It's been four years since #22234 was seen as part of the staff team. He knows it's been four years since he's seen the calendar in the ward change. He wasn't that amazed to notice the time flying by, he wasn't really sad about forgetting his name, but he does remember his age at least. All he knows is that he will get out of here sooner or later, as long as he stays being the good rabbit he's been playing all this time. During that time though, he has been injured and made to sit in a room to heal himself at least seventeen times. Those times he wasn't watched, so they most likely knew he couldn't heal himself and were just kicking him out to discuss things a mear hybrid would probably use against them. #22234 hated this about the ward, they thought less of him and mostly saw him as a freak of nature with a useful ability they could use for their testing subjects.

While that was happening, yes, he himself did change. He grew, his hair and fur grew too, but was then cut during his sleep by the staff. Turns out they were also taking his measurements. He hated thinking about how much they could do in his sleep, hated that he wasn't able to wake up to any noise they would've made in his sleep. #22234 was used to it by now. He started talking to the patients more, and was given medical books. Sometimes the books were in a human language that he couldn't understand, but when he asked for a different copy in his language he was told that he should've studied human language and to deal with it himself.

He would always try when it happened and sometimes they would have it in his language, sometimes in another unknown language.That was when he just went to other hybrids and tried having them translate and read it to him. He's learned, so much more since then. He's met many hybrids too, some were still there since he got here. Like the bug, #12245. #12245 did start learning how to speak like #22234 sooner or later, and they would talk while #22234 was on break. The usual chatting here and there, sometimes #12245 would ask him to heal a small scratch here and there, no biggie for #22234. Then there was Krim, Krim was taken away. But to freedom.

Krim was taken back by his kind, his kind went and fought off the staff while they were getting the hybrids and #22234 down underground, so as not to get any ideas for them to try and escape. But #22234 saw, he saw how happy and relieved Krim looked, he was then taken up by the arms of his 'parents', he guessed. They then flew off somewhere, another guess was their planet. #22234 wondered how Krim even got here. #22234 went and told #12245 what he saw, #12245 was happy for Krim, since he was also there when they arrived at this lab as well. #22234 saw that some of the staff was killed during Krim's 'rescue', but that was fine with him. They deserved it.

Today #22234 was just taking a walk around the outdoor court of the facility, then he saw someone new get pushed inside. He watched as a Cat hybrid was given a talking to and how she was untied and sent off to walk around. #22234 paid no mind, until realized he was the only one around to talk too. The girl came up to him.

"Hi, I'm Cat Girl"

"I'm #22234, nice to meet you Cat Girl"

"#22234? I know you have a real name, you can't really be #22234, right?"

"Heheh, I've been here for a while. Others have been here longer then I have though"

"Oh, that sucks. Hey, why don't we plan an escape together?"

"Don't say that!" silently screamed #22234

"And, if this place did have a weak point I would've been outta here a long time ago, so there's no point" he whispered

"Just cause you haven't found a way out doesn't mean I shouldn't try to find a way out"

#22234 didn't admit it, but she had a good point. But he stayed silent, eyeing her a bit. Soon an alarm rang and he was called back inside to check a patient. He told her to talk to him later when he has free time, she nodded and watched as he stepped back inside.

A week later, while #22234 was talking to #12245 she came back. She looked, stressed about something. She started asking #22234 that if he's seen the whole building and if he really couldn't find a weak point in the facility. His ears drooped a bit, she sounded desperate. But every hybrid who was new was desperate to leave, he was no different. He told her that he kinda hasn't been everywhere around since his ability to walk into places and not get zapped back to where he was supposed to be was slightly limiting. #12245 just stared and listened, then piped up with a response.

"There a way"

"#12245... there's been a way out and you haven't told me?!"

"Really? Where"

"No, during time"

"What time"

"Moon"

"Yeah but what during the moon?"

"No clue, but buzz stops"

Man, if only #22234 could've taught #12245 how to speak more coherent sentences other than the broken language he could understand well enough to speak to him. Why hasn't he known about this though? He's stayed up awake some nights after looking into a patient that was so horribly torn to shreds and yet, he hadn't noticed something go off. He felt stupid for that, but maybe it only happens in #12245 hall that things get shut off.

"Does the power only shut off in your hall?"

"Yes"

Ok that explains it, then #22234 and Cat girl will have to find a way to be there while #22234 is trying to find a way for everyone else to leave too. #22234 goes and asks Cat girl if she thinks if there is a way, could he get everyone else here to leave too? She thinks it over, and says it really depends on what the escape even is and how big everyone else is so as not to break anything or make a commotion while leaving. #22234 answers that from all the animals he's seen none of them were that big, and even so they were all probably small and scrawny now since the staff hasn't really been feeding anyone here in a while.

Cat girl says that it was sad that she had to hear that, but good since they could be skinny enough to get away with them. Then another alarm goes off and #22234 is pulled away this time, a patient must've had a very bad injury this time. He waved a small bye to Cat girl and #12245.
