"There's no trace of anyone entering." " Her time of death was..." " Around 9..50pm." "How did you know that?" "Can someone come and turn off all the lights at the same time?"

"He spits out stuff like, I didn't do it," "I don't remember, or something evil lives inside me." "Then he denies the murder." "It's been three hours already." "Answer the questions, you idiot!" "We found your key at every murder scene." "How can you explain this?" "Whose blood is this?" "Whose blood is it, you bastard?" "Keep still!" "Keep still, you bastard!" "That's a twitch." "He can't help himself." "It can't stop." "When he feels very nervous or scared, it gets worse like that." " Is it a physical disorder?" " Not really." "They're also called Hikikomori." "Most of them are socially inept." "It's made him mentally unstable." "Simply put, crazy." "There's a lot of his kind recently." "They're scared of society and can't leave their homes." "Why did he kill them?" "Not sure." "It's the first time I've heard of a Hikikomori committing murder." "They're extremely reserved, and don't even speak to people." "But what about his bloody clothes and the keys at the murder scene?" "I told you." "He's crazy." "How else can I explain what a crazy person has done?" "My parents went to visit a relative."

"And the references on the Fortune Apartment tenants." "I looked through it, and found something strange." "December 24 of last year, room 704." "A suicide was right." "And the blood on the dress was from Yoo-yeon." "Where'd you get that bloody dress?" "That blood was Yoo-yeon's." "Here..." "It's safe here, right?" "Will you believe whatever I say?" "It was last year when I first moved there." "At first I thought it was a dream." "But I felt the dream was getting real as time went by." "You sure you'll be okay?" "While showing me her past, she seemed to be aying something to me." "Hoping someone would acknowledge her." "How awful!" "How could both her parents have died in an accident at the same time!"

"As much as I wanted to run away, as much as I wanted to kill myself, I was too scared to do anything!" "Want me to show you your apartment?" "You were the only one there!" "I won't go." "No, I'll never go back." "No!" "No!" "What's wrong with you?" "Stop it!" "Shin Jung-soo!" "Mom!" "I didn't mean to kill them at first." "Mister!" "Mister!" "Hello?" "Anybody there?"
