22th of December, 2076?

I'm not quite sure of the date so I put a question mark. But anyway, that's not what matters the most. When the light vanished and my vision came back to me, I was laying down on some sort of hospital bed. I looked around me, I was wearing those kind of pajamas they make you wear in hospitals. The walls of my room were pale green and covered in sketches. I took a closer look at the sketches. A star, another, and another. A galaxy. On another part of the wall, A pair of red eyes. Somewhere else, a small door inside a gigantic lock. Finally, in a corner, a big, grey hand, propably metallic, holding a girl. Various words and sentences were scribbled around the sketches :

"Yami?" "Yami!" "Don't leave me!"

There was more to it but it was too damaged for me to read. I turned around and noticed the door of the room was opened, I decided to take a walk in the corridors. People that I knew were walking in the corridors, all wearing the same hospital pajamas. I could recognize some of my friends. I brushed againt a black haired girl, she seemed to be wearing different clothes than the other. My arm accidently bumped into her and the documents she was holding fell on the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

-"No, no... It's fine, really, this happens all the time." She smiled, I suddenly recognized her, Nisshoku.

-"...Nisshoku...?"

-"...Huh?"

-"...Nevermind, you look like someone I know."

-"Well of course, after all, I'm part of the staff here..."

-"Yeah, about that, where are we?"

-"...You didn't take your medicine, is that it?" She said, looking at me as if she suddenly realised who I was.

-"...Huh?"

-"You're in an hospital, Lance. You suffer from a mental disease and we are here to help you, all right?"

-"...."

-"You keep having strange dreams and delusions about nurse Yami and a certain "Project Nova"..."

-"Dreams? No way! I lived all of this, I know it!"

-"No, Lance, it was all a dream. Come on, let's go see Dr.John, he'll give you your medicine."

-"..."

-"Come on, Lance. Please."

-"....No..."

-"...Lance..."

-"No! This isn't real! It's the Station tricking me again!"

-"Lance, the station isn't real." She said, reaching an hand towards me as if she tried to stop me.

-"Where the hell's Kyouki?! I'm sure she'd understand, her!"

-"...Kyouki?"

-"The crazy girl with an eye missing!"

-"...Oh, you mean Lisa?"

-"Lisa?! Since when is she named Lisa?! What the hell is this place?!"

-"...Lance... Please... Calm down..."

-"...Where's Lisa..."

-"It's better if nobody visits her... She's a... Dangerous case..."

-"I don't care! I know she'll understand!"
