What it’s like to live with the Black Box | Chia Xun An Part 2

In the second part of our season finale special, we present the conclusion to Chia Xun An’s story. Following his earlier battles with depression, Xun An worked hard through polytechnic to improve his grades and overcome his condition. However, things would soon take a dark turn when he started to hallucinate and hear voices, ultimately resulting in a mental breakdown in front of his class, and another diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, a.k.a. his “Black Box”.
