Harmonia is laying in bed, the nightjar she’d saved and taken as a pet near her. The bird screeches and hops over to the window.
Harmonia looks up. “What’s up?”
The bird pecks the glass and Harmonia opens the window, the bird hopping out of it and starting to hop towards the woods.
Harmonia runs outside and follows it.
The nightjar continues into the woods, Harmonia on its tail. She can hear more birds in the tree, including owls.
Harmonia looks at the trees, a bit uneasy. “Uh oh…”
The sky starts to get darker as she continues on, her unease growing. “Um… that’s concerning…”
It keeps getting darker until it feels like the middle of the night, it's hard to see as the birds in the trees watch her more forward.
“Uhhh… hello?” Harmonia calls out, looking around.
The birds' chirps and noises change more until it almost sounds like a song.
The birds begin to sing.
“Uh.. this is freaky…” Harmonia comments. She reaches a small clearing and ahead she sees 3 dots, blue, green, and red.
“Oh fuck… hi?” It doesn't move as she can hear the slight hum of an old screen.
“H-hello is someone here?” Harmonia asks.
It stays still as the nightjar looks up at it.
Harmonia stands protectively over the nightjar.
The birds finish the song as they go back to making normal sounds.
"That just happened." Harmonia takes out her phone and informs the Kiss of her experience before going back to the scene in front of her.
Harmonia tries to touch the lights and feels a smooth, cold screen. She puts her hand on it and uses her phone flashlight, revealing an old computer with a built-in keyboard seemingly attached to the side of a tree. It’s somehow still difficult to see.
Harmonia taps the keyboard but nothing really happens. She taps the screen again. “Hi,”
After tapping, knocking, and yelling at the screen, nothing happens and Harmonia lays down in front of it, petting her nightjar.
The screen tilts down to seemingly watch her.
“So you’re alive!” Harmonia says. The screen doesn’t react and she waves but the screen does nothing once more.
She picks up her nightjar and walks away with it, feeling like she’s being watched as she does so.
Harmonia walks faster, holding the bird close as she hears something walking behind her.
She looks behind her to see the 3 lights.
“Hi-“ She says before turning back around and walking faster.
As she moves away from where the screen was the sky starts getting lighter again, the sounds of being followed and the birds persisting.
She returns home safely.
