He looks in the mirror. Trying to comprehend what exactly just happened.
All those years he thought he was the only one. The only one who could see them.
But today it was different. He met someone. Someone just like him.

————————————————————————————————————————————

As he walks down the street, he feels that something is unusual, but he can't tell what is.
While plugging in his earphones, he hears noice from down the alley he just passed by.
Curious, Sean walks a few steps back and risks a glimpse.
He quite can't believe what he sees; a human being talking to a phenomenon.

Phenomenons are beings that can't be seen with the bare human eye, that's why Sean calls them phenomenons. They are also the ones that cause you to feel sudden pain or make you feel tired, so they're not very kindhearted.

Up until now, he never saw someone like himself, that could actively see and talk to such a phenomenon. And that while the phenomenon is actually being kind!
He wants to talk to this person but fast disagrees with himself.
-What if this person is not going to just accept me being there? Would I interrupt the conversation? What are they talking about? Are they plotting something?- because of those main thoughts and many more, he leaves it be and hurries to his home.

Back at home he does the usual things: eat something, check the news while eating, brush his teeth and take a shower.
Out of the shower, he looks in the mirror. Unknowingly about what risks his actions will bring to him, he things about what happened.
