Diana is the type of person who focuses on the logical side. But at this moment, she couldn't think of any logical reason that would explain her situation. Right before she took a nap, she definitely knew that it was the year 2017. How did she go three years into the future?

She also couldn't apprehend the fact that she died 2 years prior. She couldn't think of anything that would be a reason for her death, unless she had an underlying disease she doesn't know about.

"What... what do you mean I died almost 2 years ago?"

Carly took another deep breath, which made Diana feel uneasy by her actions. If it was an unfortunate accident or maybe a terminal disease, she would understand that she died. It was something beyond her control.

"This is hard for me to say this, Dee," the older roommate starts off. "You... you committed suicide, you killed yourself."

This leaves Diana baffled. Everything was happening so fast, she couldn't pace herself with it. How can she understand all these situations when she doesn't even know how she got here in the first place?

She starts feeling lightheaded, maybe it's because of everything that happened in the past hour. "I'm sorry, I just need a breather from all of this. It's just hard for me to process all of this. I think you also need to calm yourself down, you must be scared that I suddenly went out of my room."

Diana feels a cold breeze as she exits the apartment building. It felt like a cold slap in the face for her, it was a sign that she's still alive and breathing.

She looked at her surroundings, it did change quite a bit. There are a few restaurants across the complex that she doesn't recognize. The convenience store at the corner of the street was still there, she felt relieved as she didn't know where to go.

It was a good thing that Diana still had some change in her pocket as she got herself a hot bowl of instant cup noodles. She didn't realize she was hungry until she smelled the aroma of the broth. She ate the whole thing in minutes which felt like seconds. She sighed as she thought of the strange situation that happened earlier.

She looked at her receipt, it stated the year 2020 and not the year 2017 that she was living in just hours ago. She thought of how she got here in the first place, but couldn't think of any factor that would have caused it.

She then goes to the next chain of thought which is how she died. It's impossible of her to do such a thing. She knew herself through and through. Even if there was something that was bothering her so badly, she still wouldn't do such a gory act.

With her meal finished, she didn't want to go back to the apartment just yet. To Diana, that apartment was her second home. She treated Carly as if she was her older sister, but now, it feels like she just saw a haunted ghost.

She decides to explore the block a bit more. Aside from the restaurants that she saw earlier, there's also a bakery. Entering the bakery hit her with the sweet smell of bread and pastries. Diana has always wanted to bake, she just didn't have enough time to do it.
