00:08The last dinner in room number four.
00:11I opened the book again today.
00:14The page trembled between my fingers as if it had a heartbeat.
00:19The new section, Anonymous Confessions, began changing its words on its own before my eyes.
00:27Then the following lines appeared in dark red, and this was the first confession.
00:34To whoever is reading these words, don't look for me, because I no longer exist in your world.
00:42Ten years ago, I moved into a cheap apartment in the middle of the city.
00:48Room number four was always locked with a heavy iron padlock.
00:53I asked the landlord about it, and he replied briefly,
00:58It's just an old storage room.
01:01Don't open it.
01:03But every night, at exactly 3 a.m., I heard faint sounds coming from inside.
01:10The clinking of spoons against porcelain plates, and quiet whispers,
01:16as if a family were gathered around a dinner table.
01:20One cold winter night, curiosity finally got the better of me.
01:26I grabbed a bolt cutter and broke the lock.
01:30I opened the door slowly.
01:33The room was completely empty, covered in dust,
01:37except for a single wooden table in the center with four empty plates on it.
01:42I felt disappointed and closed the door.
01:47But I made a terrible mistake.
01:50I never locked it again.
01:53The following night, the sounds no longer came from behind the locked door.
01:59They came from inside my apartment.
02:03I woke up at 3 a.m. to an unbearable cold filling my living room.
02:09My legs trembled as I walked toward the kitchen.
02:13My dining table was fully set, four plates, and four chairs.
02:20Three of those chairs were occupied.
02:22The figures had no visible faces.
02:27Their heads were nothing but endless black emptiness,
02:31yet they were old-fashioned clothing from the 1960s.
02:36The fourth chair
02:38was empty.
02:40I froze in terror.
02:43Suddenly, the three dark faces turned toward me at the exact same moment.
02:50None of them spoke.
02:52But I heard a voice inside my head saying,
02:56You're late for dinner.
02:58We've been waiting for you for decades.
03:01I backed away, then ran out of the apartment.
03:06And I never returned.
03:09For the next ten years,
03:11I lived in constant fear,
03:13moving from one city to another,
03:16convincing myself that I had escaped.
03:19Until this morning,
03:21I woke up in a place I didn't recognize.
03:25I looked around in horror.
03:28The walls were peeling,
03:31dust filled the room,
03:32and in the middle stood a wooden table.
03:35I'm sitting in the fourth chair,
03:38inside room number four,
03:40and I can't stand up.
03:43When the confession ended,
03:46an icy chill swept through my room.
03:49At the bottom of the page,
03:51a new sentence appeared in trembling handwriting.
03:54The next confession belongs to someone you know very well.
04:00I'll reveal it to you tomorrow.
04:02After the meeting as well,
04:04you're welcome to join us.
04:04I'll be presenting your
