Stuck In A Loop

Lith lay in his futon and went over the conversation he had with the priestess and shrine maiden. 

As the night turned richer, something strange happened. 

Takk! Takk! 

A faint voice of someone hammering was heard by him. For a few seconds, it was faint, but then, gradually increased, and within a few minutes, it felt as if someone was hammering a nail into a wall right beside his ears. 

Annoyed, Lith turned around, but saw nothing that could possibly make this noise. 

'I'm not like the dumb protagonists of horror movies who would go and check what's wrong. If it's making noises, then let it be.'

Thinking so, Lith tried his best to sleep. However, after a while, he felt someone was beside him. 

A strange sense of Deja Vu filled his mind. He rolled to the side, and in the end, found nothing. Eventually, as the night turned darker, he could see faint silhouettes behind the thin door.
