"So.. this is the nurse's office?" I ask Raven who stands next to me."Hm?" Raven looks at me in confusion."What?" I asked."Estelle, have you never visited the nurse's office before?" Raven says to me as she tilts her head."O-oh.. uh, I did! I did. I just.. I don't really go to the nurse's office, I never had a reason to, until now." I say nervously as I try to come up on an excuse.'Jeez, I can't say anything freely without being questioned.' I think to myself as I watch her think over and mumble in response."... That's.. true.""Hm?" I look at her, curious by her unreadable expression."Well, let's go in. Ms. Lilith is our only school nurse here, so sometimes she's here or in the school chapel." Raven says softly as she looks back at me."School chapel.. right, we did saw that near the gym." I mutter."She's a very hardworking person, both a nurse and a nun." Raven says in response."Eh? Wow.. now she feels like an actual healer, no.. a priestess. " I mutter to myself as I try to imagine a nun with enlightenment glow all around her."Eh?" Raven raises her eyebrow slightly as I look back to her, realizing I muttered something random again."Nothing, let's go in." I replied with a smile."Okay. " Raven says with a smile as she slides the door open.Both of us walk in and look around the small clinic filled with a few cabinets, three white bed unoccupied and med kit box on the table."Looks like she's not here." Raven says as she walks in and I wait at the door."Maybe she's eating lunch?" I say as I try to think of an assumption based on the time and possible reason."I've had my fill." A raspy and seductive voice spiked me up from behind me as a woman next to my ear whispers.A woman wearing a nun outfit but smiling at me with a teasing remark. "My, how cute. No one's ever reacted like that to me before." She chuckles softly.'A fox-like nun lady has appeared!' I blush heavily as I put my hand on my ear and watch her walk in with a gentle smile."Is there anything I can help you with?" The lady asks as she goes on to lean against the table and cross her legs slightly, revealing the stockings underneath."Ah, well .. she's got a nosebleed after falling down the ground heavily in the cafeteria." Raven explains as I walk in and stand in front of the nurse."Oh? Feisty little one, aren't you?" Lilith says with a smirk as she says it in a seductive manner, or perhaps that's just how I hear it.'Please step on me-- damn it, I'm letting degenerate brain take over.' I curse to myself internally as I try to calm myself down."Well, why don't you sit by the bed over here, I'll check in on you, but first we need to fill your name and class here." Lilith says as she goes on to open the book with a list of other students who checked in the nurse's office at the table that's just next to the med kit box."Ah, right." I reply as I sit on the bed."Name? " Lilith asks softly as she holds the pen and prepares to write down."Uh.. Estelle Zeller.""Class? ""Class.. 3-A.""Do you have any guardians we can contact you with?""My parents are both in abroad." I replied without thinking.'Eh?' Which made me freeze for a moment."I see. Not even any relatives?" Lilith continues to ask as she and Raven look at me."None that live close by, no."'How do I know this?' I ask myself as I just answered twice without thinking fully.'This wasn't even ever mentioned in the game, especially for a side character.. so.. how am I.. seeing a glimpse of memories in a flash right now?'"Estelle.. Estelle? Hey!" Raven calls out to me as I am looking down the floor with an anxious expression on my face.I try to relax before I end up breathing heavily to the revelation."Sorry, I just.. I spaced out.." I reply as I try to control my facial expression right now."You don't look so well, dear. Why don't you stay on the bed for now?" Lilith tells me as she already has a stethoscope wrap around her as she guides me to bed to sit properly and get cozy.As I follow by what she told me to do, I couldn't help but notice how worried Raven appeared as she looked at me.Lilith places the stethoscope on my chest to check on my heartbeat.'I only got a nosebleed but.. why does it feel serious in this room all of a sudden?' I think to myself to how it led to this situation.Raven has her arms crossed as she's leaning on the wall while Lilith keeps on checking for anything unusual in me.Despite the memories suddenly flooding in my head, I was mostly focused on trying to breathe as normally as I can."Is there anything painful in your body right now?" Lilith asks softly after putting away the two earpieces that was plugged in her ears."