A week passed by and Frances and Georges kept a constant eye on Stephan, always asking if he was alright or if Phil appeared again "I'M ALRIGHT, GOD DAMN IT! I ALREADY SAID I'M OK!"

"HEY! DON'T YELL AT ME LIKE THAT!" Frances shouted pointing a finger at her brother from the other side of the breakfast table "I'M ONLY CHECKING ON YOU BECAUSE I CARE! YOU'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH THAT STUPID LAPTOP ALL WEEK! LOOK AT YOU! YOU LOOK LIKE A DAMN ZOMBIE! WHEN DID YOU SLEEP FOR THE LAST TIME?!"

Stephan indeed hadn't slept much during that week; he was too scared of Phil showing up again... And him not waking up that time. He was only awake because of caffeine, energetics, and quick 15 minutes naps (the longest he made to close his eyes before jolting awake).

"I said I'm ok" He said through clenched teeth "What I need to do is figure out that stupid code and-"

"What you need is a good night of sleep! Stephan, come on, this laptop can wait! You need to look after yourself a bit!"

"NO, I CAN'T!" He shouted and then turned away from her as he drank up his coffee.

"Look-" Frances walked around the table and grabbed both his shoulders "I know you think he will show up again and do... Whatever he did the last time. But you are ok. You are safe, see? You're here. I am here. This is the real world. He can't come here, you know that. He's stuck in whatever dimension we threw him at the last time"

Stephan looked up at her and she gave him a soft smile. He looked beyond her shoulder and sighed what seemed like a ghost glitching, trying to take form. Until it came clear and he saw Phil with his arms wrapped around Frances with his sick smirk staring straight into Stephan's soul from above her shoulder. The boy closed his eyes and shacked his head quickly as stepped back, getting rid of Frances' grip. Phil was now gone.

He practically ran to his room and slammed the door, diving into another afternoon filled by more passwords.

...

"Georges you don't get it, he is acting like a lunatic!" Frances told him as they sat together in a park's bench.

"He won't let you come close to the laptop?" Georges asked.

"No! He treats that thing like the most precious thing on the planet. There's no Mystery Trio anymore, only Stephan and his mind..."

"That's what worries me the most" Georges mumbled and Frances nodded.

"Gosh, I understand that the information in there... It's unbelievable! And maybe there's even a way to get rid of Phil forever, but he shut us out! He can't do this alone. You needed to see his eyes this morning... It was so scary"

Georges leaned his head over hers and she sighed "He's gonna be ok soon. I hope so at least. Or else we are gonna need to send him to a shrink"

Frances hit his shoulder as both of them laughed "He-Hey! I'm kidding! I'm only joking!"

"Idiot" She said hitting him again as she tried to hold her laugh looking away and crossing her arms.

"Eh" Georges shrugged and they laughed.

Frances gasped and hit Georges shoulder "OH MY GOD, isn't tonight Angie's debut in that play?!"

"Oh crap, you're right!" He flushed grabs his phone "It's at seven- And it's already six o'clock! Oh, shoot!"

"I'll drag Stephan out tonight with us doesn't what! He needs to get out of that room for at least a few hours!" She declares standing up "See you there!"

"You got this, Fran!" Georges shouted as Frances walked away.

...

BEEP. "This" BEEP. "Is" BEEP. "So" BEEP. "FRUSTRATING!" BEEP. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" BEEP.
