FACADE

Chapter 1

The room around you feels cold and the air smells of chemicals. You slowly open your eyes. A woman flashes a light in your eyes and furrows her eyebrows. 

"She's not dead..." The woman sighs. 

"Megumi said he saw her healing when a curse attacked them." A voice says in the distance.

"So, you think her body healed back to life?" The woman asks in an irritated tone. "Or did you really not check to see if she was dead..."

"I'm not an idiot... she wasn't breathing, and her heart had stopped. I know what I saw..." The voice responds in a listless tone.

"Mmm... Hey can you see me?" The woman asks waving a light in your eyes. You squint your eyes. The woman turns off the flashlight and places it down. "Can I sit you up?" She asks pulling you up. You look around the room, confused as to where you are. 

"Ha- freaky-" The guy in the corner of the room says. Your eyes dart towards him. He's a tall man with white hair. There was a dark cloth covering his eyes so you couldn't quite tell who he was.

"What's your name?" The woman asks placing her pointer and middle finger on your wrist. 

"M-my name?" You look at her confused. "Where am I? Who are you?" You ask. You feel a bit confused but more anxious than confused.

"Do we scare ya?" The tall man says walking over towards you. You clench your fists as he walks closer.

"Gojo... not right now-" The woman says trying to listen to your pulse. "Relax your hands for me..." She softly says to you. You relax your hands. Gojo stops walking and smiles at you.

"Where am I?" You ask again.

"A morgue." The woman replies.

"A morgue?" You look at her confused. "Why?" You ask. The woman takes her hand away from you and writes something down in a book. 

"You were dead not long ago..." She answers. She grabs the flashlight and stands in front of you.

"What do you mean I was dead?"

"Do you remember what happened to you?" The woman asks turning on the flashlight.

"What happened... to me?" You tilt your head a bit. 

"Mhmm" She hums. "Follow my finger." She holds her finger up. You stare at her finger and she shines the light in your eyes. Your eyes slowly follow her finger as she moves it.

"Do you remember being attacked by a curse?" Gojo asks. You furrow your eyebrows and stare off into the distance. 

"A curse...?" You question. The woman turns off the flashlight and places it down. Gojo sighs and tilts his head a bit. 

"Do you remember a guy with pink hair?" He asks. You slowly shake your head. "Uh... how about a female with short ginger hair?" He continues. You shake your head again. His smile disappears and he leans towards you. "You hit your head or something?"

"She died and came back to life... it's not unusual for her to not remember." The woman sighs.

"What about a guy with spikey black hair who looks serious all the time?" He asks leaning towards you more. You move your face back a bit and look away trying to remember.

A guy with spikey black hair... You repeat in your head trying to remember.

"Now thinking about it... I do remember a guy like that..." You slowly say.

"There we go..." Gojo bubbles as he stands up straight. 

"Can you remember anything else?" The woman asks. You look down at your legs and nod.
