Day 40: Recreational Field

Kio's breakfast ended on a much happier note than it had started. However, for once the announcement truly surprised him. He blinked as his nurse came to pick him up. Recreational Field? But.. but if they had a greenhouse, he wanted to go there. The prospect of gardening was a truly liberating one, an island of joy in this hellhole. He thought about going to the Sun Room and lying down, but it occurred to him that he hadn't had proper fresh air since being here. With a cheery goodbye wave to Honey, he followed his torturer outside.

It was much better than he had expected. The sun wasn't too hot (what time of the year were they in, anyway?), so he walked slowly along the walls, fascinated by the size of the field. He wondered if Sou-chan was alright. He hadn't even checked the board. Well, if Soubi wanted to apologize, Kio would be willing to listen. The place was so crisp and clean. He had to think if anyone had ever gone over the walls. What was out there? Freedom? Or a different sort of monster?

Leaning against one of the walls, Kio took as much advantage of the sun as he could. He desperately wanted a lollipop. One was quietly nestled in his pocket, but he would need to wait until the nurses were busy with other patients before he tried anything. Soubi had gone to some trouble to get them, the least he could do was make sure they didn't get confiscated. So with bated breath, Kio waited for a shift in the mood. He was, for once, content. Not happy, but not going crazy either.

Allelujah smiled back hesitantly and nodded. "You have to choose your own path. If I'd allowed other people to decide my fate than I would have died ten years ago when they decided I was a failed experiment." And instead he'd found companions, friends even, or comrades at least, who had allowed him to fight to ensure no more like him were created. And even if she didn't remember, he'd been able to see Marie again. He nodded seriously, knowing Homura's words to be the truth. Celestial Being had been reviled by the governments, but used by them when it was convenient. The people in power always decided what was good or evil when it was convenient for them.

To have someone accept what he was, the two sides of him, that was a new experience. He looked over at the cuffs that Homura wore and it was easy to imagine them as shackles to contain power. "No-one can commit a crime just by being born," Allelujah said, frowning at that. "If it's a crime, then it rests on the heads of the people who came before. A child shouldn't pay for the crimes of the parents." He smiled bitterly. "Even if I'm a hypocrite for saying that." He'd heard them scream when he'd killed them, so many of his siblings who had been killed because he'd been hurt by the scientists.
