“Doctor, it seems you dropped your notebook on your fall,” the janitor said as she shoved an old book into Makoto’s chest. “Wha-? I don’t keep journals! I’m too old for tha” Makoto didn’t even finish before the janitor walked away, leaving it in Makoto’s hands. After flipping through, it was clear that it was in fact a journal, like the janitor had said. Curiosity took over and Makoto went to the first page. After reading the name, he gasped and dropped the book. It can’t be, He thought. There’s no way this is possible. In the research quarter? How have I never found this before?! He picked up the book again, making sure his eyes weren’t fooling him. Attached, there was a picture of a man who looked exactly like Quinn! The name signed …show more content…
I convinced those who could help to act as if I committed suicide, and soon James Davis was forgotten about…. But someone told them.
