## Plot

On the subway home, Kurt Hansley stares at a stranger who boards the train. The stranger notices the staring and decides to introduce himself after seeing Kurt's New Wardwell knapsack. He introduces himself as Alfred Sawyer, claiming to also be a New Wardwell student. Alfred gives Kurt his number, and Kurt agrees to be friends. Once Kurt arrives home, his father, Seth, reminds him of the leftovers in the fridge. Kurt goes upstairs, hops into bed, and texts Alfred immediately. Alfred invites Kurt to hang out at Cupid's Bakery after school, to which Kurt agrees.The next day, Kurt wakes up and does his morning routine before going New Wardwell. At school, he is stopped by his childhood friend, Sadie Chao.

She is instantly able to tell that something happened to Kurt and tells him to tell her what happened to him, and then she will tell him what happened to her. Kurt tells her about his new friend, Alfred, and their upcoming meetup at Cupid's Bakery. Sadie teases him about how it sounds like a date, to which Kurt attempts to justify himself before he changes the subject back to her. Sadie excitedly tells him she was finally accepted into the Music Club and asks him to join her. Kurt reminds her that he doesn't play music anymore, which Sadie teases him again, reminding him of how he would sing his heart out to her tunes in the past, making Kurt embarrassed. After that, Sadie laughs and wishes him luck before leaving off to class.

After school, Kurt walks to Cupid's Bakery and groups up with Alfred. At their table, Velvet La Bèlla takes their order. Alfred notices an eye symbol on her dress, although he doesn't mention it, instead simply looking through the menu.

Kurt tells Alfred that he doesn't actually have any money with him, so Alfred offers to pay for it all, telling him to dine like it's his last. They order a feast of desserts and Kurt thanks Alfred for it. Alfred asks Kurt to go somewhere else with him, telling him the location is secret when Kurt asks where. Kurt ends up agreeing, and Alfred leads Kurt to his car. Inside the car, Kurt gets suspicious of the handle missing from inside of the door, but he passes it off as reading into it.

They eventually arrive at a large and old mansion far off from the rest of Ann Noveu. the antique home Alfred tells Kurt he is very interested in antiques and the occult. Kurt exclaims that he loves the occult and starts talking nonstop about it, shocking Alfred, who says that Kurt is the only person he's taken here who liked the place. Inside the mansion, Alfred tells Kurt to explore and that he will be right back. Kurt explores the mansion in awe of everything, entering each room in order. Kurt enters the room at the end of the hall that is empty compared to the others, aside from a girl lying on the ground. Kurt walks over to her and attempts to wake her; only when he turns her around she is revealed to be dead. Kurt falls over screaming and calls out for Alfred, alerting him of the dead girl. Unbeknownst to him, he brings Alfred to him, who puts a knife to Kurt's neck. Kurt gets over the initial shock quickly, escapes, punches him, and runs. Kurt runs into a room upstairs and locks the door, freaking out about what to do, while Alfred calls for him to come back, claiming he can explain. Kurt looks around for an escape and decides he can't stay in the room, so he peaks outside. Alfred is nowhere in sight, so Kurt attempts to sneak out of the house. When Kurt is near the door, Alfred throws a knife directly in front of Kurt's face. As Kurt turns around and runs, Alfred pulls the knife out of the wall and puts it to Kurt's neck again, edging him through the hallway. As they walk through the hallway, Alfred tells Kurt that he is impressed by Kurt's strength and offers him a proposition. If Kurt would help Alfred get rid of her body, he would allow Kurt to live. Kurt hits against the wall, having been edged into the room where the girl as Alfred talked. Alfred pokes the knife into Kurt's throat, making Kurt instantly yell out that he will do it. Alfred sheathes his knife into his coat and gives Kurt a pair of gloves. He tells Kurt to grab her legs, and they carry her into the forest. Once in the forest, Alfred throws a shovel at Kurt. Kurt hesitantly digs while Alfred wraps her in cloth. When they finish digging, Kurt attempts to push her in, but he is unable to do it and vomits. Alfred jokes about how Kurt will get used to it, patting his back, and Kurt glares at him. Alfred kicks her body into the grave. They finish covering the grave by night and stand over it. Kurt asks him who she was, to which Alfred nonchalantly says that she was an ex. Kurt scoffs and him and says he's going home. As he begins to walk off, Alfred says, "See you later," instantly turning Kurt's fear into anger. Kurt turns around and yells that he never wants to see him again, before running off as fast as he can.

As Alfred is walking home, he is stalked by Klavdii Marasaev. Klavdii stands behind a tree and thinks that Alfred will be happy to see him and that he just needs to gain the courage to talk to him, while scratching the tree. As Alfred walks to his door, Klavdii walks behind Alfred at a distance, just far enough to be unnoticeable.

     Klavdii speaks up, alerting Alfred, who instantly recognizes his voice. Alfred is initially shocked that he is alive and nearly drops his keys as he trembles. Alfred turns to face him and looks into his eyes, thinking that since Klavdii's eyes are "normal," he is no longer his problem. Alfred grabs Klavdii's shoulder and slams him into his door, cornering him against it with his hand. Alfred states that Klavdii's decision to come here, of all places, is stupid. Klavdii begs Alfred to be his friend again, claiming that he is worthless and doesn't mind that Alfred tried to kill him, even apologizing to Alfred for making Alfred hate him. Alfred congratulates him for surviving but tells Klavdii that he is dead to him. Klavdii begs again, stating that Alfred is all that he has left. Alfred notices that Klavdii's shirt has the same symbol as the woman from the bakery, and he immediately knocks Klavdii out.
At Cupid's Bakery, Velvet is cleaning the shop, alongside Wolfe Laurier. She thanks him for his assistance before changing the subject to how odd it is that Klavdii hadn't returned yet, saying that the others are already having trouble trusting him. Wolfe assures her that it's fine, when they suddenly hear a thud against the door. Wolfe goes to check it out, with Velvet behind him, to which they find Klavdii lying against the door, unconscious.
