I woke up feeling the sun from the open Curtin burning my face, I don't even remember falling asleep, I never do, I forget things a lot, sometimes I feel like my memory's getting erased slowly being filled by these new fake thoughts and scenarios I make up in my head.

I turn my head away from the sun seeing ouro awake and feeling better, I felt bad not doing anything for him when he collapsed yesterday, I muster up the energy I have left to get out of bed, I walk into the kitchen where ouro is sitting drinking coffee.

I make a coffee as-well sitting in-front of him, he looks up at me looking better than he was yesterday like I just dreamed it all, ouro opened his mouth finally letting out the words I've been waiting to hear, "I'll tell you what happend".

First ouro apologies for keeping me waiting, he cant speak when he uses his powers, his hearings fades slowly after using them, then he collapses, like he does then gets reborn.

"I have a power, something god like, something no human has ever seen" I was interested but not surprised after seeing everything I saw yesterday, "it's not just teleportation, it's telekinesis, mind reading, but I haven't unlocked all of them and I don't know how to use them properly, I want to help people with them, the people in the toxic zones"

is that why he saved me, "that's why I saved you, I felt something was going to happen so I grabbed the closest person and saved you but everyone else is..."  dead, I knew that, he saved someone as useless as me, someone without a will to live, someone with no family, no friends, nothing special.

thinking about these things made me remember him mentioning mind reading hoping he wasn't listening to my thoughts, my thoughts where my safe place, I tried to stop thinking completely after that, ouro stared at me sadly, I didn't know what to say, I'm not good at these situations, I make things awkward, I wish I could just disappear.
