"Good morning everyone!"

>>>

"It's another day to look forward to!"

>>>

"In 15 minutes the canteen will open. Please head there as soon as you can."

>>>

"Remember, report any abnormalities with our emergency system!"

>>>

"Have a wonderful day, darlings~!"

>>>

You wonder to yourself if you'd be better off dead.

>>>

Once again you open your eyes into the half-empty room that you hardly recognize as yours.

>>>

It's been like this for a while.

>>>

Day after day, you await the moment until they decide to take you to your grave.

>>>

And in the act of defience.. you stopped doing anything at all.

>>>

You stared so long into the walls and panels of the rooms that confined you with comfortable chairs and nice clothes.

>>>

Yet no reflective surfaces were to be seen.

>>>

You wondered when was the last time you looked at yourself.

>>>

...

>>>

Alas, time is fleeting.

>>>

You head down the cafeteria.. a place with clearly defined glass windows, yet they are so matte that you can't tell of anyone's really looking.

>>>

Maybe.. just maybe there is a way out. Where the eyes don't watch.

>>>

What are you staring at?

>>>

You notice a girl adorned in clothes that could be only described as... alternative, staring at you across the table.

>>>

Hej! I asked you a question.

> Nothing..

You decided to answer with hesitation.

>>>

She was certainly one of the Exorcists, same as you, but seemingly much less antiquated with what was going on based on her demeanour.

>>>

That doesn't make much sense.

>>>

'People' don't stare at 'nothing'.

>>>

She was right. But oblivious to the danger that this kind of conversation could follow.

>>>

You decide to pivot.

>>>

>Too bad we aren't people, ay?

She stared at you for but another second before turning away and going towards the cafeteria.

>>>

You couldn't tell whether she tried to be concerned about you or felt pity.

>>>

You must be looking terrible by now.

>>>

Reaching out to your back makes you feel sick. That pulse hasn't gone away.

>>>

You dont forget the fire. You dont forget the colony.

>>>

You don't forget the Mother.
