"Why do we need to go here?" a confused voice resounded from behind me, making me stop in front of the door that read 'PHARMACY' in bold letters above.
"I won't be long," is the only thing I reply before pushing on the glass door to head inside. As soon as I stepped foot through the door, Yeonjun's tail started thumping around. "Y/n," he excitedly called out, causing me to smile at his enthusiasm.
"Hey Yeonjun, how's the pack doing?"
"They're all good," he tells me with a smile, his eyes glazing over in happiness. "Anyway, what brings you here?"
I sheepishly rub at my nape as I shift my eyes over to the left before saying, "I'm actually here for a refill of an old medication I used to have."
He looks at me in concern for a brief second before he's turning to his computer to write in my name. "Antidepressants and relaxants?"
I just nod as I hand him over the note written out by Wheein.
"Are you-" he goes to ask before stopping with a guilty look across his face. "Am I struggling again?" I ask while air-quoting certain words.
It's his turn to look sheepish as he looks at me shyly with guilt flashing through his eyes.
"It's okay to ask, I won't get mad at you," I tell him softly, not used to seeing him look so guilty. "Is it to do with – you know?"
He looks at me with nothing but concern as he tries to tread lightly over the topic without resurfacing old memories.
Even without mentioning it, my eyes still betray me as I try to force a smile onto my face as he asks that question. He seems to panic once he sees the glossy sadness behind the smile. "It's okay," I force out, even as my throat feels like it's clogging up. "I'm going to have to get over it someday, I just need to find a way how."

Seeing that I didn't want to talk about it anymore, he moves to sign off the prescription before turning around to look through the shelves. "Momo is the one that stocks the shelves with people's prescriptions so I didn't know that you'd be coming in."
"Did you see the note Wheein sent through?" I asked him, confused.
He turns back to me holding a white pharmacy bag in his hand as he walks closer. "No, Momo is the one that sorts all that out. I normally just collect off the shelves, sign people's prescriptions, renew them and do medical rounds around the hospital when i have free time."
I take the bag from his hand gratefully, sending him a soft smile as he hands me a renewed prescription. "I'm sure you already know this but I'll tell you again anyway. Make sure to bring this prescription in with you when you need another refill," he says while pointing to the one in my hand. "I or Momo, probably me, will sign it off and then you will probably need another meeting with Wheein before we can give you anymore after that."
I stuff the prescription into my pocket next to my phone while nodding to everything he's telling me. "I will set up an appointment with Wheein, I don't think I did it last time."
He sighs while looking at me with a sharp gaze. "Make sure you do Y/n."
...
"What was all that about?" Is the first thing I'm asked as I step out the pharmacy doors. I just shrug, feeling too emotionally exhausted to be talking about it.
"We need to know if we're living with someone unstable," a voice snapped out.
I feel my blood boil in annoyance as I turn around with fire burning through my veins. "Do you even want to live with me?" I finally snap as I take a step closer. "Because if you don't, say now."
They all stay quiet, just staring at me shocked. "You can come with me or stay, I'm not going to force you to do anything," I tell them a bit softer as my shoulders slump further down.
"We wanna come with you."

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
