Inna screamed the loudest scream she ever made as she scrambled get out of the room. She didn't dare to wait for the girl's eyes to meet hers as she ran out of the door for dear life.

Meanwhile, hearing Inna's scream, the girl by the desk was so startled that she instinctively wanted to scream in reply too.

But the bread she stuffed in her mouth earlier was in the way and instead of successfully screaming, she accidentally swallowed a big gulp of it instead.

The lump of chewed up bread blocked her airways as she tried to even get a sound out. But the only sound she could release was a heaving sound, indicating that she was actually choking.

She grasped her throat in panic as she tried to push her way into breathing. But the more she did it, the more panicked she became.

She fell towards the floor as her body grew weak from the lack of oxygen. She started banging her hand on the floor as she tried to call someone, anyone, for help.

Inna heard the banging and her fear escalated beyond what she could ever manage. Confused, afraid, and with adrenaline now leaving her body, she started to feel woozy that she had to lean by the door to actually stay upright.

"What's happening?!"

She heard Ulima's scream a distance away. Oddly enough, his voice didn't sound like it was on the lower floor. In fact, it sounded like he was outside of the dorms instead.

Inna rubbed off the stray tears on her cheeks that leaked out when she ran for dear life earlier.

"HELP! THERE'S A GHOST!"

Inna screamed as she tried to steadily stand. But she was still feeling a bit faint from the fright that she flopped back towards the door. It made her press her ear towards it and she was about to change position when she heard the heaving and hacking sounds.

Is someone choking inside?

Wait, can a ghost even choke?

She furrowed her brows as she decided to listen more intently. The banging on the floor and the sounds all point to the signs of someone choking.

Curious, Inna couldn't help but open the door a little to see if a ghost could really choke or not.

And lo and behold, the ghost was indeed choking.

The girl was now kneeling on the floor, right on the spot that the moonlight illuminated. With the minute lighting, Inna figured that she can finally be able to make out the form and details she missed because of the darkness before.

Inna squinted and tried to get a closer look, only to realize…

The ghost is actually a PERSON!

She's nowhere near dead looking or even remotely transparent!

With that thought, she immediately went back into the room as she scrambled towards the person's side.

She pounded on the girl's chest as she tried to look for something that might help.

But after scanning her room and trying to remember all the things she stuffed inside her spatial pouch, she didn't find anything useful to help a choking person. But then again, she didn't even know what could be useful to help since she has no experience with helping them in the first place.

Still, she knew the number one most effective way of helping.

And that's calling for help.

"ULIMA! I NEED HELP!"

Near the yard, she could hear Ulima yell back.

"I'M NOT GOING THERE! YOU DEAL WITH YOUR GHOSTS ON YOUR OWN!"

Inna glared at the direction where she heard his voice coming as she screamed again.

"COME UP HERE! SOMEONE NEEDS HELP!"

"I DON'T WANT TO!"

Ulima's swift reply came immediately as soon as Inna ended her scream and it took Inna a lot of strength to not scream profanities at him left and right.

"SOMEONE IS CHOKING HERE! AND I DON'T THINK SHE'S A GHOST!"

Inna tried again using an urgent tone. This time she learned to be more specific.

Ulima immediately teleported inside the room and gasped lightly. But he didn't leave a single second wasted as he punched the girl in her stomach.

When his fist collided with the young girl's stomach, the bread that was lodged inside her throat shot out of her mouth and the girl grew limp in Ulima's arms.

Inna looked at the little girl and Ulima alternately in horror.

Then, she placed her trembling hand on her mouth as she stuttered.

"O-oh m-my f-f.u.c.k… Did you just… kill her?"

Ulima glared at Inna as he snorted.

"She just fainted from the lack of air but she's fine. The thing that blocked her throat is already gone so she should be up in no time."

He gently picked the unconscious girl up as he settled her on Inna's bed.

Inna looked at the messy bed, now with the little girl's form on it, and she couldn't help but frown.

To think she was sleeping peacefully there just moments ago...

What's with today?

She just wanted to rest but it didn't even take long for another thing to happen.

With all these frustrations along with the sudden fatigue that came after being thoroughly scared for her life, she couldn't help but sigh loudly as she sat on the floor of her room.

She just wordlessly watched Ulima as he began to inspect the girl for possible complications.

But when she felt the floor starting to feel like it was freezing her to death, probably from the cold breezes that the open door was giving to the room, she stood up and went to sit on the chair by her desk.

Momentarily, she forgot about the earlier incident as she watched Ulima work like a doctor, poking and checking here and there. But then, it suddenly dawned into her as she tried placing her elbow on her desk. Her elbow came into contact with a very familiar item.

She squinted hard to try and make out what it was. And when she touched it gingerly and sniffed it slightly, she knew it was a sandwich.

A sandwich with… apple jam?

She tried tapping blindly on her desk to try and find more food and her nails came into contact with a plate. And when she pulled that plate slightly towards her, it's heaviness already indicated that the plate must've had lots of food on top of it.

Meanwhile, after Ulima checked the girl's neck for a pulse again, he was worried over the overall state of the girl, and most importantly the possible bruise he might have given her, so he decided to chant a spell that can give light to Inna's room to help him inspect.

When the spell was finished, Inna couldn't help but get startled from the sudden bright light that bombarded her senses. Her eyes tried hard to adjust and return back to normal as she peered at the girl laying on her bed.

And when her eyes finally found its normalcy back, she finally saw who was lying on her bed. And she couldn't help but stand up in shock.
