 Chou woke up sitting with her back on the cold wall of her cell.

She was disoriented at first, but then the night's events came back to her in a second. She scrambled to her feet and ran to the bars of her cell.

The entire block was silent.

She ran to her bed and pressed the rusty button above. Nothing happened. She kept pressing it, until a soft voice broke through the air.

"Don't bother. We're in lockdown.'

She stopped pressing the button. "Jin?"

"Yeah."

"You okay?"

"Are you?"

"Yeah. Why are we in lockdown?" Chou asked.

A new voice- deep, slurred, and growling entered the conversation. "You have got to be ing kiddin' me."

Chou jumped. "Yoongi! What the hell was that for?" she shrieked.

A low laugh was the only reply from the nearby cell.

Instead, another slurred (but not as bitter) voice answered for her. "Not Yoongi."

"Jungkook?" Chou asked in the general direction of the new voice.

"Morning, sweetheart."

"What do you mean, 'not Yoongi?" she asked.

Another giggle from Yoongi's cell.

Jungkook sighed. "Chou, meet Suga."

Chou involuntarily backed away from the bars of her cell. "What?"

"Emotion," he answered. "Emotion is what lets Suga take hold. Last night, Yoongi let all his emotional control go when his hand was hit and became really angry. This is the result."

"Is that why we're in lockdown?" Chou asked.

"One of the reasons."

Chou needed to take her mind off Suga. "What happened to the others? Why's it so quiet?"

He laughed bitterly. "They've probably got a few gallons of sedative pumped into them, they're gonna be quiet for a while."

Chou looked towards Yoongi-Suga's cell. "Why isn't he out of it then?"

Another growling laugh- that was getting on Chou's nerves. "Because those shrinks know that if they even try coming near me they're gonna get an arm ripped off. And that would mean-"

"Shut up, Suga!" Jin screamed, interrupting the uncaring entity.

Suga took to yelling. "-And that would mean they would need to shoot all of us, wouldn't it, Jinnie?"

The voice echoed into complete silence. Chou could feel her heart pounding and her hands shaking. After a minute she couldn't take it.

Chapter 21: Oh wow! That was such an impressive story with so many twists! Especially the ending got me like wow because I definitely didn't see that coming. It was the best kind of creepy and all of their crimes and disorders were so well-thought and connected to their MV theories, I really loved that! I read your story in one-sitting because I was just too curious to read until the very end. I totally loved that you used the butterfly symbols in such different ways like on the wall in the institute, when Chou was waking up from her coma and even her name meant butterfly. It was really good.
I would like to thank you for raising awareness for mental illnesses, as one who's struggling with one, I'm always happy when someone doesn't romanticise them. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us! It was an outstanding read. <3

Chapter 21: Damnnn, I remember subscribing to this a while ago and i finally found some time to read it all in one go! It's actually really good! At first I was a bit doubtful about how you portrayed some of the mental illnesses, but im glad i stuck through it because this has been one hell of a ride! Btw, As jungkook was recounting of everyone's crimes, i was like 'this sounds familiar' and realised you were inspired by one of their mvs hahaha (as you can see i havent kept up with bts for a while), but anyway, back to the story.
It's really sad how these 'patients' were treated; i loved how every chapter was short but there was a lot of content, which, in my opinion, is so much better than a really long chapter where nothing is happening lol. The story is quite simple, but you've really managed to pull the emotions of your readers in the right places like omg, especially near the end.
One thing i didn't really like, is the alternate ending (it is an alternate ending, right?) because it's basically telling me that everything was just a dream, so it feels like my emotions were toyed with for nothing. Although it was a plot twist, i think im going to pretend that the story ended on its first epilogue; im not by any means the person who loves sad endings, but felt it was the most appropriate compared to the second. BUT, i did appreciate about the awareness for mental illness you were trying to portray; it did hit home a little, but thats another story to tell haha. It's been a while since ive read something angsty so im just a bit of a wreck right now; this angst is too overehelming for me to handle! Haha

Chapter 21: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH STOP KILLING ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE THIS MANY TIMES WITH WORDS????????
ahhhhhhhhhh I have no more energy left to do anything

Ok but seriously that was such a plot twist, where did that even come from? I'm trying to think of how you're thinking all this up in that brain of yours but at the same time Chou's brain is doing all that crazy "you won't understand what I truly am now but when you do and I tell you what I am, you'll feel rather stupid because your brain can't do this" thingamajig with the BTS members in her head and then the coma thing and how she was in a car accident which was also linked to Tae's incident AND JUST EVERYTHING IN GENERAL.

SERIOUSLY MIND IS EXPLODING INTO MILLIONS OF TINY USELESS THINGS RIGHT NOW

I am so done with you and your writing and this story and myself but I can't even pull myself away because IT'S TOO DAMN GOOD

I AM BINGING ON ALL YOUR STORIES NOW AND NO ONE WILL STOP ME
