He swears there's someone around the corner. Knows there is, even if - even if he's hallucinated shit like this before, he knows he has, and he can't go around pretending like this is real. Can't go around acting like these people are real, because he'd know if they were in Wonderland with him.
He'd know. Wouldn't he?
It all flies to the winds the moment he recognizes Brian's teasing laugh for what it is, the moment he glimpses the light catching off the shine of the lenses of Alex's glasses, the moment the flare of Jessica's long brown hair disappears around a corner. When he can hear Jay's voice, unmistakably, and, no matter how he tries not - see something else lingering at the corners.
It isn't real.
But that doesn't mean he won't go chasing each specter anyway.
white rabbits; just when i thought i'd never see you again
