If there was one thing that Nia understood since she arrived it was that they weren't supposed to be here at all, but she didn't know how or why, or even when of all things, never mind where everyone else was!
And now she was sleep-walking! ... Or at least having a really weird dream when she woke up on the same hard bed with the hard pillow and hard everything else, almost as if everything she did last night didn't happen at all. But she could've sworn that she met a sweet and cute girl named Ion and her friends Anise and Emperor, and everything surely looked the same from when she left the night before.
Of course, she could've sworn that she had been the only one there as well, but now there was certainly another head poking out from the other bed across from her, and Nia could make out long streaks of brown before she heard the door opening.
"Good morning Rachel! Did you sleep well?" For a moment Nia sat there, looking between the new woman and the girl who was still sleeping, who really may have not been sleeping because the lady called for someone. But then quickly blinked when she walked over to her own bed, leaning in a little and gave the former princess a quick pat on the head. The teen was confused, but oh wait! This was another world wasn't it? Maybe she just didn't understand...
"Good morning!" Nia spoke up cheerily before sheepishly smiling at the moment. "If it is not too much trouble, may you please tell me what a 'Rachel' exactly is?"
However, the last thing the former princess was expecting came out of the lady's mouth.
"Why, that's your name. Don't you remember?"
"I...! ... No..." Now Nia was just confused. Why did she call her Rachel instead? She opened her mouth to ask, but the nurse was already helping her off the bed and into her slippers before ushering her out of the room.
"No, I am quite sure that my name is Nia. But is that what this place does? Does everyone get new names when they come here?" Ever the curious one, the girl carefully followed her nurse's timed footsteps as they descended down the hallways and eventually to the Cafeteria. By then it was bustling with people, people who were humans with no feathers or claws or sharp teeth at all! It was the type of thing that reminded her very much of the Dai-Gurren, and so she couldn't help but find comfort in it.
"You will understand the longer you stay here, Rachel. Now come, let's see if you can make some friends."
After leaving her on her own to gather some food (cinnamon rolls, what is that?), it didn’t take long for Nia to spot her aforementioned friend. Oh, Ion! She almost felt embarrassed because she almost didn’t believe her own memories. How could she forget someone so nice?
She was about to walk over to her and another girl when she spotted the most curious thing. It was another person, a lady much taller than her, who was eating her cinnamon rolls in such a grand manner. Nia couldn’t help but let curiosity get the better of her as she made her way over and set her plate down across from her.
"Is that how you are supposed to eat them?" She spoke in an impossibly eager voice. The food must have tasted so good if it made one eat like that!
