As Neo sat up from his computer, the only thoughts in his head were about his encounter a few days ago. No matter what he did, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. What was Morpheus talking about, exactly? Was he even real? Was any of that night real? Neo didn’t know. It was confusing. On one hand, it seemed so real… But on the other hand, none of it made sense. That, and the other dream he had the night before that. That bug…. How did it show up in the dream with the agents, /and/ the dream with Morpheus? It was impossible! Maybe he just needed to clear his head… Neo walked over to the bathroom, his thoughts racing. He turned on the faucet and leaned down, splashing his face with the cold water to clear his head. He grabbed a towel and wiped his face off. That was when he noticed his reflection. It looked like him, of course, but… It was completely different. He was wearing a trench coat as black as midnight, with sunglasses just as dark. His face wore no expression, no sign of emotion. Neo jumped back, startled by his reflection. How was it possible? He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked back up, his reflection was perfectly normal. Was he going insane? Was it some sort of hallucination? He headed to his bed, still confused and slightly terrified by what he had seen. As he began to drift off to sleep, only one thought was in his head: ‘Why, oh, why didn’t I take the red pill?’
