I woke up and stood on the couch. My head was killing me.
(Y/N)'s mind: What the hell...
I touched my head and blood stained my fingertips. I raised an eyebrow. I looked around the room. There were old antiques all around me. There was a typewriter on the table, an old TV, and old phone and so on.
(Y/N)'s mind: Where am i?
I looked at the coat hanger and saw my coat. I tried opening the door, but it was locked.
(Y/N): Hello?
I took a few steps back, but stopped in my tracks when i stepped on something gooey. I crouched down to see what it was. When i touched it, i found out that it was blood. It was still a little sticky. Suddenly, the phone rang. I picked up the handset and put it on my ear.
(Y/N): Hello?
There was a moment of silence until i heard a whisper.
???: Detective (L/N). I do hope you're enjoying your stay.
(Y/N): Who is this? Where am i?
???: A place of relaxation... A place to empty the mind... Reflecting the past... And the future.
(Y/N): What?
???: Do be warned, detective... Some men find this place hard to leave... And she is waiting.
The person hung up, leaving me to wonder what he saw. I slowly put the handset back down. I picked up a flyer saying "Mental Health Fishing". I turned it back and saw somebody has written "Not the blue vial!". It was signed by someone named "D". I put it down and walked away from it.
(Y/N): Hmm...
I walked over to a painting on the wall to observe it.

I looked at the crow man. Then at the blue liquid. Then at the shadow.
(Y/N): I've got to get out of here.
I took my coat from the coat hanger and put it on. I adjusted my tie.
(Y/N): Right.
I began observing the room. I saw a three cube holders under a mirror. I tried to open the cabinet under the mirror, but it was locked. There were two boxes nest to the mirror. I opened the bigger one, but it was empty. I then opened the smaller one and found a key inside. I observed it and smiled to myself. I noticed the reflection of my wife in the mirror. I gasped and quickly turned around, but there was no one there. I rubbed my eyes. My wife cheated on me a few years ago. She may have been bad to me, but i still wanted to find the person who killed her. I walked over to some drawers. When i opened the first one i found a box of matches. The second one was empty and the third one had a raw fish inside it. I quickly closed it and cringed because of the smell. The fourth drawer was locked. I took the key i found in the box and managed to unlock it. When i opened it i found a small wooden cube. I took it and observed it. It had a triangle drawn on it. I put it in my pocket and went to an old antique globe. I opened it and found jars inside. I went to examine the TV. I tried turning it on, but it's wire was cut. I heard rattling coming from under a cover next to me. I removed the cover and found a bird cage with a gray parrot inside. It chirped a few times. I shook my head and covered the bird again. I went to examine the bookshelf. There were jars of human organs in it. My mind was telling me to get out of here as fast as i can. I saw a picture covered in dust. When i cleaned it, i saw that it was a picture of me and my wife. The picture used to be on my nightstand. I gently put it back down.
(Y/N)'s mind: Who could've taken it?
I took the largest book from the shelf. I found another cube inside it. It was made from iron. I took it and observed it. It had an "S" symbol on it. I put the two of the cubes i had in the cube holder under the mirror. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I noticed a small black moth on the mirror. I leaned in to take a closer look, but my reflection turned into a shadow for a moment. I got startled and fell down. I hit my head and lost consciousness.
Timeskip ???
I woke up and started coughing, trying to catch my breath. I slowly stood up while holding onto my head.
(Y/N): Damn... That was quite the fall...
The TV turned on. I turned around in confusion, wondering how it was even possible. The wire was still cut, but it was on. It was playing only static though. I switched the channels once, but it only showed more static. I switched it again and saw myself standing in the room. I swithced it again and the TV zoomed on my face. I switched it again and the TV started showing diferent scenes. One where i was laying dead on the floor beside a vile with green liquid. One of the crow man from the painting. One of my dead wife standing in a lake and holding a cube. One of a man in a deer mask. And one of a shadow starting at me. The TV stopped at a picture of the silouethe of my wife standing behind a curtain. I slowly looked to my right and saw the same curtain, with the same silouethe behind it. I stood up and slowly walked over to it. I pulled the curtain, but there was nothing behind it. I sighed. The cage of the parrot opened and startled me. The parrot was nowhere to be seen. I looked inside and saw a glass cube with a spiral symbol on it. I smiled to myself and put it with the other two cubes. The cabinet beneath the mirror opened and i was met with three vials with different coloured liquids. A green one, a blue one, and a red one. I wondered which one i should choose. I looked at the TV and saw the scene of me dead beside the green liquid. I looked at the painting and saw the spilled blue liquid. I looked at the doorknob for the exit door. It was red. I took the vile with the red liquid and opened it. I opened it and downed it. Nothing happened.
(Y/N): Ahem... What now? *Cough* That didn't help at all. *Cough* *Cough* What am i- *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*
I started coughind more and more. I fell on my knees and was about to throw up. Something was stuck in my throat. I spat out a key. I went to the exit door. I took one last look at the room before leaving. I put the key in the keyhole and unlocked the door. I opened the door. I was met with a dark forest on the other side. I walked out and looked around. The door behind me creaked and closed. I turned around and saw only the doorknob standing in the air. After a few seconds it fell to the ground. I was unsure of what to do now. I saw a figure staring at me a few meters away. It was a man with a crow head and a cane. The same from the painting.
Crow: Finally, we meet... detective.
(Y/N): Who are you?
He laughed.
Crow: Have you made the right choice?
(Y/N): I did. I escaped.
Crow: Did you really?
(Y/N): Yes! I got out!
Crow: You can't escape the boundaries of your mind... Nor the consequences of your actions. And neither can she...
The crow dissapeared.
(Y/N): Hey!
A few crows were heard in the distance. I started walking through the woods in order to find him. After some walking i reached a shore. But it wasn't night anymore. The sun was high in the sky. I looked at the huge lake before me. I felt calm, until i saw my wife standing in the water. Another version of me appered behind her. It grinned, rose a knife and slit her throat. She fell into the water.
(Y/N): NO!
I ran in the water and tried to find her. I tried to feel her body under the water, but i couldn't find it. A black cube surfaced from the water. My other version dragged me to the shore and started to strangle me.
Other me: You understand now, don't you! You killed her in your rage! Just because she cheated on you!
(Y/N): N-No... I could never...
The other me rose up the black cube.
Other me: You can't lie to yourself.
It hit me on the head and i blacked out.
Timeskip ???
I woke up and stood on the couch. My head was killing me...
