Rattled by the appearance of the dark figure, Jake found himself unable to shake the feeling of dread that had settled over him like a suffocating blanket. For a week, he avoided the hospital, unable to face the possibility of encountering the sinister presence again. The staff grew increasingly concerned, their calls and messages flooding Jake's phone as patients continued to pile up, desperate for his expertise.

Amidst the relentless barrage of notifications, one message stood out—a text from Dr. Theo Evans, a colleague who had become a trusted friend during Jake's time at the hospital. Concern evident in his words, Theo expressed his worry for Jake's well-being and insisted on paying him a visit. Reluctantly, Jake agreed, his apprehension outweighed by a glimmer of hope that Theo might provide some answers.

The next day, Theo arrived at Jake's apartment, his expression a mix of sympathy and determination. Sensing Jake's unease, Theo wasted no time in getting to the heart of the matter. As Jake recounted his encounter with the dark figure, Theo listened intently, his brow furrowing with concern. When Jake finished speaking, Theo offered a reassuring smile, though it did little to ease Jake's troubled mind.

"Jake, I understand that this must be terrifying for you," Theo began, his voice gentle yet firm. "But I believe that what you're experiencing is simply a manifestation of an overtaxed brain. Your x-ray vision is an incredible gift, but it's also placing an immense strain on your body and mind. I think it's crucial that we conduct some tests at the hospital to better understand what's happening."
