In the Mind of the Twisted

Chapter 2

Nao's POV

.

I open my eyes groggily. All I can see is darkness.
"Hm?" I hum questioningly, staring at the dark abyss before me.
'Could it be... Am I... Blind?' I mentally ask myself this with slight fear.
'No... What could have possibly caused this if so... I highly doubt it... But... Such a thing... isn't impossible...' I ponder, trying to move my arms, but I find myself being restricted for some reason.

'Huh? I can't move freely... Maybe... I'm in a coffin then... Was I buried alive?...' My fear begins to grow steadily as I ponder such a thought. 'Now. Calm down, let's see... Maybe I can...' I think, trying to find a way to "escape" what I assume to be my "prison."

I push my arms to the sides, but seeing that has not worked, I push forward and suddenly light blinds my vision... Wait wasn't I already blind? No... Wait...

3rd Person POV

As the young and stoic boy falls from the locker to the ground, his face shows that he has already accepted his fate, as he only raises one arm to protect his head from serious injury, and unceremoniously falls flat on the floor.

The boy now lays on the floor for a few seconds. (Maybe pondering their life choices).

But with a soft sigh he slowly gets up from the floor, eventually, and looks around in front of him.

He then looks behind him, only to see the locker he tumbled out of.
'Ah... So, it was neither...' He thinks, slowly standing up with a bored expression on his face.

"*Sigh* Life is truly unpredictable, as always..." He says with a poker-face as he looks around the room.

'Hm, it looks like a regular classroom, yet somehow there are these unusual items here...' He thinks, staring at the windows and the monitor in the classroom.

Out of pure curiosity, he approaches the windows and touches the red barbed... rope/wire(?).
He ends up pricking his finger and flinches back from slight surprise.

'Well... that was idiotic at best...' He thinks but only continues to look around the room unfazed.

When all of a sudden. A bunch of stuffed animals appear out of nowhere.

"Huh?" He says in surprise at the sight of the stuffed bears speaking.

"Rise and Shine Ursine!" They say...
He looks at them questioningly trying to figure out what they just said.

Due to this, awkward silence ensues...

"Hey! What's wrong with ya!? Aren't you supposed to be scared or somethin'!?" Asks the blue bear. The boy now redirecting his attention back onto the bears.

"Hm? Why would I?" Asks the boy. The bears only staring blankly at him.

"Cuz we're talkin' stuffed animals!" Says the red bear.

"Oh? So that's what you are..." Says the boy pensively.

"W-Wha- No! We're not stuffed animals!" Says the red bear, clearly annoyed.

"... But you just said-" Starts the boy but is interrupted.

"We're the Monokubs!✨" Says the red bear as all of the bears pose dramatically.
.
.
.

"... Right... So where exactly am I?" Asks the boy plainly.

"Don't just ignore our rockin' introduction!" Yells out the blue bear.
