Relaxation? I think not

I awoke during season three. It was seven in the morning. Lilia was watching intently, when she notices me stirring from my coma of sleep and weird dreams from the mess my doctor gave me. "Mornin' sunshine!" She beams.
My mom comes in the room and hands Lilia something. Her face lights up. She shows me and I look at my mom, giving her a big hug. It was tickets to the local spa. (There really isn't an "industry" for that. Your goal is to get an industry job as they pay more, but other jobs are available in case you hate the job you're assigned).
Me, Lilia, and my mom walk into the spa and immediately feel a sense of relaxation. A masseuse takes us in and, well, massages us. We sit in the waiting room, waiting for our next treatment, when all of a sudden, we hear gunshots.
Everyone gets down under the tables, couches, anything they can find. I see a man walk in holding a gun. "APRIL ZERONY" I blink. "Am I hallucinating?" I think to myself. The man laughs a psychotic laugh. "April I know you're here just come out silly!" I here the clicking sound of the gun reloading. "Fine then." He starts shooting randomly. I see people fall to the ground wounded. I can't do this. "WAIT!" I scream crawling out from behind the couch. I look at Lilia and hug her. I look at mom and kiss her. "What do you want?" I sigh. He comes up so close to my face I can smell his breath. It smells like a mix of cigarettes and alcohol. "I'm not gonna kill you. Here's why: it's fun to torture people I don't like. It's as simple as that. I don't like you little girl. In fact, I resent you, DESPISE you even. So watch your back." While he's talking, I study his face. He sounded like he was in his thirties. He looks like he's sixteen, the same age as me. In fact he looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. He walks out of the spa, but before he does he growls, "if ANYONE calls the police," then storms out. I have another panic attack and black out.
