The shape had not changed.

It was still the same faint mark she had known all her life.

Yet, in that moment, it felt unfamiliar.

She remembered Madison pulling her head toward the glass.

She remembered the pressure near her left eyebrow.

She wondered again whether the placement had been deliberate.

Perhaps she was simply frightened and trying to find an explanation for something senseless.

Perhaps the cracks made every detail seem more significant.

But a quiet uneasiness continued growing inside her.

Behind her, Madison shifted on the floor.

Nora heard the sound of fabric brushing against the tiles.

Then something small struck the floor with a hard, flat tap.

Neither girl immediately noticed.

Nora was still studying her reflection.

She remembered her mother brushing her hair away from the mark when she was younger.

She remembered being told there was nothing unusual about it.

She remembered how many years she had accepted that explanation without giving it another thought.

Then an electronic vibration broke the silence.

BZZZT.

Nora flinched.

Madison looked down.

A smartphone lay faceup on the tiles near her knee.

It must have slipped from her jacket pocket during the fall.

The screen glowed.

Nora glanced at it automatically.

At first, she saw only the time and the familiar shape of a notification.

Then the words appeared.

CONFIRM BLOOD SAMPLE VISIBLE.

Nora stopped breathing for a moment.

She read the message once.

Then again.

The words did not change.

Blood sample?

Slowly, she raised a trembling hand toward her injured forehead.

A small trace of blood remained on her fingertips.

And suddenly, Madison’s strange attention to the mark above her eyebrow no longer felt like an accident.

Nora turned toward the blonde girl.

“Madison…”

Madison looked at the screen.

The expression on her face changed so quickly that Nora almost failed to recognize her.

The smile disappeared.

Her blue eyes widened.

For the first time that afternoon, she looked genuinely frightened.

Nora stared at her.

Someone had sent Madison a message about blood at the exact moment Nora was bleeding.

And whoever had sent it appeared to be expecting confirmation.

Nora could think of no innocent explanation.

Not yet.

The restroom was silent again.

Only the cold fluorescent lights hummed overhead.

Then Madison reached toward the phone.

And Nora realized that whatever was happening, the other girl already knew more about it than she did.

The story isn’t over yet.
