Chapter 24

NO. NO. NO.

I walked inside the bathroom and put my knees to my chest. I wrapped my arms around my legs.n

I was hyperventilating.

"Y/n?! Are you alright?!" I heard Finch say.

I CAN'T BREATHE.

"Take deep breaths!"

I quickly started breathing in and out.

"Deep and slow breaths!"

I started slowing my breaths. I finally managed to be able to speak, "Ab-ability: The H-hazel Wo- Wood."

"Y/n?! I saw what happened!" Finch appeared on my left knee.

"I-I.. I saw him!" I managed to choke out. "H-he.."

"It's okay! Just don't speak."

I took more deep breaths.

"It'll be okay."

"No, it won't! What is he doing here?! Why is he here?! WHY IS HE IN YOKOHAMA, FINCH?!"

"I don't know! I'm sure he didn't want to cause any harm!"

"W-wha-what if he does?! What if he hurts me again?!" I freaked out more.

"Deep breaths, Y/n!"

"I CAN'T TAKE A DAMN DEEP BREATH, FINCH! I'VE NEVER HYPERVENTILATED THIS BAD BE-BEFORE!" I said quickly. I felt so light headed, like I could blackout at any second. I've had hyperventilation attacks where I've passed out, but now I just want to stab myself in the head. Usually I want to keep myself from passing out, not this time.

"Please! Just calm down right now-"

I grabbed Finch and hugged him tightly.

He yelped in surprise.

I closed my eyes and continued crying.

I felt a feather touch the side of my face. Finch was wiping my tears.

I gripped him tighter. "Thank you.."

I had finally managed to calm down.

"It's alright." Finch looked at me.

I set him back on my knee. "I can't believe it.."

"I know, this must be hard on you.."

"I should just live in this restroom for the rest of my life.." I mumbled.

"I would've tried to calm you down the moment I sensed your fear in that cafe if I wasn't so focused on working.."

I sighed and stared at the ground. I then realized what he said, "Wait, working on what?"

"Your ability."

"What about it?"

"Well... You'll have to see it before I even tell the story.."

I sighed. "The Hazel Wood: My Little World."

"Wait a minute.."

Plain walls... Old carpet..

"WHAT?! WHY AM I IN THE BACKROOMS?!" I looked at Finch.

"I CAN EXPLAIN!"

"You better before I-" I saw something and blinked in surprise.

It was a figure that looked as if it was made with wire. It had a head that was either the shape of a large microphone or some sort of TV, I couldn't tell.

It looked at my direction.

Well, this is it.

It walked over to me and Finch.
