| DANGER | High |
| MAIN THEME | A phone call, failure to recognize |
She follows the traveler, having no face by which she might be remembered. Her presence is felt as a stranger’s gaze from behind.
Origin and Manifestations
The entity vanishes if a number is dialed on the found phone in front of her. The call restores the very principle of the addressee to the world: someone must answer, and the faceless figure is incapable of accepting a name that does not belong to her.
Erotic Nature
She seeks to replace the absence of a face with intimacy. A touch promises an encounter without words, but ends by erasing the victim’s features. Afterward, the two figures can continue on their way, unable to tell which of them arrived first.
Countermeasures and Cost
Do not turn around until you find a phone. Use any number, keeping your own name in mind. If the screen displays the caller’s face, end the call immediately: the entity has already established contact.
