Until I See You Again: War Of The White Lion

The Pink Paladin

Allura's POV

Shivering from the outside air, Adam walks through the doors to the entrance of the whitewashed building hugging his arms close to his body for warmth. As he steps inside and gets used the temperature change, he slowly stops shivering.

The Sendai base administrator ushers us inside. As I open my eyes to the surroundings, I see that this place looks somewhat like the Galaxy Garrison HQ, but the walls are plainer, whiter. There's a rigidness and strictness here. It's almost like a vapor in the air. Something tells me we are going to be watched all the time.

The administrator pulls out what looks like a small speaker and clips it to the collar of his uniform jacket. It looks like an audio piece. The administrator starts speaking, but as he does, the small audio piece begins to translate his words into English.

"This is the Medical Atrium. Some of you have injuries that need medical attention right away. Um, where is Officer Shirogane?" the administrator asks.

"Outside, reuniting with his siblings," Adam explains promptly.

"Excellent. I will see to him in just a moment. As for you all, follow me to your individual rooms please."

We follow the administrator down a whitewashed hall. There are signs on the walls and overhead us but the strange writing, I can't decode it. They don't look like pictures. Some simpler looking symbols repeat but more complex looking symbols stand alone.

"Adam, can you read that?"

"I can try."

(Still using google translate)
 
"回復. It means recovery."

"What does that one say?" Pidge asks.

Adam bearly looks at the symbols. He leans closer to pidge and whispers the answer instead of saying it aloud.

"It's the Psychological Illness Ward."

"Depression Ward?" She asks.

"Depression Ward." He confirms.

Pidge doesn't ask any more questions. Neither do I.

Eventually, we come to a hallway with numbers on the doors, each bearing our name and some symbols underneath.

"In each room, there is a uniform for you to wear and some basic technology pieces. You will get a keycard, an iwatch X, and a translator earpiece. Your Iwatch X will allow you to send messages, obtain information, and direct you through the Base. You all have the rest of the day to rest and recover. Pidge, Lance, Keith, and Hunk, you four will be escorted to different parts of the base where your injuries can be taken care of. You will follow me, but for the rest of you, I advise you get sustenance and sleep."

We all go into our rooms and let the others follow the administrator.

As I walk into the door, I find it's quite pleasant. The warm tones of color are very comforting. The room is simple, but it is relaxing. The window shades are drawn halfway, letting light come into the room and fall across the hardwood floors. A closet off to the side is open with multiple sets of uniforms, but a special jacket is left on a hanger.
I pull it out and touch the thick fabric, noting the silky interlining. Taking it off the hanger, I lift it up to get a better look. The shoulders and a line down the sleeves are colored pink, there are two gold stripes on the shoulders, it buttons down the side, and a belt that loops around the waist bears the Voltron V on the buckle. I look down to see my filthy and damaged Paladin armor. Immediately, I see to that my door is closed and locked before I slip off the armor pieces and undersuit. I change into comfortable sweatpants, boots, and a T-shirt. I slip the pink jacket over my shoulders and button it on the side. It's form fitting, but it's comfortable, breathable, and I can move easily in it. I close the closet door to find a mirror. Upon seeing my reflection, I step back to take in the full view. Hands on my hips, I admire the jacket but I notice the dirty armor on the floor by my feet.
