You wake up in a clean, fresh bed. It must have all been a bad dream.

There are doctors, nurses, and orderlies all around. They're all very nice. They speak quietly around you, and let you sleep a lot. They keep murmuring something about a "pesonality adjustment disorder," and quietly assuring you that it's all over. Nothing to worry about. You sleep some more.

They say you'll be going home, soon. That's nice. Boot camp wasn't all that challenging, afterall.
