An older looking man about 4'3 wearing a red jacket over his shoulders walked the halls of Z. Corps. He chuckled a bit as he neared a tall metal door at the end of the hall. From the little window created by some bars a faint glowing purple light could be seen. As two guards standing in front opened the heavy door, the short man walked in. A women, already inside had a clipboard in her hand with some charts, wearing a pair of metal framed glasses, and a gold metallic wristwatch on a wrist, stood close towards the glowing object turned back to the man.

"General, is it that time already? If we wake it up, we run the risk of another potential burn out."

The short man laughed. "That is highly unlikely Ms. Nakamura. This one has last 18 times longer than those of the past. This one is the one that will fulfill our task."

"General Zho, she is still only a child and we can not change that! Her body is still frail like another girl her age. Please sir, I ask that you spare her a day to heal!" Ms. Nakamura begged.

"NONSENSE!" Shouted the general. "It is time. Wake up the girl!" He demanded! Those around lacrimas placed their hand on it and each started to glow one after the other. General Zho looked up chuckling to see a girl with long duo-colored hair cascading down covering her parts begin to glow bright within the amethyst crystal. Soon when the light was too over powering to look at. The girl opened her eyes, revealing that they too were duo-colored yet reversed in where the colors were. Her eyes were dull, as if the shine from them were ripped out. Then girl appeared in front of the crystal she was just in and looked down at the man. "Good morning General...." Was all she said before General Zho commanded "Let her daily treatment...begin."

From there the girl from the crystal was dragged from her room down the hall into another room that had lacrimas all around a hole. In that while were wires that would connected to the girl who would then be spread out as if she was trapped in a spiders web. Once hooked up she was spread out and stared at the ceiling. She waited for the pain.

"Sir, please! There is a high chance she won't survive the treatments this time!" Ms. Nakamura said again, still trying to knock some sense into the generals head.

"You have said that many times before, and yet she is still here. I do not want to hear of these warning anymore from you Nakamura." He said stern.

The girl in the wires heard the words and remained silent. However she did think to herself 'Ms. Nakamura better be right about it this time. For the past 18 years I have been doing this. I have been hooked up to this machine and many others as far as I can remember. I just want it to stop...'

"BEGIN!" The general's voice boomed forcing the girl out of her thought. Once again hands were placed on lacrimas and each glowed. Once all were lit, the girl was shot at both electrical currents. These currents were different strands of information that the girl would remember after all this was over.

"AHHHHHHHH!" The girl screamed once the first shock hit her. Pain spread throughout her body and tears were forming in her lifeless eyes. The pain was truly unbearable. Just imagine getting shocked by a thousand eels ever 5-6 seconds. "AHHHH!" Another scream reverberated throughout the room.

Ms. Nakamura shut her eyes as she listened to the girls screams and pleas to stop the torture.

About an hour or so after the screams started the girl was removed from the wires and dragged into another room. Ms. Nakamura followed as part of her job. In the next room there were chains attached to walls. They quickly set the girl up and someone stood a few feet from the girl with a brown whip in their hand.
