Night 63: Bus 1

By the time the darkness fell and the strange fluxing of air swept across the buses, Tolten still wasn't certain what was going on. Only that there was some problem with the final bus, and that they had been waiting to resume.

Of course now it was very certain that there would be no return trip tonight. Whatever the implications of that were, the young king had no idea. Nor did he spare a thought to it. Rather he found himself lurching to his feet and losing his lunch in the empty seat space behind him.

It was the only reaction his body could offer to what he saw unfold before his eyes, a twisted carnival show of gore and depravity the likes of which he had never imagined. Even the creatures in the sewers were less violent and torturous than this!

He knew he didn't have time for pity or wonderment as to whether or not the staff was always like that, under the surface, but his mind was slow to follow. He could only stare, shaking, his mind buzzing with fear and disgust and sorrow.

This was simply wrong!

After having a late lunch at the Twin Pines Restaurant, Chise once again spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the town by her lonesome self. On the bus ride back, she noticed a slight decrease in the number of patients and wondered if those that were gone gave into their false identities, or simply disappeared.

There was a horrible feeling in her gut when she noticed that the buses hadn't arrived at the institute the moment the sun disappeared across the horizon. She had glanced at stories on the bulletin board that described rare incidents where the nurses would turn into monsters while the buses traveled back from the town. It never happened to her before, so this would be the first time experiencing such horrors before her eyes.

Chise could only stare in shock as the nurse on the bus transformed into a horrific, grotesque monster, lashing at the patients closest to it. Many patients ran past her, racing towards the emergency exit. Even if she were to use her cannon to kill the nurse, there were too many patients in close proximity that would get caught in the blast. And so, she took the best option and followed the rest through the emergency exit.
