Keem has suffered from schizophrenia since he was 4 years old and because of this he sees the world in a way that normal people can’t do. He lives in a wealthy family so if people don't bully him they try to use him for his money. Unfortunately for them Keem is a very quiet person, he didn’t want to give those people what they wanted and for this he always came home with bruises all over him, his mother seeing him every day like this she grew mad and almost sued the school but didn’t since Keem told her no to. One day his mother received a call from the principal saying that he put 3 kids in the hospital. When she got there she saw Keem with a nose bleed, cuts and some blood on his hands that wasn’t his. Hours later they got to the conclusion that because the school didn’t do anything when he was getting bullied they ain’t going to pay the hospital bills. In the end he ended up changing schools.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUm38CPydz
That was when he was 11, now he’s 17. Now whenever he can't sleep he goes for a walk and today is one of those days. He took his pills and checked on his mom, she was tired because of all the work recently. He escaped successfully from his home and decided to go to a haunted place one hour from his house. Places like this were comfortable for him, there you don't know what exactly is reality and he liked that. He arrived at an abandoned house and decided to look outside first. He found a black cat with two little scars on one of his eyes and covered with leaves, he got closer to the cat and stood at it for a second, he then grabbed it and broke one of his paws to test if the cat was real or was just his “imagination”, seeing that the cat was real he decide that it was enough of that night so he take the cat with him and went home. The next day his mother didn’t say anything aside from asking where he found the cat.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1kl9FjpMl
A couple days later, seeing that he couldn't sleep, he went to the same place again but now with Lotus, by the way he’s better now. He decides to enter the place since the last time couldn’t, he puts the cat on his shoulder and walks around for a while. The majority of the windows are broken, the ceiling is on the floor and there is not a place where the rats haven't been. He looked at the entire first floor like he was looking for something and finding nothing he decided to go to the second floor but walking up the stairs he starts to feel dizzy. He try no to pay attention to it but when he took another step it got worse and now he has a headache. A couple of minutes passed by and now that he’s feeling better he got up and continued walking, entering the second floor he only sees 2 doors, one on his right and the other one at the end of the hallway and of course he chooses to enter the one at the end of the hallway. Opening the door he can see that everything is a mess but he still wants to search the whole place, he lets the cat down and puts his attention in the shield which is filled with old books until he feels that he’s being watched, he looks around and notices something in the door of the closet.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAI8ltGWz
“A… face?”239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNPCpmtm7h
He says and immediately fades. Hours later at the feeling of something wet and warm on his face Keem woke up, it was Lotus licking his face, he picked him up and got out of the room. Walking down the stairs he looked at his watch, what he felt was 3 hours in reality was 2 minutes, he was a little bit confused but didn’t want to give much thought about it since he was tired.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0gq0Wjry6
He was about to take his pills before heading out until his mother entered the room, she noticed that Keem has going out at night recently, they talk about it and she told him that she wasn't mad at him for going out at night she was mad because he didn’t tell her ahead of time so she know where he at if something happen, they made an agreement and then he left the house but this time he left Lotus with his mom.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2JH8q8rQy
At the place. He walk up the stair but today he’s not feeling dizzy or have a headache so he continue, tonight he dices to look in the room at his right first but it’s looked, he kick it but it didn’t work, annoying by it he went to the other room and try to look for a key or something to open the door until he saw something in the corner of his eye, he look at the closet and saw a person sitting in front of it, he look at him for a second and then continue to look for something in the drawer.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsHOXPSq4n

Ray’s lifeless white eyes wide open at this thought. He was the only person to come this far. Ray wanted to talk with him but he doesn’t know if he should, it's been a long time since he talked to someone so he just couldn’t help staring at him and even if he didn’t say anything the salient wasn't that awkward. He didn’t want this to end but it has to. Ray notices that he found the key in the drawer, he didn’t want him to leave, Ray didn’t want him to go through the same thing as he did.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzV1W2u8Oc
“Don’t- go… .”239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7P1SD00dF
Ray says, looking down, he couldn’t believe the words that came out of his mouth, they were the first ones in a long time. If he manage to hear him that would be like a dream for him and that dream came true, he lift his head when he hear that the footsteps stopped but his eyes encounter something that give him chills, he was looking at him sideways, his purple eyes were cold and with no intention of looking at him in a human way. He didn’t know what to do until he heard footsteps getting closer to him and without a warning he got stabbed in the face but the knife went through his head ending up in the closet door. Ray just stood there in shock at this, how many years have passed since he felt something that isn’t pain, since he came he changed his whole world, he gave him curiosity, sadness, expectations and happiness, emotions that he forgot a long time ago and because of this he got nervous about making the right decision.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4nTsZxaIE
‘It’s ok for me to be this selfish?’239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZskJZAHlRu
He wanted to be with him, to protect him and be by his side even knowing that he’s dead and can’t leave the place. He’ll make sure to punish himself for this but that doesn’t matter anymore and before he could even get up Ray grabs him by his cheeks. Crying a little bit of blood and with a smile on his face he says.239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqlGso035
