Everything felt gentle, yet It felt bitter. It was colorful, yet gloomy... but... I recognize, the field of the fresh blue yard, fireflies shimmering a route, and the trees giving an elegant atmosphere. It felt extraordinary like it wasn't tangible. But I was there, "Cher-Cher!! Come on now!" I turned my head to the voice, it was somebody in blue, their face... it was hazed. "Who ..." "Dad!! Come on we are gonna play !" The same thing for the little one in a pastel yellow. They seem so familiar yet so... distant. "Wh.. who are..." I tried to remember, I groan as I felt a headache coming in. Abruptly I felt myself getting colder and colder, the field started to cloud over and wither, and the two started to get devoured in the dark, I panicked. Hastily trying to sprint and reach for them, only for the ground to rumble and break under me. It was dark, I saw the minor glow above me fade away, I knew I was plunging down but... There was no breeze. It... oddly felt soft. I hugged my arms together, closing my eyes. embracing it... I felt a splash on my back and I opened my eyes. Acknowledging I was in a liquid, was this... water? I tried to swim up, but something yanked my leg back. I went below and attempted to pry it off, but it was no use. I started to lose my breath, I desperately tried to do everything to get it off. But it was nothing, my nose filled with liquid and my limbs began to diminish. I felt myself get strained, I can't... not now. I need to... to... my eyes felt heavy, I don't want to die here,.,! I... I have so many questions that need to be answered!

...

I eventually gave in, my eyes drooped and shut closed... my body becoming colder and colder, this all seemed so... unrealistic. Maybe it is, but I wouldn't know.

"... how is his status ?" "He seems stable, all of the stats are balanced and vitals are great." "That's reassuring, when do you think we can release them?" "We can do that today if you wish." "Hm... well no harm in doing so, in fact, if they're stable think we should release him." "As you wish Dr. S." The figure in a white coat walked to the pod, where someone was in green liquid, having many tubes and strings attached to them. They looked down on the pad of the subject and adjusted some settings before typing, a red button rises from the desk and they pressed down on it. The green liquid slowly but surely drained from the pod, the tubes popping out of the subject. Dr. S clapped, signaling a few guards to be summoned. The subject slowly fluttered their eyes open, they looked around before their senses came to them and looked worried, quickly pushing their back on the glass, farther from the rest. "Wh-- what is -- who are you ?!" Dr. S smiled. "Oh don't worry! We aren't going to hurt you, you may refer to me as Dr. S. You'll be spending quite some time here ." "What -? Why am I here ?!" "Wow, many questions who only has just woken up after a few couples of years being in a coma hm?" "Y... years ..? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN ?!" They suddenly banged on the glass, looking desperate for a solid answer. The security didn't take that lightly and held their guns up, the subject quickly backed off of the glass. "... if you were to be patient, It would be easier for both you and me ." Dr. S sighed, going closer to the pod, and smiled, but it wasn't reassuring. "There has been an incident, one who almost destroyed the entire universe. But luckily you, including a few others, even those from another world have been saved and brought here. If anything you should be thankful, thankful for us saving you from the unfortunate cause of death ." ... the subject looks at them with a distraught face, looking much more lost. "Hm ... do us a favor and try to imagine or think of before ." The subject looked down, trying to think. "G- owow shit-!" They rubbed their head, looks like they had a migraine from that . "as I thought, looks like your first experiment was a success. Now let us see ... would you like a new name or your old one, hm?" "What? What type of question is that ?!" "... alright, I assume you want your old one, expect some side effects due to that. Cherry Jam," he looked at him, slowly remembering bit by bit . "Oh enough of that now! Koritsu! Escort C-48 to the changing room. "Ah ? Oh, okay I understand ." "Great . I'll be taking my leave, oh, and take this ." Dr. S tossed a small remote to the girl, presumingly named 'Koritsu'. She looked at it nervously before pocketing it, and looked back at where Dr. S was but -- he nor the security was there. She rushed to the keypad, pressing a few buttons here and there. the pod soon opens with a bit of mist exiting it. Cherry was unsure and looked like he wasn't planning on moving, Koritsu sighed. "C-48, I would request you to exit the pod and follow me ." Cherry shook their head. "THAT ISN'T MY NAME !" He shouted, taking the other a little back. He sighed in annoyance. "No -! What are you going to do with me ?!" "Please remain calm ! We won't harm you in any way or form !" "And how can I trust you ?" "... you aren't the only one here -! You wouldn't want to stay here forever right ? There are others here that you can talk to ! You aren't meant to be alone here !" "..." Cherry looked to the side, looking back and hesitantly stepped out, still looking defensive. "... what do you want now?" He angrily asked. "Ah, okay we just want you to get changed in the subject's uniform! "... the subject ?" "Oh now that you say it yeah it seems pretty misleading, it's just a simple name don't worry-! Come with me now!" They happily turned around and started to exit the room, Cherry hesitantly following behind. Upon leaving the room there was a hallway ahead of them, there were huge windows, tinted with black but it wasn't opaque. Cherry squinted, there was another pod with a pink-haired lady, more people that are assumed scientists were in there, taking notes. ... is every room in this hallway filled with capsules-? Cherry began to become more disturbed than irritated. Though he's kind of glad he'll be getting out of this... White down, hopefully, they give something a little more appealing. ...Oh what is he thinking of? He is in some random lab, being told their world has been obliterated, and he's worried about his clothing. He sighed, knowing he needs to take this more seriously. ... who are they..? He tries to think about them again, shutting his eyes. The blue one... and pastel yellow.. suddenly it all became distorted and he heard a rambunctious white noise resulting in him holding his head in anguish, stopping in his tracks. Groaning, he stumbled and was now balancing himself on the wall. "Ah-? Oh no, what's the matter?" Koitsu ran next to them and helped them walk through the rest of the hallway. "... you shouldn't think much of the past, for now, there's a reason why but I can't help you with that. I apologize,.!" Cherry mumbled. "Hhgg... okay it's fine, thanks... uh..." Cherry stuttered. "oh? Just call me Kor!" She gently smiled, "alright, Thanks Kor." "Mhm! Anyways, we are almost there, sorry it's such a long way." "It's okay." Soon the two took a few lefts and rights before finally entering a door, it was a changing room. "Are you okay to stand on your own now?" "Oh erm-.,. Yes I think so," He stopped holding their arm, stumbling a bit but regained their posture. "Gh-- okay yeah I'm alright, oh geez." "Okay great ! Now please go in heeeereee..." She walked over to a curtain, pulling it back showing a metal box with a glass screen. Quickly rushed to the control pad and typed a few things, causing the capsule to open up. "It might be seen as intimidating at first but it is not harmful, I reassure you!" Cherry didn't become any more comfortable but dusted it off, hesitantly walking in. Kor pulled the curtain back, and the noise of tapping and typing was heard on the other side. "Alright now this will be a little odd but it's not going to hurt !" "Wh- what does that m-OH G-" Suddenly two robotic hands came in and changed Cherry, he was embarrassed trying to swipe it away. It seemed like it expected it though as it grabbed both of his wrists, putting on new clothing that fitted his style. However something was clipped on his neck, it was a collar with a green light on it. The robotic hands finally let him go as Cherry was left extremely uncomfortable and disturbed, he tried to calm down afterward due to that, certainly being something. The door opened as Kor nervously pulled back the curtains, "s... sorry about how it works -- I don't make them ha--" "please tell me I don't ever have to go through that again." "Erm.... no pretty sure you don't-- anyways," she quickly typed a few things as a mirror dropped down in front of Cherry. "How is it? Do you think it fits you?" Cherry turned to see his full outfit, it was a simple red sweater and black flare pants. It was alright for him, he nodded. "Yyyyyeah I think so?" "Great! We are trying to make all of our subjects feel comfortable here, well next thing on our list is to measure you, your height, your weight, etc." "Eh? Why?" "We need to record if any of these has changed before you've been in a coma, so please follow me!" "Oh, alright--" the two entered the same hallway from before, however it was much nearer as the two entered a room with a lot of scales, Koritsu looked at Cherry and guided him to the weighing scale. Cherry hesitantly stood on it, Koritsu taking out a clipboard and looking at the number, quietly writing down what it showed. "Hm... so the weight is still average but only 3 pounds less from before... alright next is the heights!" She walked over to a metal ruler on the wall, Cherry walked to it, putting his back on the wall and standing upright. Koritsu pulled down the metal slab connected to the ruler and wrote down the number the slab laid on Cherry's head. "Huh, you've gained a centimeter." "Is that bad-?" "No, but it is a little odd-- anyways we have a lot more ahead of us so just get ready!" She smiled as Cherry groaned.

