X: Messages in the Dark

The phone vibrates. An unknown chat is open.

X: Wake up.

Lia: Who are you?

X: There’s no time. Listen: you’re in danger.

Lia: What? Who are you??

X: Later. First, tell me, do you remember where you are?

Lia: No...

Lia: Wait… what’s happening?

Lia: My head hurts. I don’t know where I am. Why do I have this phone?

X: The important thing is to get out of there.

Lia: Get out of where??

X: Don’t waste time with questions. Trust me.

Lia: I’m not going to trust someone who won’t even tell me who they are.

X: If you don’t trust me, you won’t get out of there.

Lia: What does that mean? Am I locked in?

X: Yes.

Lia: Why?

X: Listen, Lia. You can’t remember anything because you were hurt.

Lia: Lía?

X: Yes. That is your name.

Lia: I don’t remember.

X: I know.

Lia: How do you know my name? Who are you?

X: I'm here to help you.

Lia: That doesn’t answer my question.
