(Y/n) POV

Everyone's split off to their house directions leaving just me and Harvest walking home.

"Hey Harvest," He hums, "So... while I was out doing my thing. I may or may not have gotten a job at a maid cafe.." I look over at him. His eyes are wide open and he looked pale.

"Uh, Harvest are you al-?!" He suddenly grabs hold of my shoulders and shakes me violently. "WH-WHAAAaaAATTttTT ArrrEEE YYYYoooooUUUUU DdddDDDOOIIIInnnnGG?!" He stops as I hold my head, 'I swear if I get brain damaged because of this.' He squeals making me jump, surprised.

"That's awesome! But pleaseee tell me there's more to this? If not so help me I'll-." I quickly cut him off scared of what a child with the smarts of Einstein could do to me, "There is! There is! Promise." He nods for me to continue while crossing his arms doing a sassy pose, "I'll get thirty percent of funds from him, exposure to help this representative gig, free food for life and his help for anything he can do."

He nods, "And all you need to do is work there?" I nod, "Starting next Tuesday."

He smiles and drops his sassy pose, "Alright! Let's head home to get some shuteye." He skips along with me jogging behind him.

We quickly meet the front doors of our home and walk in. I turn on the lights and stretch as Harvest runs in shouting at me, "I'll be in my room! Night (Y/n)!"

"Night!" I walk to my room and shut my door behind me.

I go to my closet and take out a tank top with shorts, placing them on my bed.

I walk over to my bathroom and start the shower. I look at my reflection and sigh before taking off my sweater getting a good look at the scratch scars I got from the restaurant. I trace one of the lines across my torso to my side. 'That was the most intense day of my life probably.' I finish stripping and take the shower.

Timeskip brought by cute anime girls. They are super cute tho(=^^=).

I'm laying on my bed... just... thinking. I want to sleep but I also don't want too... strange.

I huff and shut my eyes just trying... to sleep.

It's dark. It's loud. I hear... yelling. At me? "Get off your lazy ass twenty-three!" I stand, "I apologize for my inconvenience I have caused you sir." Monotone. "You damn well apologize!" Slap! "Now wait outside until you get the signal to move out." He walks out of the dark green tent. I follow.

Grey sky's, men and women yelling, gunfire, barbed wire, metal hitting metal, explosions. War...? War.

BANG! I fall as most others do, screaming fills my ears along with a high pitched screeching sound. Smoke and fire are covering up my left peripheral vision. "Twenty-three head out! Now!"

I stand up running to a semi-auto gun on the floor. I slide behind a block and check the clip. Full. I pat myself down, one grenade, one smoke bomb, a pistol, five clips for the pistol, two knives. One on my waist band and one on my ankle.

I'm wearing army clothing. With a thin dark beige coat on. I look out to my right and left side, less enemy's on the right and more on the left. I'll take the right then the left.

I roll out of my position and shoot down two of four on my side. The other two are overwhelmed and can't focus on what's going on. Pathetic. I shoot the last two down and duck behind a trunk of stuff.

I rummage around the trunk finding, three semi-auto clips, rations, ten pistol clips, explosives, maps and clothes.

I place the three clips for my gun into some extra pockets and take a map. I look out from the trunk and see seven enemy's all spread out. Tch. This'll be annoying.

I check my clip and see I'm still pretty full. I take out one of the explosives from the trunk and toss it over to them. BOOM! Screams.

I look once more seeing five left. I throw out my smoke grenade. I hear gun fire as I rush in, keeping low to the ground. My height helps making me agile and stealthy.

I open fire seeing three figures meeting up slowly. They fall. More gunfire. I feel a bullet graze my arm but I'll be fine. I shoot down the last two and drop out my clip, reloading.

I get out of the smoke just to be met with- BOOM!

I sit up, sweating, confused, scared. I gulp and run to my bathroom, grabbing my phone.

I call Rani, setting my phone aside while I wash my face. I sigh and hear Rani's voice, "Hello?" He sounds tired, "Why are you calling me at four in the morning?"

"I had a dream." My voice is shaky, "And why did you need to call me?"

"It was about a war... they kept calling me twenty-three. I-it was loud and-an-and I was shooting.... killing people. And it felt so... real."

He doesn't answer but finally sighs, "Meet me in my office at five. I'll explain your confusion."

I huff, "Alright." I hang up and look at myself in the mirror.

My hair is all messy and disheveled, I look pale.. ish and I look like I just ran a marathon even though I'm calm now.

I sigh and hang my head down, "What the hell was that.." I mumble and shake my head, 'I'll just stay up and do something.'

I walk out of my room and into the kitchen. I grab a cup and fill it with some coffee even though I know water is probably better for me. I don't feel like cooking anything so I grab a bowl and fill it up with cereal and milk.

I eat and drink the coffee and cereal, it tasted alright surprisingly. But, just like that it was close to five.

I clean up and go to my room to get dressed.

I pick out a white tank top while wearing a white and blue flannel as a coat and jeans.

I grab some paper and write a note telling Harvest I had to leave early to talk with Rani and set it on the kitchen counter.

I sigh deeply while grabbing my satchel and anything else that's important or needed. I walk over to the front door and unlock it as I stand in the doorway looking outside.

'Let's hope he has a good explanation for all this...'
