– But what about the voices and the footsteps? How scary! – Olivia exclaims.
– Oli, shut up! – says Sandra.
– Pay attention. Everything has a reason. – says Erika.
– Eri, why? Tell us. – Olivia begs. She is undoubtedly the most tense of the three.
– No. I said I wouldn't tell you anything and I'm not going to tell you anything.
– Shut up now! I don't understand. What did the girl say? – says Sandra.
– Wait, I'll give her a few scenes back.
Erika sighs. Olivia really got it. Sometimes she acts brave, but then it turns out she's not, she gets scared quickly, especially with scary or thriller movies. She takes a sip of her Coca-Cola and continues. There's less than half of it left to finish.
When she finishes, she looks at her friends. They can't believe it.
– So it turns out that they are… – Sandra begins to say.
– Shhhhh! – Erika whispers. – Sandra, keep it to yourself.

– Oh oh oh! – Olivia exclaims. – I don't believe it, so it was all a lie, well, a lie… Yes, like a deception. So why do they behave so badly with them?
– Oli, they've been trying to make them see it from the beginning, haven't you seen it? – Erika says.
– Well, no, I don't know. How bad! How creepy! Seeing the photos of those people and discovering… Ugh, how scary! – Olivia says with a broken voice.
– Oli, are you okay? – Sandra asks. – I notice you're scared.
– I just am, Sandra. I've been a little, I don't know… upset. My stomach hurts. I think I'm going to go home.
– Do you want a glass of water or something, Oli? – asks Erika.
– No, I don’t want anything, really. Come down with me, please.
– Oli, you’re just scared, right? Oli! – says Sandra.
But Olivia has already headed for the door and opens it. Erika and Sandra run after her, but Olivia is already going down the stairs to the street.
– Well, Eri, I’m going with her to walk her home. I’ll call you when we both get there. – says Sandra.
– Okay. But damn, how upset she is, right? It wasn’t that bad. – says Erika.
– Maybe it affects her even more, Eri, you know how she is.
– Yeah… Well, tell me something. Run or you won’t catch her.
– I’m going! I’ll tell you later.
Sandra runs down the stairs at full speed. When he reaches the front door, he opens it and sees Olivia there, leaning against the wall, scared and with a blank look on her face.
