It was the next day. You lay in the tent on your bed having yet another sleepless night

You went out of the camp the previous night and came back when you knew the doctors would come and check on the sick people in the tents

Which was close to 4am. Even though you were avoiding the nightmare, something else clouded your mind

What was that light on top of the school?

You kept thinking about it over and over. What if it was someone asking for help? What if it was someone living at your school? It couldn't have been an accident since it was so well lit

As you stare at the ceiling thinking, you see something at the corner of your eye stop in the entrance of the tent. You lift your head up and are greeted by a familiar face

On-Jo looked around the tent, and then she turned your head towards you. You both made eye contact for a few seconds. It was awkward because of what happened the previous night between you two

She broke eye contact first and left just as soon as she had arrived. She was looking for someone, but it obviously wasn't you

You sighed and looked up to the ceiling again. With your hands laying on your stomach and you twiddling your fingers in thought

You then see something at the corner of your eye again. You reckon that it was On-Jo. Bit the figure was standing abnormally still

After a minute of seeing the figure at the corner of your eye, you lifted your head up. It wasn't On-Jo... but...

Gwi-Nam...

He was standing there. You flinched at the sight of him. You felt your heart race for a second. But then it calmed down again, and you sighed

It wasn't him... He looked the exact same way before you left him. His clothes was dirty, the scar on his eye was bloody, hair was messy. You knew for a fact it wasn't him...

You digged in a box that was placed next to you and took out a bottle of antipsychotic pills. The doctor said it was for PTSD hallucinations which you had more than once

You took out 2 and swallowed them with some water that was next to you
You then lie back down and wait for the medication to take effect

After a minute or so, you look up again to see if he was still there

He wasn't

He had disappeared into thin air just like the rest of your hallucinations

(A/N: Keep in mind that antipsychotics don't take effect immediately, and can take up to several weeks for full effect. This is just to help calm the protagonists down. So don't get any false information)

At Night~~

You had waited till nightfall until there was no doctors around. You didn't feel really tired just yet, so you were going to go back to the opening of the forest

You got up and snuck your way through the camp, making sure to avoid doctors and officials. Once you got to the back of the main building, you did the exact same thing you did before and walked down the forest

When you got to the opening, nothing had changed and was exactly same as the night before. You walk to the snack tree and sat down, overlooking the city

You looked down at your school. There was no light coming from the roof of the building. Which was strange. It couldn't have been a hallucination since On-Jo saw it to

It was weird but you shrugged it off. You took a deep breath of the mountain fresh air. And listened to the leaves

You look at the floor you were sitting on and you spotted something. It was the flare from the night before
