Dayshift 22: Chapel
Claire woke up in her room just like before, with little idea of how she actually got there. This time, though, she noticed something different about the room. There was another young woman, a blond, sleeping in a bed across from her. Before questioning that, though, she made sure to hide the items she'd gotten that night in her closet, shutting the door and making her way back to her bed just as a peppy nurse walked in.
She cheerfully explained that now, all patients had roommates -- and then made an obviously practiced speech about how they were all to get along. After getting through that, Claire was given the option of where she'd go that morning.
Claire wasn't really a religious person -- sure, her parents had taken her to church when she was younger, and she still sometimes went on the major holidays, but that was it. She didn't really pray or go to confession or anything like that. Still, after last night especially, she was craving something relatively normal. Anything close to home. With that, she asked the nurse to escort her upstairs.
It seemed she was the first to arrive. Just as well. Claire sat in one of the pews, in the middle on the inside, as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence.
