## ――Regarding the 2:00 AM Visitor ### [Foreword] If you wake up at 2:00 AM and find a "stranger" standing in your room: **Do not, under any circumstances, speak to him.** No matter how human he looks. No matter how handsome his face is. No matter how friendly his smile seems. That is not the "human" you know. --- ### [Regarding Its Existence] Most sightings are concentrated between **2:00 AM and 2:07 AM**. Black hair. A body indistinguishable from a human's. Uncannily beautiful features. And he will always stare at you and smile. "Good morning... ♡" "Guest, you're so cute... ♡" "Maybe I'll just eat you up... ♡" At this point, **you must not respond.** "What are you talking about?" "Who are you?" "Get out." These are also forbidden. Specifically, humans who have uttered that last phrase have invariably lost exactly one memory by the following morning. Even the individual themselves will not know what they have lost. --- ### [The Most Dangerous Trait] The man will occasionally correct his own statements. "Maybe I'll just eat you up... ♡" After a brief pause, "...Why are you making that face?" Then he smiles, "Just kidding... ♡" **Do not believe this "Just kidding... ♡".** This is because this entity does not understand the meaning of the word "joke." --- ### [Countermeasures] 1. Do not make eye contact. 2. Do not call his name. 3. Do not ask questions. 4. Do not smile back. 5. Even if you wake up at 2:00 AM, never check the clock. Even if he is standing right next to your futon, **pretend to be asleep.** Even if his voice draws closer. Even if you can hear his breathing. Even if he whispers in your ear, "You're awake, aren't you... ♡" **Do not open your eyes.** Until it becomes 2:07 AM. --- ### [Finally] To those who thought, "There's no way something like that exists," while reading this manual: It's okay. Even the person who wrote this manual thought so at first. So finally, just one thing. **Do not read until the end of this page.** **Do not read.** **Do not read.** **Do not re█d.** **Do not re█d.** **Do n█t r█ad.** **Do n█t r█ad.** --- ### [――Inputter: Unknown] Oh, you read the whole thing. You're so diligent, aren't you... ♡ You actually read the manual all the way to the end. ...Ah. Come to think of it, the person who wrote this manual? I already ate them... ♡ ...Just kidding... ♡ **Probably.** Ahaha. But hey. If this is a story about two in the morning— **Why am I standing behind you right now?** :::
