The Same Dream

"Same condition as the boy? He also likes to visit Haunted Houses?" Doctor Gao had managed to pique Chen Ge's curiosity.

"Low spirited with occasional outbursts. Prefers to be alone in dark places because it gives him a sense of security. Whether he likes to visit Haunted Houses or not, I'm not so sure." Doctor Gao moved to the side to reveal the young man behind him. "Men Nan, my student, he came to me with his illness about three weeks ago."

Standing under the sun, tiny droplets of sweat seeped out of his forehead. The young man seemed to be in a tense state, with his head lowered, unable to meet any one's eyes.
