"Where did you go, Daniel ? I never know where you go these days. Not since your mother--" I cut him off again, "제 어머니에 대해서는 말하지 마세요. 당신은 그럴 권리가 없어요." (Do not speak of my mother. You have no right.)

I didn't know it then, but this virus was evolving. My father was already sick & he was now affecting me. All of my rational thinking went out the window. All I felt now was anger. Did he feel the same way as I ?

This is when I saw that shift in my father' eyes. You lunged at me with a knife. "Die ! Die !", he screamed as he moved his arm in a slashing motion. I, of course, tried to defend myself. "아빠, 저예요! 그만해요!" (Dad, It's me ! Stop, please.) I tried to plead with him. To see if there was some of humanity still in him at the moment. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt him beyond repair. He was still my father.

He didn't stop though. I dodged as much as I could, but he still did have a knife. "I don't know what you've done with my son, but you must die." What ? Did he no longer see me as his son ? I made a run for my father' room. I needed to find the tranquilizers. I needed to force him into a calm state. All of which wouldn't be easy.

I continued to dodge my father' attempts to stab when I found the tranquilizers, but there wasn't much left. Soon enough I was trying to fight my father off & keep hold of the tranquilizer. I kind of blacked out. Everything was like a blur. I managed to fight him off, but things didn't go as planned.

The knife ended up impaling my father in the leg. The tranquilizer ended up putting myself into a calm state. I felt numb. All was quite for the quiet ramblings of my father as he pulled the knife out of his leg slowly. I'd say I have an hour or two before he tries to kill me again. Ugh.

I had fallen asleep at some point, I guess. When I had risen my father attacked me once more. He even properly bandaged his leg wound. There were no more tranquilizers. Except this time things seemed to move much faster in terms of the fight. The struggle. "Dad...", I said trying once more to plead with him. But it was of no use. It only made him angrier while all the same, he looked at me as if I were a stranger to him.
