Kapitel 48: The Reason

Jeremy reminisced that day. He didn't have strong feelings of guilt and fear anymore. His mom helped him get the necessary help. But he did feel grief...

The grief of losing a friend.

Alexei was a couple years older than him and he was very brave and smart. He hatched the escape plan by getting to the control room and inform someone through the radio that they were kidnapped. Mikhail was a couple years young and all he did was cry. The three boys escaped the containment area somehow and they reached the control room.

They managed to barely escape... except Alexei.....

Jeremy fisted his hand. It was tough to deal with survivor's guilt. He couldn't even meet Mikhail for years. Mikhail was affected greatly, but with the help of professionals and a lot of reflection, they got over it. The wound is healed, but still, the scar remains.
