- The next morning -
"Number 0!" A guard came into the room and called her.
"Mm?" Waking up sleepily, Nera looks at the guard with her eyes half-open.
The one who woke her up this time was a tall, muscular man. His red eyes looked at Nera without expression, but Nera could have sworn she saw a glint of pity in his eyes…
"Hurry up!" he said, "Doctor Aisten is wanting to see you."
Nera's face went white with fear. If there was anyone she was afraid of, it was Aisten. Shaking a little from trepidation, she started to get ready very quickly. The guard understood her terror, since the scientist who did the worst and riskiest experiments was most definitely Aisten.
Nera could not suppress the fear she was feeling as she followed the guard out the bedroom door. The more they walked, the more afraid she was.
"Hurry up, if you don't want me to drag you!" The guard shouted when he saw that Nera slowed her steps.
Nera bit her bottom lip and started walking faster.
