Day 34: Breakfast

[starting off in M13]

The last part of the night was little more than a blur in Homura's mind. The men had rushed in, but not joined them, instead staying off to themselves. Before any of them had a chance to react, however, a voice sounded through the air, mocking some other person Homura had never heard of, and the patients themselves.

To Homura, whoever that man was, he sounded a great deal like a god.

But before he could ask questions, the demi-god found himself no longer in the chapel, but some strange room on a bed. Is that what Kenren had meant from his earlier warning? Homura sat up, glad at least that the world didn't spin when he did so. Then the same man from before began to speak again, with a completely different tone. It was confusing to hear him talk that way, calling them patients instead of prisoners as he had before. Homura listened quietly as the announcement was made, then got out of bed.

Maybe he wouldn't have to go anywhere yet. It wasn't like Homura knew where to go anyway, and that meant he had time. If this was his room, and if he had been here as long as Kenren had said, there was a chance he could find something with answers. The Taisho had even told him that Homura had seen Rinrei. Certainly he would've written something down, made a map, something that could let him find her again! He started with the desk at the end of his bed, first finding a small stack of notebooks. Picking up the first, he flipped through, turning the pages with quickening desperation as he found each one to be blank.

"Military training, huh? Should have guessed," Wally said with a wry smile, massaging his wrist again. "Remind me not to try and get between you and your food come lunch time."

He tried to keep his face as neutral as possible when Max talked about other people losing their abilities, but it was difficult with the sudden sinking feeling in his stomach. He was still hopeful that his own powers had been unaffected, but it was sounding more and more unlikely. That Bulletin Board sounded interesting though.

"Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out when I next get the chance." Wally took a few moments to think over what Max had been telling him over breakfast. "So, how long has this thing been going on? People getting kidnapped to this place? The way you've been talking about it... How long have you been here?" he asked, suddenly afraid of the answer.
