"Consumed by Fear"
Part 3
I whimpered, my body shaking uncontrollably as I lay on the bed, my eyes scanning the empty room for any sign of Hange. The silence was deafening, and I felt like I was drowning in a sea of loneliness. My mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts, but they all boiled down to one thing: Hange was gone, and I was alone. I let out a high-pitched cry, my body arching off the bed as I reached out for him, but he wasn't there. I was met with nothing but empty air, and my cry turned into a wail. I was scared, so scared. I didn't know how to be without Hange. I didn't know how to breathe without him. My thoughts were fragmented, like a newborn baby's. I couldn't think straight, couldn't reason. All I could do was feel, and what I felt was fear. Fear of being alone, fear of being abandoned, fear of being unloved. I shivered, my body trembling with each passing moment. I tried to get out of bed, to find Hange, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. They felt like jelly, weak and unresponsive. I collapsed back onto the bed, my body wracked with sobs. I was so scared, so alone. As I lay there, I began to rock back and forth, my body swaying to some unheard rhythm. I was trying to comfort myself, but it wasn't working. I was still scared, still alone. I whimpered, my voice rising to a crescendo as I felt like I was losing myself. I didn't know how much more of this I could take. I didn't know how much more I could be alone. I needed Hange, I needed his touch, his voice, his love. Without him, I was nothing. As the minutes ticked by, I became more and more disoriented. I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. I didn't know if Hange was coming back or if I was just imagining it. All I knew was that I was scared, and I was alone. I let out a tiny mew, my body shaking with fear as I curled up into a ball. I was a baby, a helpless, scared baby, and I needed Hange to hold me, to comfort me. I needed him to make everything okay again. As I lay there, I felt like I was disappearing, like I was fading away into nothingness. I was consumed by fear, and I didn't know how to escape. All I could do was wait, wait for Hange to come back, wait for him to make everything okay again.
