When I woke up she was gone. Only leaving a note for me to read.
'Thanks for last night. I'll clean the clothes and return them when I see you next.'
This note kind of grosses me out. She can keep the clothes if I don't have to see her again. She was too weird.
Something was wrong with her. She must have done something.
I check around the apartment. I look for anything new or missing. I check every cupboard, inside the bedding she used, threw my wardrobe. I found nothing.
Nothing new, nothing missing. Than I remembered. The odd amount of time she spent in the restroom.
I entered it. I unfolded the towels. Checked the used ones. Check the medicine cabinet. Opening every box and bottle. I chec the unused toilet paper.
I even pulled down the mirror to look behind it.
I found nothing. Though my paranoia remained. Like something crawling under my skin. I know she had to have done something.
I turn in circles double checking everything again. There has to be something. Why can't I find it.
'Patience has leveled up.'
I started using Eye of Truth on everything in my apartment.
'Old sink. In excellent condition.'
'Old towel. Not soft anymore. You should probably get a new one.'
'Mana Stove. Used good condition. Mana stone 15% charge remaining.'
I turned in circles trying to check every item. Not reading the description entirely. Just enough to move on.
'Eye of truth has leveled up.'
After ravening threw my apartment I returned to the restroom tearing threw it again.
'Patience has leveled up.'
Every single item I went threw twice.
'Eye of truth has leveled up.'
I found nothing. Not a thing.
I step up and out of the restroom. I gotta calm my head. I've been too paranoid lately and this has just set me off.
Maybe she really did nothing. I mean she was a mess. She's a newly divorced woman that can't cook.
I counted in my head. Eleven days. That's how long it took for my paranoia to take over. I started laughing hysterically in frustration.
My mentality must be very low for me to succumb so easily. I need to chill.
I stopped laughing and breathed trying to calm down. Leaning against the wall. Okay, I was very much okay before the system.
I guess part of this is that Anita is acting weird. Though she's like a parent. Parents keep things from their children all the time. It's to protect them.
I've always trusted her. Now shouldn't be any different. I slide down the wall sitting down.
It just happened to occur at the same time I got a system. I need to to not be constantly thinking the worst will happen.
I am gonna be fine. Everything is okay. Blobbles walked over and gently put my hand over it's head.
Gosh what would she even leave. She's just a low level accountant. The Eye of truth made her threat level low.
Paranoia will get me nowhere. I need to be calm to see things clearly. I look around my now ravaged apartment.
This is more than paranoia. Is this the effect of the patience skill. It leveled up twice.
Jeez, this is insane. I've never torn up my apartment like this before. I've never held onto paranoia for so long.
It's a good thing I don't work today. I need a me day. The sign in is at a library.
I think I'll still sign in but I'm still going to make this day about me. I sign in, read a bit, than go to the stop by the store to get my pay and talk to Anita.
Her and I got to talk. Though first things first.
I gotta clean my apartment.
