Chapter 2: Real

Chapter Text

What is your name?

Where do you live?

How old are you?

Where do you work?

Where are you right now?

Is your heart beating?

Is your skin warm?

Can you feel my hand?

You can.

You can feel everything.

You are here.

You are present.

You are alive.

You are real.

You are okay.

For the first time in your life, you are okay.
