It had been a few days since the entrance exam and Maize had accidentally gotten into the habit of sleeping for 7-8 hours one night and then not sleeping for 3 days. Last night was a sleepless night. though it may sound like a bad thing, the ninja was using them effectively. most of the time she would research things she didn't know about. like heros, or laws. this habit wasn't planned though.

TWO NIGHTS BEFOREHAND

Maize had just barely drifted off into slumber when the visions started.

cold. the room was so very cold. she blinked a few times, gazing up at the stone ceiling. her wrists and her ankles ached unbearably but she knew there was nothing she could do. she was sure she was looking up at the ceiling, even though her sight was blurry. the long led hospital esk lights made it obvious. her hearing must have been messed up as well because suddenly the shape of a person stoon over her, holding something. she wasn't able to hear so she didn't know anyone had entered.

the person had whitish maybe gray hair and there's a chance they had glasses but it's hard to tell. the person was holding something that Maize guessed to be a syringe, it was a wild guess but those seem to be pretty common around here. the person started talking and it sounded like a man, though she couldn't make out what he was saying.

she felt like someone had put a glass fishbowl over her head and tied her down.

the man injected her with whatever was in the syringe and placed the empty tool down on what could have been a tray. Maize tried her best to track his movements and figure out what was going on. the man picked up something she couldn't make out, he said a few words even though she didn't understand. suddenly a sharp excruciating pain could be felt at her fingertips. she tried to scream but was restrained by something she couldn't see. first the pain was at her fingertips, then the middle joint in her finger, and finally at the base of her finger. she hoped he would stop after her pointer finger but he kept going.

The mystery man was on her third finger when she realized what was happening, he was cutting them off.

she sat up suddenly in her bed breathing heavily. her head ached and her limbs felt clammy. her head flew around, turning left and right making sure she was still safely confined in her apartment. once she felt just a little at ease she went to check to see if her fingers were still there like she had every morning since she had arrived here, and they were. nothing had happened while she was asleep. it was just a nightmare. but something felt off as she started at her fingers, then it hit her. the skin on her fingers was slightly darker than the rest of her body, and it was tougher.

PRESENT DAY

she sat on white tile floor in front of her obnoxiously large window and watched the sun rise. it was the second sunrise she had watched in a row after vowing to sleep as little as possible. even though it had been only one nightmare it made her realize that literally anything could have happened in the three years that she has no recollection of. at first she wanted to know what happened but after that glimpse into her memory she was terrified. there was no proof of her nightmare being her memory but the ninja used her context clues to connect some dots.

suddenly a thought appeared in her already stressed mind, 'i should be getting my acceptance letter today.'

how could she have forgotten. it was just barely six am and mail arrives at eight am on the weekends. she had two hours to wait for her letter so she decided to do what anyone else would do,
