After he becomes a medicine apprentice, he begins to have unusual dreams. He begins to grow paranoid because it feels like the dreams are following him, and there's constantly something he needs to talk about.
The problem is that he doesn't have anyone to talk to. His leader has never wanted to listen to him speak, even as a medicine cat. The deputy is always busy, and his mentor is only focused on his academics more than anything.
At one particular Gathering, he meets a new apprentice, who is welcoming, and much more than he's used to. he begins to see her and thinks about opening up about his odd dreams, as they're getting more intense and desperate.

but that's against the warrior code, right?..
