Chrystale P.O.V.
......Meanwhile, in Newark, New Jersey that same day.
I woke up as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing.
My heart beats fast and there is a buzzing in my brain, and together they are as panic with jump-leads. Only now, my brain is like a flat battery, the exertions of the night being a marathon of erratic problem-solving. And so this day will pass as if I am hungover, not from drinking, but from the nightmares that demand solutions in waking life.
Sunlight streams golden through the window in a well-mannered announcement of the rising sun. I can't believe my life has come this...I am taking orders from a runaway bossy kid. Michael doesn't see anything wrong with having a damn kid as our new leader.
Stormy is f*****g playing a grown-up
