Day 41: Women's Showers

[revolutionise]

Utena was very, very glad that the patients were finally being allowed to go to the showers. Even for a girl more used to sweating than many in her gender, two days without a shower was definitely enough to make her feel stickier and stinkier than she preferred to be. Especially after all the running around and tearing apart of rooms she, Celes and Edward had done the night before.

I really hope those rooms magically turned clean this morning or something, like every other place in here seems to, Utena thought at that, hoping that no patients had awoken to the rather desperate-looking remains of a break-and-enter.

Taking a wash towel from one of the baskets, Utena headed for a free showerhead.

Yeah, visibility was awfully poor in all directions outside the walls, and there hadn't seemed to be any change in thickness. Just cold, quiet, misty ground. Tsubaki rubbed conditioner into her scalp slowly, unable to help thinking about the reasons for an abandoned town to be out there, either. But the explanations she could imagine had dark ends--there were too many ways to wipe out an entire population, she'd found. She smiled slightly instead, masking her thoughts. "I don't know, it's a mystery to me. Do your friends have a theory?" Upperclassmen implied one or more went to school with Yukari in... Iwatodai, wasn't that right? "It must be a little reassuring to have people you know around. I hope they're doing well, too."

Everybody was working hard in their own ways, so progress would happen one way or another, even if it was only a little. Even if the answers, like the truth behind this place and the outlying land, weren't going to be pretty. But that was getting ahead of themselves.

Tsubaki mixed conditioner into the rest of her hair, then twisted most of it into a loose rope so that she could bring it back over her shoulder and rinse. "The townspeople might have something to say," she added lightly. They could provide a little enlightenment about Doyleton, maybe, even if it didn't seem like getting the day to wander the town had helped much in learning more about their situation. "It should be a nice break, anyway. No sitting on couches in our uniform."

A chance to get out and walk around without it being nightshift was something small to cheer up about, right?
