{Last chapter happening}
(Yes nilagyan ko na ng ganito, to avoid confusion.)

Shortly after settling in and bonding while watching Netflix in Alice's living room, she felt the urge to use the restroom. Politely excusing herself, she made her way to the bathroom. However, as she entered, a soft moan caught her attention, piquing her curiosity. Peeking through the slightly ajar door, she was met with a sight that shattered her heart - Risa and Leni locked in a passionate embrace, kissing each other tenderly.

The scene struck Alice like a dagger to the heart, overwhelming her with a mix of emotions. With a heavy heart, she returned to her seat, fighting back tears that threatened to spill. Despite the pain and betrayal she felt, Alice chose to remain silent, swallowing her hurt and suppressing her emotions. She refrained from confronting Risa or expressing her anguish, fearing that speaking up would only lead to Risa ending their relationship. Deep down, Alice harbored the fear that if she voiced her concerns, Risa might abandon her, as she believed Risa was only staying with her out of obligation or force.

In the midst of the conflicting emotions swirling within her, Alice grappled with the heart-wrenching realization of the infidelity she had witnessed. Despite the devastating discovery, she opted to keep her sorrow hidden, masking her pain behind a facade of composure and restraint, all while enduring the weight of the betrayal in silence.

The laughter echoed in Alice's head, a cacophony of voices that felt both real and unreal.  It was like being trapped in a crowded room, the air thick with chatter and laughter, yet she was utterly alone.  She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out the noise, but the voices only intensified.  They were inside her head, a relentless assault on her senses.

"Stop it," she whispered, her voice a mere breath. "Please stop."

But the voices wouldn't relent.  They were like phantom limbs, reaching out to her, pulling her deeper into the abyss of her own mind.  She couldn't bear it anymore.  She screamed, a primal, desperate cry that ripped through the room.

Leni, Loren, Risa, Imee, Kiko, and Pia, all turned towards Alice, their faces a mixture of concern and confusion.  Alice's scream had shattered the jovial atmosphere, leaving a chilling silence in its wake.

Alice looked up at them, her eyes wide and filled with tears.  The laughter that had been tormenting her had vanished, replaced by a wave of overwhelming emotion.  Risa, her girlfriend, was the first to reach her side, her face etched with worry.

"Alice, what's wrong?" Risa asked, her voice soft and gentle.  She reached out to hug Alice, but Alice recoiled, pushing her away.

"Why are you pushing me, hon?" Risa asked, her voice laced with confusion.  She tried to hug Alice again, but Alice flinched away, her eyes filled with a pain that Risa couldn't comprehend.

"You... you're a cheater," Alice whispered, her voice choked with emotion.  The words tumbled out, each one a painful reminder of the betrayal she believed she had witnessed.

Risa was stunned.  She had no idea where Alice was getting these accusations from.  She tried to calm Alice down, but Alice kept pushing her away, her eyes fixed on Risa with a mixture of anger and heartbreak.

"What do you mean, my love? I only love you, you know that," Risa said, her voice trembling.  She desperately wanted to reassure Alice, but the words felt hollow in the face of Alice's accusations.
