Vald wasn't as lucky. Too many images and feelings filled his mind for him to make sense of it all. He saw himself attacking his professor many times, none of them believable in the least. He saw flashes of his professor in many different situations and scenarios, unable to separate one from another. But the man in these images was different from the stern professor he'd only seen a few times, this man had an allure to him that drove Vald wild with yearning.
More people also filled his mind. A small rabbit thing that floated and turned into a human and a giant creature impossible to name. A man in jail begging for help, the same man begging for food outside a church. A man yelling at him and clearly condescending towards him. And finally a man who filled too many images to name.
The last man filled his mind and blocked out the images of the others. He felt hate and pain and friendship and respect and too many other emotions that zoomed through his mind too rapidly to recognize and name. He knew this man had done him great harm and possibly betrayed him. This man was the cause for his pain! If this man disappeared then he wouldn't have to suffer anymore! He needed to kill this man!
Vald gasped awake, his emotions overpowering him and causing his heart to race. He gasped for breath and looked around.
He was in some sort of nurse's office, but probably at the college because of where he last remembered being. No one was around but a quick glance at a clock explained why. At three in the morning everyone would be asleep, even if someone was supposed to be observing him.
Vald climbed out of the bed. He knew there was no use trying to get back to sleep, and even he managed it that his dreams would return to deprive him of any relief. Something told him that what he was looking for was nearby, and whatever it was was important enough to keep him awake.
Vald stumbled around without seeing. His head was so foggy it made it hard to process the images his eyes were receiving and the dark campus made things worse. He sensed his way to his goal, not caring where it was, but that led him though bushes and across campus. He was glad that no one had taken off his shoes, though the thought was brief because his depleted brain couldn't handle thoughts lasting longer than a flash.
He hit a wall, quite literally, shortly after he stopped thinking entirely. He knew that what he was looking for was in front of him, but that a wall was in his way. He wasn't able to think about possibly knocking on the door in the wall, or considering that maybe there was another way inside. Instead he simply collapsed and stayed lying there, with no dreams to disturb his thoughts.
Sorry for the latest chapters being relatively short, I promise to submit a longer one soon!
