There's a gun pointed at my head. If I had known what would happen if I continued digging into this hole, I would've stopped.
I laughed.
I sat there, numb and lost, my memories, despite mixed, came rushing. The files—Lindsey's case files. I had seen them so many times, trying to understand her trauma, trying to help her heal. But now, something stood out in my mind.

My laugh echoed through the forest. A lifeless body in front of me. A gun in my hand.
I gripped my face.
My laugh turned into cries.
"I--huh?" My forehead furrowed, looking at the woman in front of me.
"W-Who are you?!" I panicked and moved away.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!"
My body had an automatic response. But I couldn't think straight. I thought I was pointing her the gun, I only noticed that I didn't move it from my head when I pulled the trigger.
