Part 23 — Discharge

"I haven't been here in so long."

"Fuck off. You were here the last day before you were in the hospital."

"An entire month!" Xin said, covering up. "That's long!"

"That's as long as I wasn't here. Be quiet."

"...So, how have you been doing?"

"Eh? Before Grace, I was doing fine."

"Great. However, can we not say that name? The other one, too? Can we just call them 'bitch' and 'son of a bitch?'"

"Fine with me. Anyway, without the bitch, I was fine. I had everything set up and ready to go. Then, while I was working my shift, she appeared. She seemed fine at first, but then she turned into a crazy bitch—"

"You mean, you discovered that she was a crazy bitch all along."

"Yeah. So, after that, she asked to live with me—"

"Bitch."

"—and I refused. Then, she appeared at my fucking front door..." Zap waited for Xin. "How do you think she got our address?"

"I don't know, maybe she's a stalker crazy bitch?"

"Okay. Well, after that, I decided to wait somewhere else until she left. And that's where the cameras came in."

"Yep."

"So I opened the app, started viewing the front door camera video and all that, and that's when I saw that you were watching the camera as well..."

"Yes?"

"Did you ever use the camera before then?"

"Huh? No. I told you the cameras wouldn't matter, remember? I didn't have any purpose for them. Plus, the only reason why I started watching the video was because I got a notification saying that you did."

"Oh. Well, that's all that happened. Then you came, started trying to kill me, blah blah, and you know the rest."

"Yeah. Okay. Well, it's time to enter our house again. Come on, let's go."
