A failure.
Their corpses to be switched. A donor. One to live and one to give.
The experiment was a failure. But a failure that could be fixed. There were two. Two test subjects. one male and one female. Rin and Len Kagamine. Identical twins, with the same short, golden hair and figure. Both with one blue and one yellow eye. Blue eyes meant success. The experiment had partly failed. It could be fixed but only at someone's expense.
White, white, white here and there...it's all white. 'This hospital that feels more like a blank prison'.
He needs an escape from this white imprisonment. He isn't chosen to live. Rin's clueless but Len knows one will be killed. The dead one's blue eye taken to put in the other. Once they do, the experiment will be a success.
Suddenly, in all the white, there's red. A killing spree. The scientists fall, scarlet covering their chests. Len has somehow gotten a knife and he'd taken his chance. 'If I don't take it, i'm sure to never live another day'. Failures were to be broken and recycled, and a failure he was.
As he races down the hallway that may lead to the front entrance, he hears a scream and stops. He looks to his left and sees another failed experiment. Len knows this person. The blue haired girl pressed against the small door window lets out another scream of pain as she is destroyed. Blood pours down, down, down. Her shirt says DONOR, just like his does. The sign of a failure.
As he keeps running, he hears more screams. This time, from many other people. There are splashes of crimson red blood as they are dismembered. For what, he doesn't know. And he doesn't want to know. They seem to send a message ,"You cannot escape."
Luckily, he has a chance of leaving. No one has spotted him yet. It's like he's invisible. 'Once I get out, I can live a happy life with no pain or madness.' His happy train of thought dies as he realizes that he is lost in this white jail. He has been in this hellhole for more than a year and he doesn't even have a clue where he is.
Where, where, where. White all here and there.
This makes all he'd accomplished seem small and insignificant. Dropping to the floor in frustration and anguish, he starts to weep. 'All this trouble for nothing'. Then, he hears footsteps. He panics until he realizes he still has his knife. His weapon. His sanctuary...and his last resort.
As the figure reveals itself, he sees it is only his dear sister. She has no idea why he is on the floor, helpless and crying. He has no idea why she's out here. Roaming.
Maybe she has an idea of where to go. He should at least ask. "Where is the exit?"
Rin says he's close to the main entrance. "There", She points the way to freedom with a smile, oblivious to his intentions.
He feels a pang of guilt at leaving her here. But he can't just take her. It would be noticeable. On the other hand, no one would miss him. They'd just find someone to replace him.
Or just terminate the remaining test subject. After all, she was another failure. Without him, she would most likely by disposed of.
Right now was not the time to think about that. The regret would come later, with hoarse cries of anger and hurt. He wipes his tears away and drops the knife. He won't need it any more.
He says one final word to her. "Goodbye." Then, he goes.
Rin looks after him, confused and a little sad. She doesn't know why he would want to leave. The people are nice. At least to her. She looks around. The Disposal Place, a door reads. Odd. She thinks she would have noticed it before. She catches a glimpse of something shiny. And sharp. A blood-stained knife laying on the floor. Extremely odd...
She hears a voice calling her. It's a group of four scientists. They want to know where Len is. Rin points in the direction Len went. She doesn't think much about it.
At least until she sees what they're holding. Weapons. All of them have one. A sledgehammer, a blade, and more than ne gun. All used to harm people and she has an idea of who.
She can't believe it. Len might be less special, but he still deserved to live. No. They couldn't do this! She wouldn't let them.
The knife. It was still on the floor, untouched. She has to save him. Rin closes her eyes, and when they open, both eyes are the same color. Red...blood-red.
She dashes off. "Over here." Her voice catches the attention of the scientist nearest her. A man. As he turns around, he can see a glimpse of her. Then he falls forward, blood flowing from the stab wound. Rin slices his neck and moves on. The man's eyes roll back into his head and the smell of fresh feces fills the nearby air. Dead.
As all this happens, Len is still running. He's almost there when he falls. A move that almost costs him his life. The remaining three scientists catch up to him and surround him. One raises a gun to the temple of his head and...
All three fall down. Blood runs onto the stark white floor.
"Your blood sprays out, showering me in a curtain of red." It's Rin. She's grinning in spite of the mess and her eyes are filled with bloodlust.
Len hears a whisper next to him. It comes from one of the near dead scientists, this one female. "Keep your eyes on what's nearby you." The woman's head lolls back and he knows she's gone.
Black, black, black. All here and there, black.
Rin stands above him. "Wherever. Who knows?" she says, no longer sane.
"Black, black, black. All here and there...Where? Here, there, and there. There's nothing to see."
"This way, that way. Over there," is the last thing he hears before he passes out.
Black floods his mind.
Engulfing him...
'Oh, won't you turn around.' A voice wakes him. To a sad sight. He's being dragged off to his death by scientists. But that's not him. It looks just like him, but it's not. It can't be, because he's here, dressed in his own...bow and sailor skirt?
Len understands. Rin's sacrificing herself for his sake. Switching their clothes was a smart idea. If only both of them could live through it. But she's being taken to her death room, the Disposal Place, where she'll be ripped apart and her body parts will be stored for further experiments. Her eye will be given to him and he will live on as her. Just as Rin wishes.
He looks at Rin and she looks back at him. She smiles and opens her mouth to say her final words.
"Their bodies have been replaced, but you're still nobody."
