The one moment when it all makes sense. After numerous years of being treated like an "outsider", not being able to make sense of the world around you and, therefore, being rejected by your peers, all it took was a little test. Your brain is your jailer, your punisher, your downfall. Wishing that all the whispering, backtalk and accusations were all but gone now seems like a wonderful dream once more. It seems that 1 out of 100 people live like this, seeing the world entirely differently to you and they don't know why, until that one moment. You're floating away from humanity, further away than before, further and further, until you are no longer visible to others, you have become "it", "weirdo" and "loner", and you find that you will never be able to get yourself back.
