「Why was this sofa placed in the corner like this?」
It was easier to ask the owner than to think about it herself, so she turned around and posed the question. The owner grimaced slightly, looking slightly uncomfortable as he began to explain.
That sofa had been placed out of view like that because it had been bought in the past, only to be returned a few days later. And that had repeated two times.
「As you can see, it’s in perfect condition and its design and color are modest, making it an easy fit for most places. It wasn’t the cheapest item on stock at the time, but one of my regular clients bought it shortly after I first got my hands on it.」
Eventually, he regained his usual cadence, telling his past with the sofa, only for his voice to become somber as he continued, 「And just a few days later…」
It did not take long for the client to return with the sofa. He had really liked it at first, so the owner asked him what had made him change his mind, and he replied, 「Somehow, I feel like I’m being watched and it makes me uncomfortable.」
「In my line of work, sometimes we come across items like that. You know, haunted antiques.」
The very nature of antiques meant that they had a lengthy past with them, involving all sorts of people, and all sorts of life events. Sometimes, people would die near those items, or become imbued with negative emotions.
