Singing broke through my subconscious. The bird chirped and tweeted, filling the air with her sweet tune. Warmth gushed over my skin. For once, I was content. Happy, even.

I arose with a stretch, joints popping. What should I do today...? My eyes finally opened, befalling the group. Oh yea! That happened.

Thirteen Days Remaining.

Slowly, I made my way to the group. I stepped over Kageyama to stand in the middle of their circle. Many of the members had bags under their eyes, almost as though they slept with a demon. Oh, wait. I grinned at the thought.

I dropped to a crouch, leaning over Hinata. The first-year looked so peaceful. His hair was wild, and a cherry-pink tint laid on his cheeks. Humans can be so adorable sometimes, I thought with a light tip of my head.

My gaze trailed away from his face, landing instead on his bandaged hand. Blood had oozed through the bandages. The once pure white was stained a murky brown.

Where...? I turned to find Suga's bag. Slowly, I used my foot to draw it closer. The zipper came undone quietly. Here they are.

I silently undid Hinata's bandages, nose wrinkling at the sight of his massacred hand. It's a surprise the Bond even worked with how bad his Kanji is, I noted mutely. I should probably clean this up. My hands rummaged through the stuff. Eventually, I was able to draw out a bottle of water and a handkerchief.

Hinata winced as the cool water caressed his skin, but he didn't awaken. The boy; truthfully, slept like the dead. Haha. The dead. I chuckled at my own joke as I cleaned the area, resealing my work with a fresh set of bandages.

I wonder if I wanted to be a doctor? My mind entertained the notion as I set away the stuff. It would explain my ability to wrap bandages, and my neutrality to blood. Too bad I'll never know. A sad smile lit my face as I returned Suga's bag.

My feet carried me forward, towards the gym doors. I opened the door hesitantly. The boundary sprung up almost immediately. A frown set on my face as I saw it. Tauntingly, the blue wall wreathed and danced.

I sighed, looking past the impenetrable barrier and towards the sun. It blinded my eyes. Recoiling, I couldn't help but to shield my eyes and grin. It's been so long since I've been able to see the sky without a window. A cool breeze toyed with my hair. Though small things, I couldn't help but be thrilled.

"You're awake?" I whipped around at the sudden voice.

Noya rubbed his eyes sleepily, yawning. His voice was much raspier than I had expected it to be in the morning. Though I suppose my voice never changes, so I wouldn't know. I nodded in response.

"Want some fresh air?" Noya brushed past me, awaiting my presence. The brunette paused when he saw I wasn't following. His eyes narrowed as he fought to see through the sun's early rays.

"I can't leave the gym," I mumbled. "I'm stuck here."

"...oh." Noya came back inside.

I watched despondently as the door shut behind him. Overwhelming jealousy coursed in my chest. It was almost painful. Why can they leave? I thought bitterly. Why am I the only one stuck here? My muscles began to strain, shaking. What do they have that I don't?

"Morning Raven, Noya." Asahi greeted, waving.

The thoughts were swept from my mind at his voice. I knit my brows in confusion. Nonetheless, I ignored the intrusive thoughts and greeted Asahi in turn.
