Run Off

Yu Zhen kneeled before her, grabbing her shoulders before it hit the ground. Except, she wasn't unconscious. She had balled up her body, rocking back and forth like an estranged child.

"It's not real, it's not real, it's not real!" she mumbled under her breath, covering her ears.

Yu Zhen didn't think she would react like this. He thought he would spook her a bit before revealing the truth. 

She would not stop trembling.

"Sunshine, what's wrong?" Yu Zhen quietly asked. He attempted to stop her bizarre behavior, but it only worsened.

"It's not real, it's not real, monsters aren't real, Bai Xueyue."

Bai Xueyue? Yu Zhen narrowed his gaze. So they weren't lying to him. He had the right targets.

Yu Zhen needed to do something. Was this a panic attack? He had never witnessed one before. Not knowing what to do, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her, but she struggled. Clawing, kicking, punching, she did all she could.
