to listen to me. The shadow is planning to kill someone tonight!"

Detective Parker: "Calm down, YN. What do you mean?"

YN: "I got a message. It said there's going to be a murder tonight. We have to stop it."

Detective Reyes: "We need more than just a message to act on this. Do you have any idea where or who?"

YN: "No, but we can't just do nothing!"

Despite the detectives' skepticism, YN convinces them to at least keep an eye out. She, Alex, and Ella set up a plan to monitor potential targets—people close to YN who might be in danger.

Jimin: "We need to stay with Ella. She's been the closest to you throughout this."

YN: "Agreed. Detective Parker, can you keep an eye on my apartment building? Maybe the shadow will make a move there."

Detective Parker: "We'll do our best. Stay safe."

YN and Jimin arrive at Ella's place. Ella is reluctant but lets them in, sensing the gravity of the situation.

Ella: "Are you sure this is necessary?"

YN: "Ella, please. The shadow is planning something awful. We need to be here."

Ella: "Alright. I trust you, YN. Just tell me what to do."

As night falls, the atmosphere grows tense. The group stays vigilant, checking windows and doors. Suddenly, the lights flicker, and a chill fills the room.

Jimin: "It's here."

The shadow materializes, more menacing than ever, and heads straight for Ella. YN leaps into action, trying to shield her friend.
