The Escapee
A man that was thought to be dead continues to walk through the dim tunnel. There were no lights, so he didn't know how he could see because earlier it was pitch black as a cavern.
He felt nauseous from what he thought was dehydration. He feels his neck where he was attacked by something.

██████ crawls out of a hole
In the first time in months, he sees the blinding daylight.
"██████...?" says a familiar voice. Something
A sees a woman walks over to him as he turns around. She hugs him and lets go with her hands being placed on his shoulders.
"I went to your funeral. We thought you were dead!".
She was met with silence. "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Leave me here..., Makayla."
"What?"
"This may be weird...," the man responds. "but I feel like if I can go back, it would be different."
"What are you saying?"
"Haven't you seen the news lately? On everyside of the world, there is a war happening. There's nothing we can do about it because it hasn't been caused by an ████████."

A shadow looms over a nurse that was taking the man's vitals. He turned around. It was a man. "Want some?" he asked, holding up a bottle. "I was going over your results here and it turns out you're just severly dehydrated."
"What is it?" asked the man.
"Oh, it's just lemonade." replies the nurse as he hands over the bottle to him.
The man takes the bottle and drinks out of it.
"So, you're gonna put me in ███████████?" ██████ says looking down.
"Hm?" responds the nurse.
The man asks if the place that he was in was like his business. "You have protocols for—"
"We've heard of that location, so I assume that could be the case.". The nurse pauses, until "You know," he begins.
██████ looked up to see him partially remove his facemask to reveal a wide mouth with jagged, sharp teeth. "What the—"
The nurse(?) giggles. "We're not so different you and I. "Just have a word with our boss, he'll understand.""
