"I said get off me!" I shouted frustratedly as the people around me won't stop trying to hold me down. They're the same people that I saw the other night before Winter disappeared, wearing white clothes.

"Enough, Karina!" A woman in her late-forties said. She looked at one of the younger men beside me as she ordered him. "The medication isn't working for her anymore. Try increasing her dosage."

"D-Dosage?!" I tried to push them away after realizing that I was being drugged, but the grip of the two men beside me was too strong and I couldn't break free.

"Ms. Karina, please don't be like this anymore--" A man said before he started injecting something on my right arm.

I screamed my lungs out, but everyone else who wasn't part of their team simply watched us. I was angry and I began to cry, because nobody seemed to care even though I was clearly being violated by these evil people.

"Why the hell are you doing this to me?!" I desperately asked them. "Y-You also took Winter, didn't you?! You're all nasty members of a syndicate group and I'm going to make sure that you will pay for this!"

I looked around for one last time and saw how the people became terrified of me instead. It felt like my head was about to burst the more that I tried to understand what was going on.

"M-Monster!" I heard a little boy say as he pointed at me. His mother quickly took him and ran away.

"B-But why?!" Tears won't stop falling on my cheeks as I angrily asked them. "Why am I the monster here when I'm clearly the victim?! Can't you all see that they're trying to drug me and take me somewhere?!"

The woman from earlier finally answered me. "Karina.. I'm sorry, but you need more of these medications."

"W-What?" I slowly walked towards her, even though I was still being guarded by the men. "Can you please.. Just tell me what's going on?"

She looked me in the eye and gave me a sad nod. "I'll tell you after the medications work on your system.

I was helpless and I felt so alone. My life hasn't been the best since Ningning left, but it was still fine a few days ago. I was supposed to meet with Winter and confess my feelings to her. Now, I don't even know why I got brought into this place and why they're suddenly violating me.. As if I was an experimental rat who could be injected with whatever they wanted.

And as much as I wanted to fight back, the medication started acting up on my body. I could feel myself getting weak. My vision was becoming blurry, my knees were losing their balance, and soon enough.. I slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

I woke up with a severe headache as I looked around me. I was alone in a hospital room, confined with an IV dextrose. What the hell just happened? I don't remember a single thing.

It was until Dr. Jung, my psychiatrist, entered and I somehow managed to recall some of the events earlier. I could remember fighting with two nurses, but why did I do that?

"Karina-yah," she greeted me with a little smile.

"W-What happened?" I asked.

"You've had an outburst earlier, but I think the medications are working now," she calmly answered. "You're finally back to reality."

It took me quite some time to process what she just said. "Reality?"

"Yeah.. It seems like your symptoms are acting up a lot recently," she replied before handing me a box full of several letters.
