Night 62: F11-20 Hallway
Anise had been quiet that evening. She ate dinner quickly, changed her clothes, then lay down on her bed to rest. The night hadn't even started, and she already felt worn out. She hoped that closing her eyes for a bit would make the headache go away.
Unfortunately, the pain was still there by the time the Head Doctor's voice began to ring through the institute. And his message... was possibly the creepiest she'd ever heard. A bug, an infection, symptoms, and then...
Anise clutched her pillow tightly, trying not to imagine it too vividly, but against her will, the memories of the nurses' transformations came flooding back. Was that going to happen to them...? He didn't say what the symptoms were. What if the aches and malaise Anise felt weren't just from overexerting herself and being under stress, what if...
No. Anise wouldn't believe it. She couldn't accept that. But her mind continued to wander. What if it wasn't her, what if the friends who'd been strangely absent that day were actually...
Damn it, no! The longer she stayed put, the more her mind was going to linger on horrible thoughts like those. Anise shot out of bed, scrambled to grab her things, and shot out the door. She had to find Guy.

That nasty bug? Symptoms? Infection? As if declaring biological warfare on them (that was what it sounded like) wasn't bad enough, he then went on to say it would change them. That it would--
She let out a loud gasp. He's going to turn people into monsters! Her fighting stance loosened and she straightened, her eyes widening in shock. And he's trying to get everyone to turn against each other!
The 'nurse' had told her she was sick yesterday. Did that mean she was infected, or was it only people who were suffering symptoms today? Sonia looked at Mokona. She didn't seem sick whenever she was awake, but what if she was sick today? The princess tried to wake up the younger girl again; it didn't work, as usual.
She was too busy trying to remember if Tolten had had any symptoms to check if the hallway was clear before she left.
