Raegan inspected her stained clothing, her expression turning into one of concern. With the event approaching, I knew I had to maintain a professional appearance. Stained clothing was unacceptable.

The cleaning staff, visibly shaken and on the verge of tears, received a non-confrontational signal from Raegan to move on, avoiding further conflict.

Raegan then headed to the locker room to change clothes.

The cleaning staff, apparently dedicated to their task, surreptitiously watched Raegan's passage.

When Raegan entered the locker room, the cleaning staff looked up, their eyes shining with malice, fixating on the door through which Raegan disappeared.

Afterwards, the cleaning staff cast a furtive glance around, quickly sneaking in when no one was paying attention.

It was a shared locker room with eight separate cabins.

The front door was often left ajar, relying on everyone to lock their own cabin.

Now, with no one else in the other booths, Raegan was the only one in the entire dressing room.

Suddenly, an unmistakable click sounded. It was the sound of the front door closing.

"Who's there?" Raegan's perplexed voice came from her cabin.

The hunched over cleaning staff burst into disturbing laughter. Then, he stood up abruptly, pulling down his mask to reveal a chilling face.

It was none other than Lauren, who had been missing for a long time.

“Raegan, guess who I am…” Lauren asked in a sing-song tone, her voice hoarse and dry. «Guess who I am…»

With a sharp dagger in her hand and a look of madness in her eyes, Lauren entered the dressing room.

A silent stillness reigned.

Aware that a lunatic like Lauren was lurking outside her cabin, Raegan held her breath, maintaining silence.

A loud bang echoed in the dressing room. Lauren forcefully opened the door to the first cabin, discovering that it was empty.

Lauren then headed to the second one, finding it also unoccupied.

After trying three booths in a row without success, Lauren lost patience. "Bitch!" he shouted sharply. "Salt!"

Receiving nothing but silence in response, Lauren changed her tone to a more cautious one. "Salt. If you come out now, I'll go easy on you, okay?

From the moment she entered the dressing room, Lauren oscillated between shouting and speaking softly, with wild laughter interspersed. She was a complete lunatic.

«Are you afraid? After all, you're trapped now, right? Let me tell you a secret. I put a hallucinogen in the coffee when I ran into you. Just by smelling it you won't be able to move. Don't keep dreaming that you can escape. “No one is coming to save you,” Lauren said confidently.

Before entering the dressing room, Lauren had placed the "No Trespassing" sign outside the door, eliminating any chance of anyone entering.

As Lauren walked across the room, she slid the sharp dagger across the wooden boards, creating a terrifying hiss.

The quieter Raegan remained, the more excited Lauren became. It felt like I was playing hide and seek.

With a laugh, Lauren said, "Now I'm going to start counting the seconds." When I find you, for every second that passes..." Lauren paused and giggled, as if she could barely contain her joy. «I'll give you a new cut! If you hurry out now, you will suffer less.

After saying that, Lauren pushed the door to the fourth cabin, which also turned out to be empty.

He laughed as he counted: "Ten, eleven, twelve..."

By the time Lauren reached the door to the sixth cabin, she had counted to forty.

Once again, a loud bang echoed through the room.

But this time, the door didn't move. Unlike the other doors, this one was locked from the inside.

Lauren instantly crouched down and, through the gap under the door, peered into the cabin, where she saw a pair of black shoes inside.

Letting out another maniacal laugh, Lauren brandished the knife and said, “I found you!”

The owner of the black shoes backed away frantically, frightened by the knife.

Lauren brandished the knife again, but this time she pointed it at the door.

Over and over again, she stabbed the door with the knife like a mad woman.

"Wait!" Raegan's trembling voice finally came from inside. «What do you want? You are making a mistake. Do you want to go to jail?

Once again, Lauren let out a chilling laugh. Then, he spat out, “My face and body are completely ruined! Do you think I'm afraid of going to jail?

After a pause, Raegan's firm voice came from inside the cabin. «You set me up first, remember? Besides, it wasn't me who ruined your face or body. You should find the person responsible for 5, Lauren stared at the knife marks on the door with her chin tucked toward her neck and a mad glint in her eyes. "The person responsible for my suffering is Mitchel!"

Hearing this, Raegan felt a pang of surprise. I couldn't accept that Mitchel was capable of something like that. "Back then, Mitchel didn't completely push you into the fire, did he?" he ventured.

"He left me an escape route that was worse than that," Lauren snapped.

«I only had two options. Either walk towards the fire or go to the police station. What other option did I have?

His eyes were filled with resentment. Gritting her teeth, Lauren continued: “I was an esteemed lady of Ardlens, leading a life envied by all. How was I going to end up in jail? Even death would have been better.

Just remembering the scene filled her with new fury, causing her to stab the door again. «It's all your fault, bitch! If it weren't for you, it wouldn't have ended like this. Until Mitchel met you, he was never so ruthless to me!

As she spoke, Lauren madly stabbed at the door over and over again, filling Raegan's heart with fear.

Raegan managed to convince Lauren, “Lauren, didn't you end up like this because of your own decisions? You can't blame anyone else! The waiter spiking my drink won't keep you behind bars forever. Even if you turn yourself in, they won't condemn you for long. You were given a chance, but you chose the wrong path, allowing your face and body to be ruined. Who can you blame but yourself?
