[From here.]She was alone when she entered the connecting hallway. Claire couldn't find it in herself to be surprised. Everyone here was so happy to waste the night away
( Read more... )
It was quiet. Perhaps too quiet, like the first blast from the intercom. Taura stepped carefully through the darkness, but nothing was out of place. Merely empty.
If our actions tonight determine our fates, can I get out of here? Permanently?
Since she was tired and hungry, Erika's things felt a little heavier than they normally did. Or perhaps it was better to say that she seemed to notice the weight of her baggage tonight. She traveled lightly for the most part, but tonight, it was like her flashlight was a lead weight and her weapon was a broadsword made of the densest metal.
The detective rubbed at her temple, taking a moment to breathe slowly. Her concentration was her most remarkable trait, and she was able to shut out even her tiredness for a moment to regain herself. It wouldn't look good to approach Sync like she was the easiest kill in the world.
... Perhaps she really didn't trust him as much as she thought she did. That thought didn't bother her tonight, a sign that the detective welcomed because it meant she had all of her wits about her tonight.
It wasn't until Anise reached the next hall that she was struck by a realization.
Nothing changed. ...Between her and Tear, that was. Even after Anise confessed everything to her, Tear didn't treat her any differently than before. Maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise, since the Tear in the future (the present?) had been just as understanding, but it had been really hard for Anise to shake her fears of everything changing once the truth was out.
Maybe it was stupid of her to worry so much in the first place. Talking to her friends kept turning out to be a lot easier than expected, even though she'd always put it off until far too late. Maybe she really did need to be more honest in general...
This wasn't the time to be re-evaluating her life decisions, though. If she didn't get to the meeting point quickly, her friends would probably worry way more than necessary, especially after what happened last night. Walking quickly, Anise made her way to the next hallway.
At least there were people out already. Kairi couldn't help but feel comforted by the fact that other patients were still out and about, despite the activities of the day. The new uniform was slightly uncomfortable to walk around and be in, but she knew she'd have to suffer through it. The old uniform had been the best ... but honestly, she just missed her real clothes. Oh, what she would give to be able to wear a dress again! Or even a skirt. Really, anything she could move freely in -
Kairi looked down at her pants, frowning. And the chunky shoes ... augh. Were sneakers too much to ask for?
Sighing, she continued on her way. Fashion could be whined about some other time.
It was interesting that, while his senses had definitely dwindled, there was always a subtle shift of scent when he walked into the female block. He had been keeping a look-out for Bella in case their definitions of "half-way" were different (which Edward very much knew they were), but he was still surprised to see she was not even this far. She was tenacious, even if injured...
That panicked him a little, moving his feet faster than his dead run already was.
