"And so, what time were you looking forward to leaving?" "Anytime before April.." She checked her computer, then looked up. "I'll put in a request!" She went back to typing.. I knew she wasn't going to request for it. She would just wait for Myers to tell her what to do next.. I waved my hand in front of her computer. "Don't do it Casper or I'll have to request a separate facility for you to stay in.." She said plotting on me. She knew how to handle me from the rest of the nurses. She was never scared of me. Or at least, me like this.. Myers little minions.. They do whatever they're told.. He shows them how to control all of us!
..
I was in a room all day drawing her. I was put back with everyone else.. They had put me in solitary. My inmate snitched and told the nurses I was making threats to kill him then off myself right after. They told me not to say it was a prison, but we were staying in a mental institute.. Welcome to the crazy house created for the League's craziest players!

Welcome to the "Playhouse!"
..
Deciding whether to make her eyes blue or yellow.. Which color do I make them? That's how I remembered her.. With blue eyes.. Ocean eyes.. Eyes that held the most emotion. Her face had none because she was hiding it all in her eyes! And when I thought of emotions I thought of water.. Her eyes, to my surprise, always changed colors! I thought of her everyday.. Not as much as Alice but often enough! The way her hair might've smelled.. The way she rolled her eyes.. The way she would pause before she'd say something clever.

When I actually got the chance to get close to her I would feel her skin to see how she felt.. If her body temperature was always cold or warm? The day I actually got to see her I wanted to remember her for her.. The way she really was.. But I kept drawing her as a monster! I just thought she was more different than I remembered.. My therapist here told me, I was making up this version in my head where she was actually good.

If I thought about it now.. The only part of me I would want her not to eat, is my heart.. So she'd always kept it with her forever..

She could carry it around.

I never had problems drawing Alice. She always came out good.. She was always beautiful.

But Mono was always beautiful to me too.. Always! Just maybe not all the time to everyone..

There's beauty in the beast I saw, but she wouldn't give me the chance to see more of what she really was. She was too broken and damaged.. And if I were to ever get the chance to know her.. I'd be too lost!

I wished for that.
..
I was here for weeks! I was hardly eating and I would think about how everyone else was just unbothered by what I was going through! Living outside from here, their boring lives that were now really more exciting than mine.. That's why I wanted to end it all.

I was going to commit suicide.
..
"What was her real name?" "I don't know," I answered. "Well you talk about her a lot not to know her real name.. Any guesses?"

I made a friend here.. from who my roommate introduced me to.. Her name was Alexa but she told me to call her Alex. She was here for nine months from trying to cut her captain's throat..

I'd think to myself.. I knew I heard Heelix call her Monopoly? But I knew that wasn't her real name..

"Who was she before she ate people?" "She never ate anyone!" I was in denial.. Reya could have been ok. "Yeah? Then what do you think was in that cup that Genny told her not to drop?"

Her wrist were slit.

I wasn't going to argue with her.

"Casper?" A nurse came at the perfect time into the lunchroom to get me ready to be released.

I didn't even grab any of my things and I definitely wasn't going to say bye to her.

I guess I didn't care anymore what people had thought of me.. Because I was in love with a sociopathic man eating killer.. When will my self morals kick in before I worry too much about others judging me?

She could have eaten me in seconds but she didn't.

[..Discharge]
The nurse checked her computer. The same nurse. She was kinda overweight with a double chin and had a lotta wrinkles.. With some gray hairs sticking out of the top of her scalp that did not compliment her age well!

"So you're here for trying to beat up your roommate.. But he whooped your ass right?" I was surprised she said it outloud. "Almost put him in the E.R but the girlfriend intervened.." She chewed on her gum. "Age?" "Am I being released or not?" "Height?" "Can you check if I'M FUCKING BEING RELEASED OR NOT?!"

She paused.

She got out the papers.

"Sign here.." "And who's releasing me?" I asked more politely. "I'm not allowed to tell due to our League's policy.." "Can you just tell me who has me being released? K, I asked MONTHS AGO to go home!" She asked me why would she'd ever give that out if it could put her in a place of losing her job.. And that she had "bills to pay.." I guess she thought I had money. She ended up telling me anyway and said it was one of the Captain's team members coming to release me for him. I asked again. "It's not in my policy to do so!" "Please!" I begged.

She told me.

It was Mono..

I was too thrilled and overwhelmed to see her! Outside? Waiting for me? But I was also too nervous.. I thought about all the things I said to myself about her and to everyone else..

And then she wasn't there outside..

She didn't have to wait for me to be released, but I just thought she cared enough for me as a person and as her former team mate to wait for me..

I walked back to The LEAGUE.

..For twenty minutes!

Alone..
