Garnet tossed under her sheets, reliving the recent events in her dreams. Her mother's death, Bahamut...then, then the explosion.
With a start she shot out of bed, not quite sure how Zidane had saved her, and not caring at the moment. She'd failed. People had died because of her...she...
...she had no idea where she was. Her heart stopped for an instant as she leapt out of bed, eyes darting around the small room before falling back down at her own small form. Someone had disrobed her! Feeling embarrassed, angry, and confused, Garnet turned to the girl in the bed beside her, about to demand an answer when the door opened.
"Hello, Jessica!" the woman greeted her brightly, "I'm your nurse - welcome to Landel's, dear." The rest of what she said made no sense. She had to "get better"? She was "ill"? And her name certainly wasn't Jessica.
Garnet opened her mouth to make some protest, demand an explanation - but nothing came out. Horrified, she tried again. No sound. The nurse looked at her with pity.
"Yes, your...condition. It's one of the things we're going to help you with. Considering it's something mental and not physical, we're confident we can help you overcome it. That is, if you co-operate." She then went to one of the drawers, pulling out a book and a writing implement Garnet had never seen before.
"You can use this to communicate, as well as post messages on the bulletin in the Sun Room. But for now, I think we'd better get you some breakfast." She beamed at Garnet, but the young queen simply shook her head furiously and gestured as best she could without words that she wasn't going anywhere without some better answers.
"Miss Alba, you'll never get better with that attitude," the nurse's tone became slightly less friendly. "Come with me, please. I don't want to have to ask you again."
Garnet glared for a moment, wondering if Ramuh would help her out of this situation easily before she realized she couldn't hear his voice. Panicking, she tried to reach him again - but there was nothing but a void, just as there was with her other missing summons. The nurse took advantage of her state to lead her into the cafeteria. Garnet didn't bother to shrug off the stranger's hand on her arm - she was alone in this strange situation. Where was Zidane? He wouldn't have left her behind...