"Are we done yet..??" Cherry yawned, as Koritsu was measuring his waist. "Almost done just this one and that's it! ʷᵒʷ ⁱᵗ'ˢ ˢˡⁱᵐ- ooohkayy!! That remained the same, we are done!!" Cherry grumbled as he slumped on the doctor's bed he has been sitting on for the past hours, closing his eyes. "Oh come on don't sleep here! You have a room assigned you to know !" She walked to the trash and disposed of her gloves, jotting down more on her clipboard as the shuffles of paper were heard, Cherry tiredly getting up. "Wha..? There is?" "Yeah, well... temporarily that is, you have a room to yourself for the next few days however you are going to move to a room with eh... 2-3 more subjects here," "...why do you keep saying subject-?" "... d... do you not know?" Cherry looked more concerned, Koritsu sighing. "You aren't here to just... live a life here, you are here with other people to have experiments performed on you." Cherry felt nervous, thinking of all the probabilities. "But listen! We aren't going to make them fatal nor harmful, it's just simple data collecting and small changes okay-?" "W- well what about these things -?" He jerked on the metal collar on his neck. "That's-- that's for subjects who start to go berserk, basically those who are going to cause harm and or not complying. But it will rarely happen so please don't overthink it !" Cherry didn't seem much comforted, Koritsu sighed. "Let's... let's just get you to bed okay -?" Cherry slowly floated off of the bed and the other walked to the door, letting Cherry out first before guiding them to the small rooms. Koritsu looked a lot more nervous, opening a door with a key and Cherry hesitantly walked in, seeing that it was honestly decently furnished. "Hey... so it's a policy that we lock the door, I'm sorry, but I'll bring you food tomorrow morning!" Cherry glanced back and just gave a simple nod, Koritsu closing and locking the door. The lights shut off, Cherry looked around, it was all okay and nothing seemed to be suspicious. He sighed, got on their bed, and curled up, closing his eyes. Mumbling in a soft voice.

"How long do I have to be here?"
