🧠 **Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 10: The Dream Before Dawn**
That night…
I didn’t just sleep.
I *traveled*.
---
In the dream, I was standing in a **white corridor**.
No doors. No windows. Just whispers on the wall.
I turned around — and there he stood.
**A boy. Barefoot. Same face. Same eyes.**
But he looked… smaller.
Weaker. Frightened.
It was **me**.
The version that got left behind during the storm.
---
He looked up and said:
> “Why did you leave me there… on that bus?”
My throat went dry.
> “I didn’t leave you,” I whispered.
> “I just didn’t know how to carry you forward.”
Tears filled his eyes.
Mine too.
And then…
He held my hand.
---
Suddenly, the corridor cracked open.
Light spilled in.
We were no longer two people.
We were **one**.
---
I woke up…
at 4:23 AM.
There was sweat on my forehead.
But a smile on my face.
For the first time in months,
I didn’t feel like I was fighting my fear…
I had *understood* it.
And that changed everything.
That morning, I saw the first sunlight differently.
It wasn’t just dawn outside.
> **It was dawn inside me.**
