– Yes, yes she is, weird creepy bells that make far too much sense.

She grabs her keys and puts on her shoes and goes down to the mailroom.

There is in fact a letter for her in the box.

She takes it, frowning a little, and opens it.

It's from the taxi company, just a note of disconnection.

Oh well.

She goes back to her place and leaves it on the table.

She hears thunder in the distance.

She goes to look out the window.

Those are indeed some rain clouds!

She shuts the curtain and goes to sit on her bed and just take a few minutes to breathe.

it's overwhelming to be right.

She picks up her phone and tries to find some sort of information on the orphanage online.

It has a simple website that has no links, only a picture of what clearly used to be a farm, a large number of incredibly happy children, a younger version of Grandma Scarlett and Jeb, and a short blurb. There aren't many other references and they're mostly about this or that person having been adopted from there.

Well, that's… sort of nonthreatening, she hopes.

She passes the time until she gets some information about the job.

it's time to understand more things.

And her phone vibrates at the same time as she hears this. In fact, the sound seems to come from it.

She doesn't shiver this time. Quite.

She does, however, grab her phone, pausing the TV show she's watching as she does so.

An email from Jeb! It has maps!

Maps. Okay.

She has a brief look where they cover – just, areas outside the city proper, presumably.

… Probably quite far outside the city.

Indeed, very far. The box truck itself is in the city, but the orphanage is a few hours away.

Well, she knew what she signed up for. And she does need a job.

She puts her phone away and unpauses the TV show.

Two days later, before she leaves for work, she hears bells coming from... a corner of her room.

… Can she get any more information from them? Does the corner look – broken or anything, wrong?

Nope, it's actually just the corner where she left the teddy bear Grandma Scarlett gave her.

If she walks closer do they get worse, are they warning her?

take me with you, the bear... says, for lack of a better verb. i'm your friend.

She's not sure she trusts it.

Has it got any more to say for itself?
