Ordnung war mein Schutz. Jetzt ist sie mein Käfig. Ich dachte, ich hätte alles im Griff. Ordnung beruhigt mich. Routine gibt mir Halt. Mein Zuhause ist mein sicherer Ort. Doch plötzlich ist alles anders: Nachrichten ohne Absender. Tote Tiere vor meiner Tür. Geräusche in der Nacht. Jemand kennt meine Schritte, meine Gedanken, meine Angst.

Und vielleicht steht er längst hinter meiner Tür.

Ich muss zuerst herausfinden, was geschehen ist. Wer sie war. Warum sie hier war. Und was zur Hölle ich damit zu tun habe. Aber je tiefer ich in diese Nacht eintauche, desto brüchiger wird mein Bild von der Wahrheit. Von mir. Von ihm.
