Just as Louie pulled out his phone to call for an ambulance, Elsa caught him off guard, pressing another cloth over his nose.
By the time Louie realized something was wrong with Elsa, his consciousness was already fading.
An unknown amount of time passed before Gertrude slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Effie sitting across from her.
Realization dawned. She tried to stand but was shocked to find she was tied up and couldn't move at all.
Louie was right beside her.
"Louie, Louie!" Gertrude called out anxiously.
Louie's eyes were tightly shut; he didn't respond.
"You're finally awake. I've been waiting for you," Elsa said.
Gertrude stared at the woman in front of her. "Elsa! It's you, isn't it?!"
Elsa let out a soft laugh and pulled down her mask. "Yes, it's me."
She had waited for Gertrude to wake up just to see her reaction.
Gertrude's eyes narrowed. "What do you want?"
Elsa produced a fruit knife from behind her back. "As you can see, I'm here to send you to the afterlife."
A chill ran down Gertrude's spine. She had never seen Elsa look so alien.
"You're insane!" Gertrude exclaimed. "Murder gets you life in prison! If you leave my house right now, I can, for old times' sake, agree not to press charges."
"Old times' sake? Did we ever have that?" Elsa chuckled. "Besides, I've already killed three people. Adding you two just means I won't be going to hell alone."
