Allow me to introduce myself.
I’m Gray – and no, despite rumors to the contrary, I'm not the campus crush.
Far from it, actually. I find myself cloaked in descriptors like
"geek" and "nerd," all thanks to my penchant for eccentric
eyeglasses and a wardrobe dictated not by fashion, but by parental preferences.
Oh, and my consistently high academic performance certainly adds to the
stereotype.
Yang, my singular companion,
is a beacon amidst all of this. She lends me an ear for my most bizarre
thoughts and gently offers her advice. Yang understands me in a way that others
simply don’t. Unlike the mischievous youngsters who never miss an opportunity
to mock me, she sees beyond the superficial.
But today, something is amiss.
Yang, who always greeted me near the school entrance, is nowhere to be found.
An unfamiliar emptiness fills the two days – Saturday and Sunday – and now,
Monday is tainted with her absence.
An idea strikes me. I'll call
her! But wait, she doesn't have a phone, rendering that plan moot. My mind
whirls as an unfamiliar emotion courses through me. Could it be... love?

Suddenly, the narrative
shifts. I find myself in a stark white room, confusion clouding my senses.
"Where are you, Yang?" My voice is barely a whisper, despair creeping
through every syllable.
The appearance of people in
white uniforms intensifies my fear. Pain and anguish collide within me, but
why? Why am I here? Why are they coming towards me?
