Oh no.
It's this dream again.
I opened my eyes.
It's so cold. I have no blanket. My body hurts. My throat is dry. Why do my arms feel so numb?
I was back in this room. No, no, this was a cell. A prison. They called it a research facility or a hospital. But no... It's not that.
It was hell. My own personal hell on earth.
The door opened. The man smiled unpleasantly.
Did he hate me this bad?
The next thing I knew, his body was dead on the ground.
The blood... is on my hands.
A sword was stuck in his stomach, his eyes lifeless as I couldn't bear the sight anymore.
I... I need to escape!
"AH!"
Collei shot up from her bed, as she sweated profusely. Her eyes were shaky, as she turned her head furiously to search around the room she was in.
It was the room in Cyno's house. Right.
It's just a dream... You... That's not even how it happened in real life.
It's just a dream.
She took deep breaths, as she calmed herself down. The girl stared at her bed, which had a few drops of sweat now mixed with the blankets.
After a small sigh, she got herself back to normal, now giving a small pointless laugh to herself.
"...A sword this time... I'm no good with swords..."
She mumbled, knowing that every time she used to pick up any type of blade she managed to cut herself. Even with small knives.
Collei decided to stand up from the bed she had slept on. Right. They were going to leave Sumeru City today.
Staring out to the city through a window, she noticed it was still early. Judging by the silence of the house, she was probably the first one awake.
"Mhm... I guess I should eat something."
She glanced at the room she was in. It was quite simple, and almost empty, if not for her bag already set up for their journey today.
Yawning, the girl left the room, being careful to not make much noise. She didn't want to see anyone angry at being woken up. Especially Tighnari. He's especially grumpy if he's woken up forcefully.
Now that she thought about it, the botanist always complained about Cyno doing the same. But she never saw him doing that when woken up.
Other than waking up late, the General Mahamatra didn't speak much after waking up.
Hm. Maybe it's just a thing between the two. Not that she'd know...
And-
"Whoa!"
She jumped back as she got scared by suddenly seeing someone walk right in front of her.
"Mitra!?"
The male seemed surprised at her sudden noise, but not as much at her presence. Did he already know she had gotten up?
"Oh. Sorry. Good morning."
He said so, apologizing for scaring her, to what she didn't mind that much.
The white-haired male had a book in his hand, and a few bandaids on his face, as he was... returning from the end of the corridor, where Cyno's room is...
