Her Who Lives Next Door Ep. 17: Mother's Final Redemption

The white-clad woman's hands pierced through the layers of darkness enveloping me. That warm touch melted away my resentment like thawing ice and snow, purifying it rapidly. Innumerable evil spirits within me vanished amidst screams, and my distorted, blood-stained face began to regain its original human form. "Are you... Mom?" I asked, my voice trembling, as scalding tears welled up in my eyes. Deep within my mind, a true memory, one that had been completely erased, finally resurfaced. Forty years ago, this building wasn't an underground clinic but an ordinary residence. My mother gave birth to me here, but soon after, people from the clinic forcibly took over, brutally murdered my mother, and sealed her within the walls. Before she died, my mother used her final obsession and maternal love to create a small barrier deep within Room 404, preserving the purest initial state of my soul. This is why I was chosen after moving into this apartment; it wasn't a coincidence, it was destiny. "Child, end all this. Don't let fear continue to consume you, nor let this place ruin the world." My mother's voice was filled with endless sorrow. She took my hand and led me towards the crib where an infant lay. If I merged with my original self, the core of Room 404 would completely collapse, but this also meant I would turn to ashes along with all the vengeful spirits here.
