[3] Sweet Dreams... Or Nightmares~

I slowly walked to my bed, rubbing my eyes tiredly as I was in my room. It was about 8PM, but I didn't want to do anything with anyone.. I think I'll have a nice sleep... Yeah, that'll refresh me. I couldn't get the image of her impaled body, and everything just went so fast... All of us just realized what she did to him... I shuddered at the thought, as I crawled into bed in my pajamas. I snuggled up in my blankets, trying to get some rest.. I turned off the lights.

....I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I just wanted some rest, please.. I couldn't force my body to just sleep like this! I was shaking, just shivering at the thought of maybe somebody was out there... Plotting a murder..

...

Nah. I doubt.. We just finished the case..

I need to shut up, I need to stop thinking.. I closed my eyes, trying to force my body to sleep. It was so difficult. I had no idea what time it was, but it was probably getting late.. I guess I could take a nap later, but what could I do for the meantime? I couldn't really leave my room without getting in trouble with Monoroku. I don't want to risk it. I slowly decided to rise up from my bed, smiling weakly as I went to go tiredly grab the watering can and fill it up from the sink in my bathroom.. I turned on the lights of my room, my eyes squinting as I tried to adjust.. It was 2:36 AM. I dragged my body over for the plants, holding the watercan in my hands.. I noticed them visibly shaking.. Maybe I'm cold? I began to water the plants, tending to them.. It was sorta my job, after all. I haven't taken very good care of them.. Like I have myself.

Just doing this made me feel at peace, as a small smile tugged as I watered. It was just a nice thing to do, it really was. You'll be okay, Leafy.. You'll survive! I'm sure they still care for you, Leafy. I swear.. Please.. Don't give up now... I held the watering can tightly as I moved to the next plant, closing my eyes, annoyed. I needed to stop thinking that everything and everyone's fine.. Everyone clearly isn't.. We just witnessed 4 people die. Of course everything's not fine! I'm pretending everything's fine while everything isn't. I needed to do something about it.. I needed to make sure no more deaths happen!

oh my fucking god.

I took a deep breath, going back to reality as I realized I overpoured too much water in the plant. I gasped, feeling tears go down my face as I tried to wipe them off. I felt horrible, just thinking about it. I placed the watering can back where it was earlier, before going back to the bathroom to wash my face. I needed to calm down. I'm not going insane. That's exactly what he wanted.

Wait.

...What's this? I fished something out of my bag, I tilted my head in curiousity.. It was a photograph, seemingly at the bottom of my bag.. I was so confused, shifting it around. I turned it facing me, and that's when I saw them. My friends. All in a happy group together, just talking.... With me.. Right in the middle of the group. We all seemed so happy.. But now I don't know if I'd ever see them again. I miss them so much... I sighed as I put the photograph back in the bag, stuffing it deep in there so I never have to see the people I love ever again. I hope I can get out of here, someday. I sighed, looking myself in the mirror as I held the sides of the sink tightly. I needed to see myself.. I needed to calm down. I'm sure I'll get back to Goiky.. Back in my highschool, where all of my friends are... Maybe bring my new friends from this diaster over.. I looked away, parting from the sink as I went to walk over back to my bed. I needed rest. That's what I wanted... I'm.. just so tired.

I collapsed onto my bed, spreading out as I began to doze off into a deep sleep.. I only saw the endless void of nothing, listening.. hearing... Nothing. It was just me and my thoughts. Alone. Together. I had nothing to dream of, as a few seconds later in that dark void I suddenly saw light. I woke up. I sat up, just rubbing my eyes as I looked up and at the clock. It was a bit past 8AM, and it seemed that I slept in for a little... I didn't mind. It wasn't a big deal to me, I just... I just wanted everyone to stop arguing and fighting, and finally befriend each other.. We can maybe survive past this if we'd stop killing. Though.. That's a fantasy that would probably never come true. I got up from bed, going right for the cafeteria in my sleepwear. I didn't even bring my bag with me for once. Not like I cared.

I just wanted to see all of them.. Alive. I walked out of my room, heading for the cafeteria quietly. "...Hey." I turned around to see Liy, standing there with a upset look. She didn't seem to have much sleep either, having small bags under her eyes. "...Oh, hey Liy." I tried to force a smile, looking at her. She probably was upset because of the trial yesterday. I wouldn't blame her.. Everyone fought.. Accused each other.. That's not what I wanted to see in us. "Going to get breakfast?" I nodded in response, gazing right at her.. I examined her body, as her posture seemed much more different from usual. "Can I, erm, join you?" She asked as if it was some sort of crime to, which I smiled.. I didn't want her to worry. I wanted her to feel happy and safe, and she's one of my close friends in this place. "Yeah. That'd be nice!" I attempted at being optimistic, going to grab her hand as I began to lead her for the cafeteria. I hummed, trying to add something positive today... Everyone probably was upset, or uncomfortable with Bracelety's plot... I mean.. She sacrificed David for her lustful feelings. I felt horrible for Dora, and I just hoped she was alright.. I should check on her later. I entered the cafeteria, still holding her hand as I went over to the kitchen to see if the usuals still hung out there. This time, it was only Firey Jr and Roboty. They were speaking to each other, clearly laughing and not thinking of it as much. Roboty almost immediately noticed me, looking over and giving me what I could only make out as a glare. "..Hey, leaf bitch's here." He growled, as he began to walk over with his hands in his pockets. "What the fuck do you want." He spat, looking at the two of us. Liy wasn't having any of this, muttering under her breath before facing him right in the eyes. "We want breakfast. Just get us a snack or whatever." She spoke.

"Awwe, can the wittle lweaf and owobvious serial kwiller not get their fwood themselves? Oh what a shameeeee..." Firey Jr mocked, the both of them snickering at the joke as the young child went to grab two apples and toss them over to Roboty before he handed them to us. Liy wasn't amused, and I was disappointed. Not mad, disappointed. "Right.." Liy rolled her eyes as she dragged me away from the duo, holding her apple in hand as I began to eat mine. "I fucking hate those two." Liy muttered as she walked, listening to me eat my apple as we walked outside of the cafeteria. We went to go sit down by her room's door, as according to Gelatin, food wasn't allowed.. The thought of him reminding us all terrified me.. There were so many mysteries.. Just.. I wonder... Speaking of mysteries, I've always been curious about Liy's talent. How did she forget..? What even is it? Jr's mocking might just be true.. What if she's actually the Ultimate Serial Killer..? But than.. Why didn't she kill us all already? Is she trying to gain our trust? Did she get sick of killing? I had no idea... But, the thought still wandered in my head.

We both kept on eating the apples, talking and messing around.. It's gonna be rough being the three of us now, but I'm sure we'll get over it. Somehow..
