This man makes instant ramen every morning. But strangely, he doesn't eat a single bite.
All you have to do is take pictures with your smartphone and post them on social media.
It was as if I was trying to convince myself that I was alive.
And this week has been going on for a whopping eight years!
But that's not for my own sake.
It's to reassure my parents, who are on the other end of the phone.
Because the real owner of this cell phone is already dead.
Yes, this guy in front of me is just a perverted murderer.
He has killed one woman after another to satisfy his twisted desires.
The method is industrial, and the success rate is 100%.
He poses as a cell phone repairman and lures girls into his shop.
They used sweet words like, "Screen repair is free."
But in reality, they secretly install a monitoring app while the car is being repaired.
I think the girl is lucky.
They said they'll fix the screen for free.
But I don't know.
From that moment on, I realized that Jack could see every part of me.
When the room became completely silent, the smartphone by my bedside started scrolling on its own.
Then he frantically reads through the chat history.
Jack meticulously records Susan's daily life, preferences, and even her habits.
I went out of my way to visit her shop and played the same game for her.
Of course, Susan doesn't notice anything.
And yesterday, while I was away from home for work,
Jack sneaked into her room.
It was as if I were a part of Susan's life.
They rummage through the room's contents as they please.
But he didn't know.
At that time, when I was encroaching on other people's lives,
I realized that footsteps had been quietly creeping into my room as well.

Original transcript (Japanese)
この男、毎朝カップラーメンを作る。 でも不思議なことに、一口も食べない。 やるのは、スマホで写真を撮って、SNSに投稿。 まるで自分は生きてるって、そう予想をために。 そしてこの週間、なんと8年も続いてる。 けど、それは自分のためじゃない。
スマホの向こうの両親を安心させるためだ。 なぜなら、この携帯の本当の持ち主は、もう死んでる。 そう、目の前のこいつは、ただの変態殺人鬼なんだ。 病んだ欲望を満たすために、次々と女性を手にかけてきた。 手口は工業、成功率は、お100%。
彼は携帯修理屋を装い、女の子を店に誘い込む。 画面修理タダですよ、って甘い言葉で。 でも実際は、修理中にこっそり監視アプリを仕込むんだ。 女の子はラッキーだと思う。 無料で画面直してもらえだって。
でも知らないんだ。 その瞬間から自分の全てがジャックに覗かれてることを。 部屋が静まり返った頃、枕元のスマホが勝手にスクロールを始める。 そしてチャット履歴を、狂ったように読み漁る。 ジャックはスーザンの日常、好み、癖まで記録していく。
わざわざ彼女の店に行き、同じゲームをプレイしてみせる。 もちろん、スーザンは何も気づかない。 そして昨日、仕事で家を開けたその隙に、 ジャックは彼女の部屋へ忍び込んだ。 まるで自分がスーザンの人生の一部みたいに、
部屋の物を好き勝手に漁っていく。 けど、彼は知らなかった。 他人の生活を侵食していたその時、 自分の部屋にも、静かに足音が忍び寄っていたことを。
