Gumi: Wha... What is all this? Where exactly... Am I?

//Attempts to stand up, unbalanced, she topples over to her right

Gumi: aaAH! Ow ow ow ow... Wh... gnn... What...

"This sensation."

//Looks over to where her right arm would be

"Hi... My name is Megpoid Megumi..."

No...

"For as long as i can remember. I've lived all my life in my lonesome..."

Why... Why is this... this... GN?!!

//Pain settles in

"From time to time, I get faded pieces in my head..."

//Eyes begin to widen, screams in pain towards the glass sky, breaking away her surroundings

"Usually about locations... moments..."

//Stares back down at the rocky ground with constricted eyes, shifting the terrain along with her emotions

"This..."

//Starts crying uncontrollably

"This is one of them..."

//Claps

Gumi: ...

//Turns around slowly and hesitantly

Gumi: ...
Gumi: Y-You...

Megumi: Heh.

//Stands up, cleaning off her face, and faces Megumi in slight fear

Gumi: ...
Megumi: ...

//Grins

Megumi: Hmph... I gotta say there kid. You pulled off quite a damn show here. And well-

//Brings out Gumi's missing right arm

Gumi: Ah...
Megumi: Mind if I give a hand?
Gumi: Wha-
Megumi: Ooo... That doesn't look good. Speaking of which. You seem to be the owner. Here, catch!

//Tosses Gumi's arm over to her, returning it

Gumi: Ah.

//Catches it safely with her left

//Smiles

//Looks down at her disembodied limb for a long while, noticing something

Gumi: The... bandages...
Megumi: And I'd say you might want to open it up.
Gumi: Hu... Hm...

//Opens up the bandages, finds nothing but clear skin

Gumi: It's... Healed? But... How? That injury was too bi-Gn... a-AH!

Megumi: ...Hm?

Gumi: It still... Stings. Wait...

//Looks up to find Megumi right up in her face

Gumi: Wo-Woah! Too... too close.

//Backs off, feeling differently

"Wait... What just..."

Megumi: ...
Megumi: Are... Are you alright, Gumi-chan~?

Gumi: Wha... Alright? Am I alright? What makes you think I'm alright?! Hell! I have a broken off limb and you are asking me, of all things, if I'm alright. You know...

//Stabs right arm back in the right socket, reforming back in, shifting back into place

Gumi: EH?!! GHNNGAHH!!!!

//Pain fades away immediately

Gumi: AHHHHhhhhhh... gh.. Wh... What was... that?

//Looks over to right arm, attempts to move it around

Gumi: My... My arm is back... And it's working fine as if normal

Megumi: ...

"Where exactly am I? No... What am I exactly in?"
