"I'm a monster..."

The three words echoed relentlessly in my mind, tormenting me with repetition. I attempted to comprehend the startling revelation - that I was a vessel for an unknown entity, a monstrous being. The realization hit me like a jab, and I experienced a sharp pain in my chest. My legs gave way, and my breath became erratic, leading to hyperventilation. My vision blurred as I struggled to accept this shocking truth.

With what little vision I had remaining, I observed the emergence of a new entity within the office, manifesting from the same ominous red and black aura that had haunted me. Before this entity could fully materialize, I summoned every ounce of my willpower and determination to escape the room. I clutched my chest in pain as I made my way out.

Overwhelmed by a panic attack and besieged by the haunting presence of the same ominous aura. I was unable to comprehend the information I had just acquired.

Upon bursting through the doors of Herta's office, the people nearby cast concerned glances in my direction as I stumbled out, visibly out of breath.

I settled into one of the benches within the Master Control Zone, encircled by the presence of diligent researchers. I practiced a steady and controlled breathing routine, inhaling and exhaling, to restore my composure. Although my mind was abuzz with various thoughts and concerns, maintaining calmness was the priority.

My breathing gradually returned to its regular pace as my repetitive technique appeared effective. I let my gaze wander across the area and observed the researchers engaged in various activities, conversing, moving about, and immersed in their duties.

'Look at them, unaware of what I have done...' I pondered silently within my thoughts.

'If they knew, all of them would be running in fear right now...' My thoughts persisted.

'I would be arrested on the spot if they found out...' Another thought entered my mind.

I exhaled deeply, my mind filling with nihilistic contemplations. What had I transformed into, or even more so, what was I destined to become? The enigmatic entity had referred to me as a vessel, yet it claimed I was incomplete. What could that possibly mean?

Internally, I felt frustration building up as I battled the inner chaos of conflicting emotions and confusion. Another deep sigh escaped me as I sought to regain my composure and unravel the mysteries that shrouded my experiences before the Astral Express Crew's rescue.
