"Hey Hernhea, got any news 'bout Kessler?" Toby asked Hernhea when he saw her at the corridor just right outside their room. She looked at him but she didn't answer, she turned her back and walked inside instead. "What the?"
"What happened to her dude?" Court Louise suddenly appeared beside him.
"Who knows? I was just asking her about Kessler."
"Ohh? I think she can't accept the fact that Kessler's gone crazy." He said and chuckled.
"Shut up." It was Lyka. "I know Kessler's been acting weird lately but I don't think he can do that to Joaquin."
"Lyka's right, Kessler's a good guy. I know he's innocent." Zelo added as he went straight to their room.
Both Toby and Court Louise looked at each other after that scene. They just shrugged and decided to enter their room afterwards.

I'm starting to get used in this place, nah what am I saying? I hate this place and I wanna get out of here as soon as possible, if that is even possible.
Is what he is thinking right now. It's been three days since Scheheredane's mom talked to Kessler and he's been waiting for her to come back.He doesn't even have the slightest idea if she will still help him bust out of the asylum. He's just standing by the door waiting for her to pass by but he was not able to see even her shadow. Sigh, a deep endless sigh is the only thing he can do.
TIK! CLANK!
"Hm?" He looked behind him when he suddenly heard a sound and there he saw something on the floor right beneath the window. He started walking towards the window and there he saw clearly what fell inside his room. "Gas mask?" He was wondering why there's a gas mask inside his room and on how did it get there. He picked it up and he saw something written on it saying 'Wear this before 11:55 PM'. He took a glance at the wall clock and it's already 11:50 PM.
"I don't know what's gonna happen but I'll trust on this one." He wore the mask and waited, he's staring at the clock and when it hit 11:55 PM, people started screaming. Also, he can see the orderlies and staffs running outside the room. "What the hell is going on here?" He whispered.
"Hey! Let's get outta--
BLAG!
The orderly fell on the floor when someone hit him from behind. Kessler saw someone who's also wearing a mask like him.
"Let's go kid, what are you waiting for?" It's Dr. Santiago, a smile form on his face when he heard her voice. He immediately walked towards her and both of them started running, he can see bodies on the floor. She noticed that Kessler's been staring at the bodies. "Don't worry, they're just unconscious." They continue running until they reach the parking lot. They looked around and when they see no one, they immediately moved towards the doctor's car.
"Okay, I've done my part now Kessler. Now, I really don't understand what Scheheredane means but she wants me to tell you that there's a great danger ahead of you." She said as she removed her mask. He grabbed something on the backseat and gave it to Kessler.
"What's this Dr. Santiago?" He asked while looking at the bag.
"Clothes, also-- here." She handed out money.
"No, getting out of that place is more than enough for me. I can't accept that--
"Take it." She insisted as she put the money inside the bag. "You have to go now, okay?" He nodded and he get off the car afterwards. He's walking slowly away from the car when something fell out of the bag. His eyes widen when he saw what he thought he wouldn't see ever again--
a card.
It took him a while before he picked up the card and he started reading what's written on it after.
"I did my thing, you are now free. But you can't do yours and it's meant to be. I helped you, can you help me?" Sweat started to flow down his head, this is not a riddle. This is a question, he knows the answer already. He turned his head and he saw the doctor waving at him with a smile on her face but it's not the only thing he's seeing right now. He can also see a black entity sitting beside the doctor.
"Oh no, no, no." He started running back to the car when suddenly--

The car exploded and's now engulfed by a blazing fire.

He was shocked at what he saw, he fell down on his knees and tears started to pour down his cheeks. "Fuck!" He kept on punching the ground while cursing. "Why her? Why?" He's all weak and tired but he needs to get out of there immediately, he stood up and he's now hearing sirens from afar. It's probably the fire truck and maybe the police too. "I need to get out of here fast." He said and walked towards the woods. After he changed his clothes, he hailed a cab and decided to go home.
