"Good idea as any," Hunter concurred, reaching for his rolled up sleeping bag.


I followed suit, still trying to work out what didn't seem to add up with my memories. I remembered what Partain had implied back in the bar, but kept the thought at arm's length. I didn't want to get sucked into an even more paranoid thought process, where I'd start doubting my own sanity. If Partain had been right, and I'd somehow undergone one of Synchro's treatment processes, then everything was up in the air. If that had been the case, there was nothing in my world that I could believe in any more.


I looked over to Janine and Hunter, who appeared to have fallen asleep already. The fire had died down considerably. I'd been thinking for longer than I realized, but I also knew that something definitely wasn't right.

I finally fell asleep.

"What's that light?"
