Five housewives created an anonymous chat to gossip about their new neighbor. They thought he was strange, at least because he wore the clothes of the previous tenant. One day, everything changed. One of the women in the chat was not who she pretended to be, and neither was their neighbor.

DAY 1 (Oct’ 27) – NEW NEIGHBOR
@LadyLilac: 10:00 a.m

Hi, ladies! I created this anonymous chat on our neighborhood site just for us housewives so we can freely discuss topics that concern us. Today’s agenda is our new neighbor. He’s been acting very strangely.

@CrimsonQueen: 10:02 a.m

Hi, @LadyLilac. Finally, someone made a space for this! This new neighbor, Mike, really raises a lot of questions. Yesterday, I saw him peeking over my fence. That’s just unacceptable!

@StarryEyes: 10:04 a.m.

Hello, everyone! I think he’s weird, too. He gave my kids candy without asking me. That really worried me.

@GreenGoddess: 10:06 a.m.

Good day! What really shocks me is that he’s wearing the clothes of the former owner and acting exactly like him. The former neighbor left so abruptly that no one noticed, and now this guy has just taken over his life.

@ShadowWatcher: 10:08 a.m.

Hi, everyone. Maybe he just hasn’t had time to move his things yet? Let’s not jump to conclusions.

@CrimsonQueen: 10:10 a.m.

@ShadowWatcher, do you really think so? I find it hard to believe someone would so easily wear someone else’s clothes.

@LadyLilac: 10:12 a.m.

You might be right. But I think we should give him a chance. Someone should go and talk to him. Meanwhile, let’s throw a Halloween party and invite him, too. It’ll help us learn more about him.

@StarryEyes: 10:14 a.m.

I agree. That’s a good idea. We can get to know him better.

@GreenGoddess: 10:15 a.m.

Agreed!

@CrimsonQueen: 10:16 a.m.

Someone should distribute invitations to Mike and others so as not to arouse suspicion. Halloween is a great cover.

@LadyLilac: 10:18 a.m.

Great! I’ll handle the invitations. Don’t forget to prepare your dishes and bring them to Lucy’s yard since she always hosts the parties.

@ShadowWatcher: 10:22 a.m.

Sounds good. Time to buy decorations and costumes. See you, ladies!

DAY 2 (Oct’ 28) – NEIGHBOR’S CLOTHES

@LadyLilac: 10:00 a.m.

Good morning, everyone! So, did anyone see Jane yesterday? She didn’t show up for our meeting.

@ShadowWatcher: 10:02 a.m.

I heard she left town for a few days, but she’ll help with anything remotely.

@CrimsonQueen: 10:03 a.m.

OK, did anyone talk to Mike? He was acting strange again.
