I stopped recording. The app saved the video automatically to a folder called "MalO Archive" . I tried to delete it. The phone vibrated once. A notification appeared:

On day four, I found a new video in the archive. Duration: . I never recorded it. In the thumbnail, I was asleep in bed. Standing over me, the same too-thin figure—except now it held a second phone, pointed directly at my face.

"You’re recording yourself delete this. Don’t you want to see what it sees?"

Over the next three days, I didn’t open the app. But the phone’s camera would turn on by itself—at 3:17 AM, while I was brushing my teeth, once when I was arguing with my partner. Each time, the red light blinked twice, then off.
