Lily looks like her, sans the maid dress.  Idk, I just kinda wanted an oc besides Sparrow, so here we are.

Time passed.  Sometimes, it felt like time was standing still, like there would be no end to this dull and monotone routine.  

Wake up.

Test. 

Read.

Practice.

Sleep.

Over. 

And over.

And over.  

Whenever it got to the point I felt like I was going crazy, I would stare at the pictures I had taken of the trio plus Don and Gilda.  It kept me grounded and reminded me that there were people who need me. 

The more time I spent in Lambda, the more I can understand why Norman turned into a genocidal Minerva-poser.  The isolation would've made anyone a little crazy.  

I found myself glad I was less emotional than the average person.  The only time I ever found myself craving company was when I thought of the trio.

 So my life went in the same boring cycle.  The only difference being the difficulty of the tests.  

And that brought me to the present, where I was standing in my bathroom, looking into my bathtub.  

It's about fucking time, I thought, leaning into the wall, panting.  It was November 8th, 2046.  I had started practicing my abilities 8 months ago, and I had finally done it.  

I had brought the temperature of the water from 38°C to absolute zero and back 65 times.  I could now kill every human and demon in this facility.  Now all I had to do was commence the plan.

The next day started like any other.  I woke up, the doctor took my vitals, and I tested.  After getting a perfect 200, I was walked back to my room, escorted by a doctor and three demons.

And then all of a sudden, I fell to my knees, panting heavily, and clutched my chest where my heart was.  

"D-doctor," I cried, breathing rapidly.

"58194, is there a problem?" The doctor asked, turning to me.  I looked up at him, gasping.  I took the chance to freeze the eight cameras in the hallway, and the ones above us crashed to the floor with a thud.  The doctor whipped his head around, looking toward where one of the cameras had fallen, my distraction successful.  I froze the doctor's heart, just as he looked at me, his eyes wide.  

"5...8..."The doctor wheezed out, his skin going pale.  Then, he fell to the metal floor.  

The demons looked at each other, then at me.  

"What the hell is going on?" One of them asked in demon language.  

"How should I know?"  The other replied.  I froze them quickly, making them both fall as well.

I got up and grabbed the doctor's keycard from his lab coat's pocket.  Then, I ran down the hallway and was met with two demons that were running in the opposite direction.    

They halted when they saw me, getting a couple of spears at the ready to attack me.  Without breaking my sprint, I froze both of their cores, letting their bodies drop behind me.  I turned down a few hallways and killed a few demons who were roaming around on the way. Eventually, at the end of one hallway, I opened the door with the stolen keycard and entered a circular room with a glass elevator in the middle that could fit a couple dozen of people.
