Both Tyler and Kaiya pondered on what possibilities could have developed from those flashbacks and dreams that Tyler had. But at every turn that they took, they usually would hit a dead end.

Kaiya was sat at the table in her dining room when she had a thought about something she saw at the hospital when she met Tyler.

“I was just thinking about something,” She said. “They said that you came in for suicidal thoughts and anxiety. But they also said that prior to that, you were pacing back and forth in the main waiting area, and you had also had an episode of some kind. Do you remember what it was?”

Tyler looked up at her and tracked back to when he was at the child protective services office.

“Well, from what I remember, I was talking about Andrea and Elise and then I suddenly had a really dark thought and vision about them being murdered, mutilated, and beaten ferociously. And that was weird, but the thing was that I have had those visions before. Those intrusive thoughts as I have read. They are very dangerous, yet they are so quick that was almost like I thought of something violent like that, then a few seconds later; it would quickly go away.”

“So, could you call a hallucination?”

“I don’t think so, I have hallucinated before. But that in my opinion wasn’t a hallucination.”

Kaiya didn’t know what to think of what Tyler said. However, it was starting to make sense about why he ended up in the hospital and why he was admitted for suicidal thoughts. Because of those “intrusive thoughts” as Tyler called them, he apparently saw himself doing violent acts of murder. Or that was what was perceived by her.

“Did you at any point feel like those thoughts could become a reality?” She asked cautiously.

She was afraid of what answer Tyler was going to give her. Having a person who has homicidal thoughts in the same room as you were not a good situation to be in.

“I couldn’t see myself acting upon them unless it was necessary.” He said. “I don’t have a reason to kill anyone. I wouldn’t kill Andrea nor Elise for no reason. In fact, I wouldn’t kill anyone for no reason. The only way that I would kill someone is if they were messing with the people that I cared about, which in this case is my sister and mother.”

With that being said, Kaiya took a sigh of relief for the time being. She was still a little on the fence about Tyler’s mental state because it hadn’t been long since he was released from the hospital, yet she still let him into her apartment, so she had to trust him somewhat.

“Are there any intrusive thoughts that you’ve had that have made you really scared? Like were they realistically possible for you to commit and would you go through with them if you had the chance?” She asked.

Tyler thought long and hard about that question. The thing was that Tyler had only had a handful of those thoughts about certain people. Like people in his school, or someone who made him angry, or anyone who he thought was messing with his sister. However, he also had made up a bunch of scenarios in his head that also caused him to have unexpected intrusive thoughts as well. So, to him, narrowing down just one intrusive thought would have been hard to do because some, if not most of them were either made up or very minute.

“Most of the intrusive thoughts that I have had were very situational.” He said truthfully. “It really depended on the situation. If I felt that someone was messing with me, I would have thoughts on beating them up or killing them, but that was a little too far even for me.”

That was the honest truth for him, he wasn’t an evil person nor was he an approachable guy either. He was very standoffish because of his childhood, but at that point, it was looking like it was all a total lie.
