Chapter XXI
But I'm a creep
Rey is sleepless most nights.
That's to say, how could she possibly explain her neighbor's death exactly after her encounter with Ben on the building? Certainly, she was already an old lady, and the autopsy revealed she died painlessly from old age…
But what about the man on the street?
And the man Ben murdered in front of her? Even if Rey had said that his accomplice had been the one responsible for the murder ("he owed his partner money, something along those lines, didn't quite get it") and covered up for Ben, she doesn't doubt for a second he was the one who killed him.
And, indeed, the fact that no one, absolutely no one, knows about his existence and his absence from the recording where she seems to talk to herself.
What's going on with you, Ben?
