Outwardly. It would appear that Hanako was where she'd been since the attack weeks prior. Though within the confines of her own mind? That was a different story entirely.




The hospital room was not the one that she was actually resting in. It was formed mostly of her memories of the room Chika Nakadachi rested in, and the remainder details were formed from her imagination to fill in the gaps. It was rather dark, with the blinds shut, and as well, it was exceedingly quiet.

But not for long.

"WAKE UP, BITCH!"

A sudden impact…pain!

She shot up out of bed with a start, clutching her cheek, or at least she attempted to. She was in a hospital gown, and away. She found that she was straddled by her. Or the skewed mirror reflection proportions exaggerated and distorted until they existed in the uncanny valley. Large, angrily glowing yellow eyes staring back at her. She was dressed similar to her, but her own gown was bloodstained.

"It's you."


"That's right, bitch. It's. Me."
Her Shadow leered back at her. "And if you're going to be so boring, you should just drop dead already!"

"Tch." She shoved her off and stood up. "Where am I?"

"Wow, they knocked you around pretty hard, huh? Isn't it obvious? We're in a hospital room!" Her bloodied doppelganger spread her arms around.

"No, I mean really in the real world?"

"The same, probably. Just waiting for that last gasp, y'know?"

"It'll be a long damn wait for that, let me tell you that." She bitterly shot back, and then opened the closed curtains.

There was nothing beyond them. Literally nothing: An endless void of blackness. It caused her to step back and gasp, and for her Shadow to burst into riotous laughter. She turned to the door, and opened it. Instead of further into a hospital she found the same.

"So! Anyways! Like I was saying. Looks like we're stuck here until you decide to drop dead already."

The hell she would!

"No…"

"Oh? No? Really? You're fine with this tiny little room? 'cause let me tell you after that beating you endured, and getting lit on fire? There's this, and they're dying, and those are your own options."

"No, I refuse to just die…"

"Heh! Where was that enthusiasm and will to live when it mattered? Oh, well, if that's your choice, make yourself comfortable hon. We're gonna be here for a long damn time."
