Hello! Roommate

Lily went to the hostel. It was her first time living in the hostel, far away from her home. She entered her room. The room seemed small and cramped, with a cozy atmosphere. She started putting her clothes in the closet. Suddenly she saw a girl, the same age as her, sitting on the bed. The girl said, "Hello! Roommate," and told Lily that she would be her roommate.
The girl's demeanour was strange, with a piercing gaze and an air of authority.
She further told Lily not to casually touch the things in the room. She even gave Lily a few instructions.
The girl stated coldly and authoritatively, "If you abide by my instructions, you will reside in this place peacefully. Do you comprehend?"
Lily, feeling a mix of fear and curiosity, nodded hesitantly.
Lily asked for her name. The girl leaned closer and whispered into Lily's ear. "My name is Amelia," she repeated, her voice dripping with an unsettling chill.
Someone knocked on the door. Lily opened it, and Mrs. Harper, who was in charge of the hostel, stood outside. Mrs. Harper informed Lily that another girl would be moved to her room soon. Lily informed her that the room was already quite small, and there were two girls residing in it already.
Mrs. Harper was stunned by Lily's comment. She asked her if she had been daydreaming. Lily proceeded to tell Mrs. Harper about Amelia, and Mrs. Harper revealed that Amelia was her daughter, who had passed away ten years ago.
