"so where does blue milk come from?"

"what do you mean?"

"I mean where does it come from?"

"you drink blue milk?"

"yeah! dont you?"

"isn't that weird?"

"no, blue milk with like other lumps of milk in it!"

*gagging noises*

"I think you're drinking gone off milk..."

"yeah, milk should not be blue, or have lumps."

a conversation was happening in the corner of the dark room, surrounded by darkness, a single light coming from the window above the door into the room. three boys sat, knowing they were trapped for a long time and also knowing that there had been a new addition to the room.

they had seen some of the men enter earlier with the body of a girl, but then they left and this conversation began.

the room was quite large. dark and musty. but it wasn't cold, it was actually quite warm. these boys had been here for a while and so they were used to the conditions that the area gave. they had no clue which universe they were in, as they also had the ability to switch, but there were one of few to have more than the single ability.

the tallest of the three, rowoon, had been here the longest. he knew the timings that things seemed to happen. he had also seen many people come and go, but the two who were with him currently had been longer than anyone else and it didn't seem like they were going anytime soon.

the room wasn't always in darkness. it was currently night so they had switched off the lights, in order for them to be able to sleep but it didn't seem like they'd be sleeping anytime soon. the three had become friends quickly after the other two were thrown in at night onto rowoon while he was sleeping.

hwiyoung and chani were both found one night just wandering the streets talking, they at the time didn't know about their powers as they were from the normal universe, like min-ju. however they never had anyone to tell them about their powers. rowoon was from the alternate universe and taught the other two how to use their powers.

the nameless were collecting them and pushing them to get out all of their abilities, training them to be some machine that could kill people, although they definitely didn't seem like it.

min-ju sat in the opposite corner of the room, having awoken a few minutes ago in order to be able to hear the conversation that was currently taking place. she was initially scared, however she found some comfort in the strange voices on the other side of the room.

she looked around scanning the room carefully, her eyes adjusting slightly and se could see the room around her. there were a few beds here and there, also she wasn't actually tied up to anything, which seemed a tad suspicious but she didn't think too much about it.

the three boys, who she could barely see in the darkness, seemed to be all sat together on one a small sofa on the opposite side. looking around it didn't seem to look like a place where you would keep someone captive. there was also a small digital clock on the wall that read the time 6:34am. how long had she been asleep for? which universe was she in?

she began questioning details in her head before hearing a huge sneeze, followed by a disgusted shriek and small giggles.

"chani, that is disgusting." hwiyoung shrieked out, looking at the younger who had essentially just blew his brain out his nose. "sorry," chani giggled again, "do you have any tissues?"
