Characters: Kanaya, open
Setting: Dorms, Library, Cafeteria
Format: starting action
Summary: Kanaya had been avoided people for as long as she could, interacting with people as little as she could manage. That can only last so long.
Warnings: Possible mentions of surgery
[She had made it a point to not spend too much time with people, the phantom would just suck on their energy, making it stronger. Kanaya knew that if the phantom got too strong than she would not be able to contain it. Or so she thought. Even without people around the phantom still pushed at her insides causing her pain and discomfort. Slowly she got used to the phantom being inside of her and slowly she got used to being tired and drained of energy. But that doesn't mean that she wouldn't give anything to have it disappear. She didn't know if she could go through another surgery to remove it.]
[Kanaya spent most of her time hiding in the library, reading anything she could get her hands on. She couldn't tell you how many books she has read since she returned from surgery, but she probably couldn't tell you what they were all about.]
[Occasionally she would make her way down to the dining hall to eat something, but it was as little as possible. The last thing she wants to is have more strength for the phantom to sap. Instead she picks on her food, eating the bare minimum.]
[Every few days she would go back to her room to sleep to avoid death. She didn't know what would happen if she died, if the phantom would die with her or be released on the tower. To avoid that she would spend one night in her bed every few days.]
