On the Other Side

Reawakened

Hood: Mmh...

She opened her eye, being met with sunlight gently peeking through her window that woke her from her slumber. Hood slowly took the covers off of her and stretched, unwinding from the night of being in bed.

Making her way to the bathroom, she suddenly remembered something, specifically, something she thought she saw last night.

Hood:...

She walked over to the mirror, looking into it and at her reflection. She found nothing out of the ordinary on her, nor was there anything that felt funny.

Hood: I swear I saw something though...

Shaking it off, she decided to just go on with the day.

Hood: Okay, I need to get dressed for-

...

Hood: -the day....what?

She blinked, and looked down at herself. She was fully dressed all of a sudden, which she was thoroughly confused by.

Hood: What...is going on?

They had no real medic here, expect Karlsruhe, who was more repairing then maintaining their mental health. Right now she would need to get an appointment in with a therapist, and who knows when she can have her first meeting.

Hood: I should just get to work, I have shit to do. I'll worry about my mental health when I'm not degrading it further through paperwork
—————

Z23: Kommandantin, are you feeling well?

Hood and Z23 both were in the office, slogging through the paperwork of the day. Despite the many times she told her, Z23 always offered and sometimes forced her help onto Hood, essentially becoming her secretary.

Hood: I'm not sure...I feel like my mental state has taken a hit

Z23: Possibly your physical health too, your hair is turning rather white and your skin is getting pale

Hood: I've been taking vitamins too! These problems started a month ago and even with the help they're only getting worse!

...

Z23: Do you... think it's a disease?

Hood: I'm not even sure anymore. I feel fine, but I look different and I think I'm going crazy, but physically? I'm fine

Z23: Kommandantin, I believe you should get some rest for today

Hood: 23, I'm fine, let's knock this out together and then we can both rest. It's almost done anyway, so there isn't a point to dump it now

Z23:...Very well Kommandantin

She was right in that it didn't take long at all for them to finish up, what with the pile being small already before their talk and the rest taking only a dozen more minutes to get through.

Hood and Z23 left the room and travelled together, going to rest as Nimi said they should. At this point, Hood considered actually asking Nimi to be her physician with how much she seemed to know about health.

Z23: Kommandantin, do you want to go dye your hair?

Hood: No, I feel like this hair is...appropriate despite me losing my golden locks

Z23: Truly? It does look a nice shade of silver instead of grey, but is that really what you want?

Hood went silent at the thought, as it would be a major decision on her part. She wouldn't like to have to constantly dye her hair, but at the same time, she wanted to have her golden hair to match Bismarck again...
