Prologue

"Now, i know it's going to take a lot but... can you tell me that one major reason which gives you such heavy feelings?" Dr. Moore asked with nothing but concern and curiosity in her eyes.

I was taken aback by her question, although i remained calm. I wanted to say that i don't know, or maybe pretend that i don't. But i know for myself that if i want this to work, i would have to cooperate with her. And that includes me answering all her questions honestly and thoroughly.

I mean, it's not that hard. Or is it?

"Seven." i answered quietly.

"You have seven reasons?"

"No... the reason is Seven..." my voice getting softer by the minute.

"I don't understand." she stated, looking genuinely confused.

I hesitated for a bit. Should i tell her? I feel like this is the point in a video game where i have to choose for the right option or else i'd ruin everything. A lot of things will change for sure. I'm not even ready to answer all the questions she'll throw my way after these words. But i know i have to someday. And that someday is today.

I breathed deeply. Then i looked up to meet her eyes.

"His name... his name is Seven."
