One night, a boy was sitting in his bedroom, reading scary stories on the internet. His parents had gone out for the evening and he had the apartment to himself.
After a while, he got bored and started looking around for something to do. He decided to download a random chat app and installed it on his phone.
This is a transcript of his chat:

*** You have disconnected from the chat ***
Minutes later, the boy’s dead body was found lying face down on the pavement outside his apartment building. His skull was split open and his brains were leaking out onto the road. His phone was still clutched in his cold, dead hand. He had apparently jumped from the window of his 6th floor apartment and taken his own life. No motive was found for his suicide.
When police traced the IP address of the Stranger in this chat log, it led them to a phone belonging to a teenage girl who had committed suicide two years before. Her parents said that no one had been using her phone and it had been switched off ever since she passed away. Police are baffled and the boy’s suspicious death remains an unsolved mystery…
