When you woke up, you were alone in the spacious room. You assume Overhaul woke up early to tend to his experiments. You got off the tiny bed Overhaul provided, and you heard a knock on the door as you were about to take a bath.
"I'm leaving your food here! Overhaul is out with Chrono!" A loud, high-pitched voice penetrates the room you're inside.
Huh, so he's not here. That fact alone gave you a sense of relief. Your abuser wasn't around. He's not here to put you under his condescending gaze with a scalpel in his hand.
For once, you felt free.
With sudden movements, you entered the bathroom and showered. You quickly put on your clothes when after showering and took the tray on the table outside the room.
You considered eating on Overhaul's desk, but you don't know what would happen if he noticed even the puniest dirt there. So, you ate on the small bed.
It wasn't anything special. You were merely eating on the bed, still caged and dumbfounded by what was happening beyond this place.
But your vision went blurry, and you could feel your tears dropping on your lap. Some of it might have landed on your food.
You were still caged, but Overhaul's absence made you feel safe. You didn't have to stare blankly at the wall or the ceiling, waiting anxiously for a knock on the door. And you knew what would happen.
