Day 62: Women's Showers (second shift)
[free]
The call for minors to head to the showers saw Tsubaki carefully folding up her clothing in front of an empty locker before putting the pile inside. If what the Head Doctor and the staff were saying was true, it was probably good it was a shower day--washing off would help keep the bug at bay, whatever it was.
Tsubaki hoped that what they were talking about was just the flu, but she couldn’t help thinking that was wishful thinking.
It was practically empty in the showers, so Tsubaki had her pick of shower heads. She chose one a little to the left of the door and stood for a moment with her arms wrapped around her chest as she waited for the water to turn warm. Many of the underage girls’ faces were familiar to her after so long in the Institute, but she wasn’t sure how old some of her new friends were. If they were in the same age bracket as her, she hoped she could say hi while she had the chance, but least she knew Rapunzel was okay--the girl’s long hair had been an unmistakable landmark at breakfast. Tsubaki had had to leave their room before Rapunzel had woken up that morning, but being that they were roommates there was always dinner time to catch up.
Taking some shampoo in her hand, she started washing her heavy curtain of hair. With luck the day would remain as peaceful as this.
With all the threats Landel was making, though, who knew what was going to happen.

She shivered again as she reached for the faucet, setting the temperature a little higher than normal. She felt usually cold today, though that was likely due to the Head Doctor's obvious threats. The man was planning something. He was always planning something nefarious and cruel, even when his voice carried a smile.
Ignoring the slight tremors, Aigis plunged herself under the water and began the cleansing ritual. She remembered the lessons Rei had given her on hair and body care and followed them to the letter. She still found the process to be unnecessarily complicated, but she wasn't one to judge anyone for being overly meticulous. It was clearly just another facet of just how different she was from other humans. But now was not the time to dwell on that.
As nice as her shower had been, she didn't wish to waste time unnecessarily. Aigis gave herself an acceptable amount of drying off, then speedily donned her outfit. The cheap fabric felt warm on her body, but something was still wrong. Perplexed, Aigis headed out of the shower and asked her nurse to escort her to the Sun Room.
