I ran…
My breath was uneven, broken.
I tried to calm down… but I couldn't.
The air was cold.
Yet my body burned.
I stopped for a moment.
My hand…
I slowly looked at it.
Blood.
So much blood.
My eyes widened.
My fingers trembled slightly.
"I…"
My voice came out weak.
"What… did I do?"
A step back.
Then another.
My head started to ache.
Images… flashes… screams…
Their laughter.
Their stares.
Then… me.
That smile.
Those eyes.
I grabbed my head tightly.
"No… no…"
"I'm not like this…"
Or…
Did I become that person?
Do I have two selves…
Or was I always like this?
I ran again.
This time…
It felt like I was running away from myself.
I reached home.
I opened the door quickly…
Then entered quietly.
Everything was calm.
As if… nothing had happened.
I walked into my room.
Stopped.
Stood in front of the mirror.
My hair was messy.
My face pale… exhausted.
Blood stains… on my hands… on my clothes.
I should wash them.
But…
That wasn't what shocked me.
I stepped closer.
My eyes…
I focused.
For a brief moment—
They glowed.
Blue.
Faint…
But clear.
I froze.
Then stepped back immediately.
"No…"
I whispered, my voice shaking.
"That's not me…"
Did I change…
Or am I still the same?
I slowly sat on the floor.
My room felt suffocating.
My thoughts… still spinning.
I raised my hand… staring at it.
This hand…
It's the one that…
I stopped.
I couldn't finish.
My heartbeat slowly calmed…
But the feeling?
Worse.
"Mira…"
Her name slipped out with difficulty.
I closed my eyes.
Her voice…
Her laughter…
Everything came back at once.
If she saw me like this…
What would she say?
I opened my eyes slowly.
Looked down.
Then…
I smiled.
A faint… strange smile.
"It's not over…"
I whispered to myself.
"It's not over yet."
I tried to justify it.
I was defending myself…
But…
I hurt them.
Did they deserve it?
It feels like…
Someone is watching me.
A stranger.
Trying to know everything about me.
Since I was young…
Even when I tried to stay away…
Maybe they were always there.
Hidden.
I can feel it…
But I'm not sure.
Maybe…
News will spread soon.
A mysterious violent incident.
But one thing is certain…
I'm not the only one.
There are others.
Levels… differences…
Something bigger.
I'll watch carefully.
Tomorrow…
I'll see what happens.
The next day…
I lifted my head slightly.
Still alone in my room.
My parents tried to understand what happened…
But I said nothing.
I told them I was sick…
And sad because of Mira.
They didn't doubt me.
They believed me.
I stepped outside.
My feet led me back to the same place.
The same street…
The same silence…
But the feeling?
Different.
I walked closer, slowly.
My heart was calm…
But my mind?
Restless.
It felt like…
Someone was watching me.
From somewhere hidden.
I turned quickly.
No one.
But the feeling…
Didn't disappear.
My mind tried to understand it.
Something beyond what I could grasp.
Something… that was there since yesterday.
Somewhere far above…
A figure stood in the shadows.
The wind moved his coat gently…
Strands of his hair swayed in silence.
His eyes…
Glowed in the darkness.
A fixed gaze.
Sharp.
"Hmm…"
His voice was low.
Calm… yet unsettling.
"A strange power…"
He tilted his head slightly.
As if analyzing.
"Unstable."
A faint smile formed on his lips.
Mysterious…
Cold.
"But… interesting."
He disappeared.
As if he was never there.
At the same moment…
I kept walking.
My phone vibrated.
I looked at it slowly.
A new notification.
"A mysterious violent incident shakes the area…"
"Several severe injuries… the attacker remains unknown."
My eyes froze on the screen.
Silence.
"It started…"
I whispered.
