The next morning, he comes down with a mysterious fever that won’t break for two days. Hoping to recover, he leaves the mountains. But things only get stranger when he returns to the city.

The nightmares won't stop.

His friends start to notice changes too.

“Zhou Wu… did you get a girlfriend or something? Your place is spotless now. You pack lunch in the morning and rush home to eat at night.”

Zhou Wu: …Girlfriend?

He pats his friend’s shoulder with solemn gravity.
