         I couldn't help but watch the blank white door that had taken 42 and 32 for some kind of test. From what I can recall I could see both of them being taken away from their beds and had looked scared...or terrified even. I couldn't begin to think of what they thought right then and there.
      I looked at some kind of disoriented figure. "It must feel like you're falling into some kind of paradise...doesn't it?" the figure had questioned tilting its weird looking head at me. My hands had started shaking from the fear I felt, "you're radiating with fear...are you scared of everything? Now you must be very nervous of what's happening around you." the figure had scoffed amused at my reaction to what's happening.
         I found it scary that this figure found my anxiousness entertaining "Go away! Just leave me alone! Please...I'm done, I'm tired!" my yelling had somehow scared off the figure and had disappeared. I had sighed as I went back to my bed and sat down watching the clear screen of the supposed desks of "doctors" who sat down watching us and taking notes? I think? Can't quite remember what they said to me and mono earlier this morning.
I feel like mono is beginning to be cautious around the people in white lab jackets. They don't seem too bad. I suppose I'm not even sure why they are so cautious? They may be somewhat stern and ask us daily questions and take us into testing, but they seem nice enough to be around. I'm going to probably hangout with 32 tonight...try and see how they are doing.
      The door to the room had opened and I peeled away from my bed as 32 had walked inside the room shaking and looking scared. Their pupils were dilated and shaking as they had run to their bed and layed down crying. "Frick uh...you doing okay?" I had carefully asked them as to not scare them any further than they already were. 32 had looked at me with teary grey eyes that were red and puffy from crying is what i'm guessing "i'm scared. Please don't let them take me again...pain, needles, the smells from the room are intoxicating...it's horrible..." 32 had scrunched up their nose as they wiped their eyes and grabbed a few tissues from my bedside table.
12 had started to bound over to us in a jumpy manner skipping towards me and 32's beds.
       32 had looked at 12 with some kind of mean glare since their eyes had dried up and weren't really red and puffy anymore. "12...were talking about something at the moment please let us be so-" 32's sentence was interrupted by a random screen appearing on front of the wall as all three of us looked at each other with curiosity not noticing the static from the screen going in out of hearing's reach. "I needed to tell you guys that there was going to be a test of some kind, i don't know what it is but it looks like some type of screen." mono had said.
        I had carefully watched the screen. Then all of a sudden some type of mist like blue gas started leaking into the room from the screen. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" 32 had exclaimed with irritation "I DON"T KNOW YOU TELL ME ARSEHOLE!" I had yelled back not noticing that the stuffed animal mono had was moving as she talked to shwimmy. Shwimmy had to stood up and hugged 12 making her smile. 'Shes so oblivious to the fact that stuffed animal is moving!' i had thought while my vision swam at the last glimpse of the glowing hazel eyes of mono and hearing her say with a joyful tone "night night little bunny..."
