Revenge After Death

After returning from the ruined building, I couldn't shake the strange feeling that my reactions always lagged behind my subconscious...

"Stephie..." Steven turned to me, protesting, "He must be up to no good. That's why he wants me to leave."

I nodded. "Michael, you can say it with Steven present."

Michael was so furious that it took him a while to calm down before speaking, "Stephie... Yasmin is really important. Even the police know that—"

"Why are you explaining so much to me? Are you worried that I might kill her?" I interjected curiously.

Somehow, Michael seemed to be wary of me. Was it because of the recent killing game in the ruined building?

"No... " Michael replied after a long pause. It was evident he was worried that I would kill Yasmin.

Nervously, he tried to explain once again, "I'm just— "

"Since I didn't kill her at the ruined building, you don't have to worry about me getting rid of her now that we're out," I assured him, realizing that Michael had been startled by the sight of me pressuring Yasmin for answers.

"Honey, he's scared of you," Steven whispered to me.

I didn't respond to him and fixed my eyes on Michael.
