Day 47: Greenhouse (2nd Shift)
Why couldn't she get it out of her mind? It was a stupid white dress. So what if it was visual evidence that she was a princess? It should not be bothering her this much. It was a just a dress

The monsters...so they were like fiends, after all. Fiends didn't disappear because the instinct to cling to life never went away.... Except, this was being done...deliberately. "That sounds horrible," she said quietly. Similar to how she couldn't imagine how fiends could be manufactured, she couldn't imagine how monsters could be created. Every night....
"Ah..." Yuna looked back up. "I won't. Please, don't worry." She smiled, to banish the heavy feelings. "I'll do my best to avoid them." Really, this was like talking to a Guardian! "And...thank you." The feeling of being looked out for...it couldn't be replaced. "Be careful yourself, Kagura!" she added, a teasing note entering her voice.
"So," she said, being serious again, "if not running away from monsters, what goes on at night?" She couldn't think of anything they might be trying to do, except escape. And if they were still here, the really obvious routes were probably closed. Hmm....

"Well, you've probably noticed by now that we wake up in our beds as soon as the night ends, so escaping probably won't be possible until we defeat our captors. With that in mind, I've been exploring the institute, trying to gather information and weapons. Speaking of weapons, my group found some bats in the shed in the recreational field. You should check it out, unless you found something better. They're not exactly great weapons, even as makeshift clubs, but they're a heck of a lot better than going hand to hand with monsters," Kagura said in a serious tone. The idea of going barehanded against some unholy beast caused her to grimace.
"However, even if you don't run into any monsters, the institute can still be pretty dangerous. A few nights ago, my allies and I tried gathering information from the doctors' offices, but I think we got knocked out by some kind of trap. All I know is that I woke up with a headache." Kagura felt bad that she couldn't offer Yuna any better advice, but it also drove home the fact that Kagura had wasted her time the past few days because she had been caught in her drama with Yomi. She was going to have to fix that. Perhaps she should talk to Hime later and plan something for the nightshift?

"Waking up as soon as..." Yuna repeated. So that was what happened? Yuna hadn't thought about it, but that made sense. It also answered the question of escape, much to Yuna's consternation.
"Thank you, for the information," she said. Bats...Yuna wasn't good at clubbing weapons, unfortunately. Hmm, maybe she could use it as a rod? Sort of? In any case, Kagura was right, it was better than nothing. ...Especially with things like traps around. Oh, dear. "People have been trapped...a long time, huh?" she commented, subdued.

"It seems that way," Kagura replied. "I don't know for sure how long this has been going on though. Today is only my fourth day here."
