The door opened.

"Yeah, yeah. Send him," a muffled voice came into clearance.

Cole and I diverted our attention towards Seliel who stepped in front of us, a guard standing next to her who's badge read 001.

"Oh! You're finally up! Must've been a wonderful nap, hmm?" Seliel put her hand on her hip, tapping her long blue nails on the belt of her skirt.

I cocked a brow at her enthusiasm.

"Anyway, forgot to tell you but..." She turned to look at her guard who was holding a phone in his gloved hand. "Your friend called your number another hundred and something times." She took the phone in her grasp and danced her fingers over the device's surface, tapping her sky blue painted nails over the screen to unlock the gadget.

I looked at Seliel then tilted my head to look at Cole with an unamused face, clearly giving the impression; 'She knows your password too?'

Cole smiled with a sorry look, replying to me with a 'whoops, my bad.'

"Aw, cute. Your password is still my name."

Cole looked at Seliel then back at me. He showed me his teeth as he gripped his ankles in front of him, his legs crossed.

I sighed playfully.

"Missed calls from both your parents. And Keith. Oh, your sister messaged you too." She looked up at Cole and smiled. "I guess they've all figured by now that you're not coming back." The blondie flicked the phone behind her, throwing it over her shoulder.

Clink, crash.

"Hey–" Cole bit his tongue before he said anything else, watching his phone break, dispirited.

Its screen splattered over the floor in tiny tiny pieces and the case was half slipped off of the damaged piece of alloy. It probably wouldn't have shattered like that but it seemed pretty shivered up already, most likely from the fall.

She dusted her hands and sighed. Cole looked at her, shocked and upset.

"Moving on." Seliel crossed her arms. "It's been approximately twenty-four hours since you two have been here. So here's how it works. You only have the liability to go to the washroom once a day. I personally don't care about you two nor am I your babysitter but I don't want you two to shit in my prison." She smiled.

I looked at Cole without turning my head. He looked at me too. We both looked away, trying not to exchange looks again because of the awkwardness of the topic. Using the washroom was one of our least concerns. Living or dying was more of what our minds were occupied with.

"One of my guards will be sent in to take one of you, at a time. He isn't going to come again so you better go even when you don't need to." Seliel smiled like a hostess after receiving a tip for her room service. "The bathroom is right there, though, that's not of any use to you since you can't go without my guard's supervision anyway." She pointed to her left, in the direction behind me as I sat perpendicular to her. She was pointing towards the end of the room.

She raised her hand, fondling the air with her long nails. She gestured to the guard to proceed with his duty, walking out herself.

Shut.

Cole and I looked at the guard. 001 raised his rifle and pointed it at Cole then at me, then back at Cole again.

"W-wait. The washroom break is n-now?" Cole stuttered, chickening out like he thought he would behind a gun. At least he knew himself, unlike me.
