I don't know how long I'd been counting, and I didn't care. I couldn't even see my surroundings now. I was lost in a world of numbers. It was beautiful. Life just faded away. It was the closest thing to death I've ever felt that wasn't death. In this world of numbers, I wasn't a girl. I wasn't mad. I wasn't anything. I was just another number, in this world full of them. I wasn't real. I didn't have to exist. It was amazing. Who needs cocaine?

I heard faint noises. The rustle of leaves. Footsteps on the ground. I ignored them all. I just wanted to stay in this world. Be calm. Be free. I heard faint yells, but they sounded miles and miles away. Just numbers. Only numbers.

A scream faltered my numbers. I lost my place and stopped counting as it echoed through my head, pulling me from the world of numbers.

"MIDORYA!"
