Quiet trap?

Hello everyone!!

I must confess that ever since I decided to enjoy my confinement (punishment) and gave up many things in the process (I beg you with all my soul not to ask!!), I've been relaxing for once without anything strange or paranormal happening, and guess what...

I love it!!

I don't have to risk my life or face any kind of conspiracy, let alone worry about getting lost!

Everything is perfect!!

... But sadly, it's time to wake up, and the punishment is about to end... It's funny how at first I resisted so much, but now... I feel so empty.

(Slap!!)

NO!!

I HAVE TO REACT!!

Ugh... That was close... I almost truly gave in to the idea of letting myself be locked up...

Fortunately, my willpower was stronger!

But enough about this, let's change the subject, and don't think it's because I'm faltering!

Ahem... Sorry for the outburst... Well, let's review some of the relevant events that occurred during this time.

Did anything really interesting happen?

As always, good question, and let me give you the immediate answer, dear reader....

Actually, nothing too remarkable happened. Disappointing?

You don't even need to answer, obviously I know it was disappointing for you, but that was wonderful for me!!

It was as if the world had somehow reconsidered, leaving me alone during this time.

It was so beautiful, it even seems unreal!!

And it was that very thought that made me realize this must be a trap.

Aren't you being paranoid?

Don't give me that, reader!!

It's one hundred percent impossible for this world to be so "calm" for so long!

Therefore, this must be an elaborate trap, but that leaves the question open: what kind of trap is it?

So, to find out, I decided to review everything that has happened recently, just to be sure.

Starting with the surroundings of the house and the main suspects: the neighbors!

So first, I reviewed the neighbors' behavior to discover anything suspicious, starting with the ones next door, who seem relatively "normal," doing their usual routine, with the father and mother absent almost all the time for work, while their son Fionn maintains his daily routine of noting down all our movements with total concentration and a sleep-deprived expression.

Which means there are no unusual behaviors in the next-door neighbors, so my next suspects were the ones across the street.

Don't they look like a normal family?

Well, just by the image, of course they do.

But remember that a happy family in this world is synonymous with tragedy!!

So I observed them for a long time only to discover the shocking truth that the mother, a married woman, is having sexual relations with the boy from that "clown" incident, and I know what you're thinking:

This is the perfect moment to shout something like: How is that possible?! at the top of my lungs! However, considering how this world works, it's actually not that surprising for this to happen... Well, aside from that small detail, it really has nothing to do with me... Don't look at me like that?!

I know it looks and sounds bad! But I know that boy, so I can assure you (maybe) that he's a good person!

Don't you believe me?

Well, it's true that his behavior doesn't initially suggest it, but remember he's half-crazed because of his experience with that clown!

So we must trust him!!

But getting back to the main topic (again), apart from what's already been mentioned, they seem pretty normal.

Now, having checked the classic neighbors, it was the turn of the biggest suspects, the new neighbors who moved into the house next door.

What makes them so suspicious?

The answer is that they moved precisely into the house next door, which has been empty since Mom (possessed) and I moved here years ago, before the "family" grew as much as it has now.

Just the fact that they managed to do something that seemed impossible is already suspicious to me!

But since they spend all their time locked inside and no one really knows what they do, leaving me with no choice but to intervene.

<"I don't recommend entering a cursed house">

"......"

But I instantly changed my mind, retracting my decision after hearing Echidna's words, which conveyed extremely important information.

<"H-hey, why are you holding the frying pan?">

"His name is Antonio."

<".... Why are you holding "Antonio" in front of me?">

"To ask you.... Why the hell didn't you say anything?!"

(WHAM with the FRYING PAN!!!)
