- Chapter One: Introduction -

A small child can be found sitting while the sun shines intensely.

Her eyes are filled with curiosity at the book that piqued the young child's interest.

Somebody approached the small child and stood right next to her. That somebody sat next to her and smiled warmly at the little girl.

"Mom, she's already calling you; let's eat dinner.Mom prepared a special meal just for us."

The person said while petting the young child.
The young child changed her focus to the person, her eyes gleamed with thrill and hunger for the food, she stood up and spread her hand for the person to hold.

As she gripped the person's hand, the girl said.  "Swure!! I always admire mother's cooking!!" They returned to the house with such a cheeky grin.

"Hey nii-chan, Hinako loves you." She said while smiling alongside her brother.
"Hinako, Nii-chan loves you as well. Even our mom, dad, and your big brother aito. Onii-chan, will definitely make sure that you are always safe." he said, filled with determination…

(Note: Onii/nii is used to calls older brothers)

"There you are!! Let's eat dinner. Your father and brother will be arriving late."  The mother addressing it to the children.

"Alright. Let's sit down and have a meal with Mom, Hinako." The brother said, Though she took her time, she eventually sat down on the chair, as everybody else so did, and ate.

Hinako//1st person pov

Toot* toot* toot*
I opened my eyes as I heard the sounds of the alarm ringing through my ears.
I sat up, walked up to the sink Washing my hands and face. Feeling the same cold running water.

The door opened, for me to see a person came in with breakfast in hand. Not making eye contact nor talks, it simply ignored me. Drying myself up, I sat down on my bed, and tried to eat breakfast.

The breakfast contains bread and a glass of water only.
I ate bread, drank some water. Then i walked to the door
A sudden announcement came,,
"002 there's no need to visit Aldine today. You shall sleep again to retain your energy, for today will be different than other days"

I looked at them confused and curious.
'what could this day hold? Breaking routines are certainly very rare..'  i thought. 

Without questions asked, I went back to my bed and slept as commanded..

"002 wake up~" in a sweet calming voice filled with excitement can be described from this voice. I opened my eyes seeing Aldine smiling, I flinched at knowing her scary twisted personality that it certainly was not pleasant.

"We shall visit someone today, and you will need to meet them." She said going back watching me with her sharp observant eyes.
"I suggest following me now or else.." she said. I immediately followed along.

Eyes red as blood
Scars of scratches, cuts, and injuries
Hair a dark beautiful mess
That is how I was described by the white coated persons,, I overheard this from them.

"We're here '' Aldine said, taking off my blind fold. I immediately tremble a bit at the sight of such an unfamiliar place, idk anything about it here. Knowing aldine i stayed obediently silent, nor am making emotions, nor showing the trembles of my body

"Welcome, Ms.Clifford" I heard from an unfamiliar voice going from the room , Aldine left me alone outside of the room.

The door closed, blocking all noises that can be heard from the inside.

While waiting I heard footsteps growing near. I stayed silent, and looked for the sounds of the steps. I saw a man, with a mask similar to the scary guy, and he is also wearing a hood. "Come with me, I'll escort you to a room." The unknown man said to me. I took that as an order, and followed along. 'Something just tells me that, this room..will be a way..to something.'

After a little while, the man stopped and I followed. The door opened to see a man, whose eyes are hidden because of the hair. "?" "Oh what brings you here?" The man questioned.
After a few exchanges of words, he opened the door and we walked in.

There was a little girl, she flinched and backed away. The hooded guy calmed down the girl and left us, she looked at me with such a wary expression.

I was intrigued at the girl, it feels..new to see such a young looking girl.

2nd person POV

After he left, eri turn to her back and Thought

'So different...He was so different.'

She wrapped her head with a pillow.

'No one has ever reached out to me...The way he did… His hands...felt so kind.'

Eri said as she teared up, She then heard the door open, frightened and she backed away.

Eri was calmed down by the hooded man, and left the two alone.

There she saw a peculiar girl, Hair as messy as hers, a skin so pale, and beautiful red jewel colored orbs, wearing a simple white dress, and her arms and legs also covered in bandages. Eri noticed it, she looked at Hinako, her eyes looked..Lifeless,, almost like a doll, Eri noticed, and she noticed it all.

'Could she also have gone through the same thing as me?' she questioned frightened, scared, and worried for the older girl.

...

She noticed the girl just stood there..not doing anything.

"...you.. you can sit here." Eri said quietly almost like a whisper, Hinako heard what Eri had said and Hinako sat down.

Eri flinched a little, but surprised Hinako didn't make a fuss. "..."
Silence again was made, not knowing what to do…

"..wha..what...do they call you?" Hinako asks, mumbling very quietly, lucky eri heard it. "it's eri, they call me eri." Eri said. Hinako didn't respond back.

Silence just fell around them...this time a comfortable one, the silence was still there until eri and hinako fell asleep.
