Drop your guard

I started to interact with other prisoners. Whether real or fake I had to do that. I learned that there are certain rules and facts here that are never spoken but must be understood; don't try to intrude if you're not invited, nobody here trusts the other, nobody here is safe and most importantly nobody here was interrogated before.

Hana, my neighbour is a middle-aged friendly lady who is awfully friendly that the other 'neighbours' were so suspicious of her being an inside investigator and they obviously were avoiding her. However, since I had nothing to lose I decided to go talk to her and one conversation led to another then those small casual conversations turned to long walks and this frequent interaction turned to a sort of friendship. one of the other neighbours once told me that Hana had been here longer than any other resident she had known. I wonder how long will I stay here? I mean where do people go afterward?! Resonance had existed since forever and people who do it were taken since then. Moreover, all stories I've ever heard about interrogating institutions were about people whom were taken and had never come back.

Hana once told me that during her stay people come and go. one day they were there and the other they were gone and new residents were given their houses. At that moment I realised it was a matter of time they're studying me, my nature, my personality.
