He chuckled, "yeah, your throat hurts a bit when you wake up..."

I didn't get why he was laughing. I was in so much pain. But it doesn't feel like something to be serious about either, just....sad. But no-one cares, really.

I smiled anyway, gotta keep the mood up!

Heh, by this point I'm going crazy.

How is this even possible?!

Still laughing.

Sigh....

He walks me over to the others, all of them smiling, but it feels like they're wearing a mask. My dad taught me about something called; depression? Doesn't matter, this is way worse.

a-alive?




Shattered smiles. Shaking mouths. Keep them up. Or else they'll taze you! Hahahaha....


Still smiling, eyes, twitching. Can't stop. Like a mask glued to your face. Can't stop.


Pain.
