Days pass, but there’s still no call from Riva.
Everyone in the house says the same thing — “She’s just busy with college.”
But Reha has started to feel something’s off.
A strange silence surrounds her now, echoing in her heart.
One day, Reha can’t take it anymore.
Without telling anyone, she slowly makes her way to Riva’s house with the help of her walking stick.
The path is familiar.
She knows the door’s password —
she used to come here all the time.
Their houses were just across the street.
They were raised together like sisters.
Entering without telling anyone was never a big deal.
But today, as soon as she steps inside...
She hears someone crying from inside.
She freezes.

(Crying, to Riva’s brother)
What do I say to her…?
She keeps calling, asking about Riva…
Why hasn’t she called me back…?
Did she change her number…?
Why won’t she say anything…?
How do I tell her that…
Riva…
Riva isn’t in this world anymore…
Reha feels the ground slip from under her.
She walks forward, her voice shaking.
reha
What do you mean…?
Riva isn’t in this world anymore…?
