Quick rundown on what happened while I was inactive.

I want to apologize for being incredibly inactive on the channel and in this account.

It's safe to say that I haven't gotten better. I'm still having these strange hallucinations and headaches... at least that's how it feels.

Unfortunately, we haven't gotten anything of value yet. The kid still wouldn't speak or do anything to communicate with us. I even asked him to remove the mask, but he resisted, as if whatever was on his face had to be hidden.

J, however, started feeling better. But I still feel the same... except... it's not as how it was before???

I'm not sure if I'm saying this correctly, but my body would shake out of nowhere, and my mind would tell me it's fine and that I should keep going.

Honestly, I don't know what to do. I can't find anything of value and I can't get anything out of this kid... I even considered ending the entire investigation, fearing it would lead to my death.

...

I just want to find my friend. Is that so much to ask?