..." I think over it as I reply back. "Nothing's really painful.. but my head feels.. painful right now.""Well, this could just be because of stress, so I advise that you lay down here for now and rest." Lilith states as she gets up and goes on back to her table to grab a medicine pill from one of the counters that has a few containers in."Okay.." I mumbled."Here, medicine." Lilith says after getting a bottle of water from the boxes that are opened on the side. "Free water bottle too. It's supposed to be for the cafeteria, but a few students are dehydrated whenever they are here in the clinic.""Huh.. I see. That's convenient.. thank you, Ms. Lilith." I say as I take the water bottle and medicine.Upon drinking it, Raven stops leaning and goes on to look down at me with an unreadable expression."Just follow Ms. Lilith's advise and get take a nap too if needed." Raven tells me."Heh.. I'll try to nap if I can." I say in response.Though I'm not sleepy, my body is still unknown to me. There's a lot of things that were unfamiliar and I didn't wanna risk anything so I lay down and try to relax."KRIIINGG!" The bell rings, signaling for the next class for the day."Lunch break is over.." Raven mutters as she looks to the time on the clock attached to the wall then to me."You can go on ahead first if you are okay, Raven. I get you're worried for your friend here but, you can't skip classes, okay?" Lilith says to Raven who seemed hesitant to leave."...Yeah." Raven looks at me worriedly."I'll be fine. I'll catch up to you when I'm all better." I tell her as I give a reassuring smile."... Alright, don't push yourself. Take as much rest as you can." Raven says to me and heads for the door.She looks back to me once again as I smile at her."Go, I'll be fine." I say to her before she could turn away and leave, closing the door behind her and walking off.The footsteps slowly getting less heard from where I am.I look at the school nurse who appears to be busy writing down more things on the book where she wrote my name and class."I'll head on out after a few moments, so you can nap in peace." Lilith says as she looks at me."Okay.." I reply and look back at the ceiling and slowly close my eyes.Time skipped by in a blink of an eye as I slowly open my eyes again.I check on the time as I'm laying down the bed.'The last period is still in session.' I say to myself as I see the time being 3:45PM.I close my eyes gently, only to see glimpses of images of Estelle's memories again.Flashes such as holding both of her parent's hands as a kid, or seeing her parents go to the airport as Estelle waits for them, then lastly working part time job as a waitress.'From the looks of it, Estelle's memories are fusing to me.. am I gonna completely lose myself? I couldn't even recall my own name no matter how hard I try to.'I open my eyes to look at the plain ceiling as I felt anxious.'This is giving me a headache again.. how can anyone even deal with something like this?' I think to my situation, memories being added in a flash, and my transgression in the first place.It was indeed a fictional phenomenon that I can't wrap my head around, but it is my reality now."Well.. I have nothing back at home anyway. Just my PC and my work." I mumbled to myself, feeling a depressing moment sinking in.'No friends that I stayed in contact with either, not even a family to talk to since I'm not in touch with any of them.. they have probably even forgotten about me. Man, now that I'm looking into it. My life in general just sucks. I have nobody who would miss me now that I'm gone.' I scoff at the idea and turn on the other side.I stayed on the bed, laying down as I look if anyone else is here, but it was empty.Though I hear the faint sound of students outside, with the wind blowing a gentle breeze inside the clinic, I was relaxing and breathing fine.'Even though this is a world of a visual novel. It feels real. Everything isn't any different from reality. Except for myself. A guy in a female body.' I sigh.Upon getting up slowly and carefully, I sit up and stretch my arms.'It's unnatural to even be here so, as much fun as it is to be in a game. I need to find a way back to my world.' I look up the ceiling as I try to think over.'Will I even be able to return?' I ask myself before looking at the time again.It was 3:50PM.I get up carefully and head for the mirror I see nearby to look at my appearance.It was still the same blonde haired girl with pink flowery eyes."I'm sorry, Estelle. It must be frustrating to have someone else occupy your body, huh?" I say to myself as if communicating deep down to the Estelle that's reflecting on the mirror.'It's only been a day, but.. I can't afford to waste anything. In this world, everything revolves around Raven, therefore.. she's my only lead to getting back. Perhaps if I truly give her the ending she deserves to have, I'll break free from this.' I think to myself before making my way out the nurse's office.As I look at the seemingly empty hallway, I make my way to the classroom I'm designated in."KRIIIINNGGG!" The class has ended.I continue to head to my destination, and once I got to see a few students walk out and chatter around, I take a peek to find Raven grabbing her bag and my bag before heading to the door.I step back for a bit as I prepare myself to face and when she got out, I tap her shoulder gently."Estelle! I was gonna head to you.. are you feeling better now?" Raven asks."Yeah, all good." I said in response."Okay, let's walk home together." Raven says with a smile as she and I stand next to each other side by side.This could just be because I've never finished college and missed a lot of the school days that could have been worth remembering to but, somehow as I walk next to Raven.Everything feels right.It didn't feel as bad as the reality I'm in.So I smile as I look down the ground as I walk next to her.'It's not so lonely anymore like before.'TO BE CONTINUED
