Depression...

Definition?

Feelings of severe despondency and dejection.

What does that even mean?

What does it feel like?

How do you live with it?

You feel severely disconnected and thrown out from the rest of the world.

It feels like drowning. Except everyone around you is breathing. You are trapped. Lungs filling with water. Watching everyone else glancing over the muddy water of your eyes. Not noticing the girl drowning inside.

You don't. You're drowning every second of your life. It's not like we are trained marines. We cannot breathe.

Do you trust me?

No.

Why are you here?

I was forced.

No one forced you.

Yes.

No. That's impossible. No one can for you to do anything.

They did.

Who's they? Who forced you to come?

All of you.

Who are we?

I don't know. You tell me.

Come on, Jinny. Stop messing around.

I'm not. And it's Kris.

The sheet here says Jinny.

Yes, it would, wouldn't it?
