Daddy!

Wherever I was, I was high in the air. I was sat next to a massive window, and I could see the rain lashing against it. Far below, deep in the murky darkness that only a rainy night could bring, I could see lights. An unimaginable number, stretching out as far as the eye could see. I could make out buildings down below - though they looked nothing like any buildings I'd seen - and streets with strange, boxy shapes moving through them. I could see even more lights coming from these shapes, and in the darkness, I realised that I was surrounded by other strange structures that rose almost as high as I currently was. I wondered if I was about to be swallowed up when I saw some of the structures rising even higher than whatever I was currently inside. It was so hard to explain that I found myself speechless.

I could hear my heartbeat rising, because all of a sudden my mind caught up with the fact that I had apparently been kidnapped and was now in a dark room with strange, impossible-to-explain sights outside between the pouring rain and the darkness of night. I tried to breathe and found that I was struggling, only this time, no one was around to save me. "Ah, yes. I do apologize - I hadn't considered your...mental state." My head snapped toward the voice, though I could barely see. I could vaguely see a slender hand with long, thin fingers push a glass forward, then place two small pills delicately next to it. I'd only been given pills once, before I'd met Marisa. Doctor Yagokoro had prescribed them for a particularly bad cough that I couldn't seem to shake, and she hadn't been anything like she had after I'd met Marisa then. She hadn't seemed interested in me at all, and had all but rushed me out once she had decided on the treatment. I looked up at the darkness swimming before my eyes, distrustful and more than a little scared. "Take them." The voice told me, still politely but with a hint of commanding. "They'll calm you down." I didn't want to, but I was alone and somewhere I didn't understand, so I had little choice at all but to do what I was told. I took the pills and threw them into my mouth, then followed with the water before I could start to question what I was doing again. After a minute or so, I could feel my heart beginning to slow and the pounding in my ears began to lessen. I gratefully took in a deep breath, then tried to look across the table again.

Now, I could see all the way across. Her hair was blonde and even in the darkness I could tell that it would shine like the sun in the daylight. I got the sense that her hair would be incredibly long, but it was trussed back into a messy knot at the back of her head, apart from two long bangs that hung down just in front of her ears and ran down to just past her collarbone. She wore a pair of ear accessories, which looked like small pendants with a bow-like shape on them. Her clothing was eccentric, with a white shirt like the kind I had seen the tengu wear, underneath a deep, purple blazer like the kind that I had seen a girl who called herself a Social Awareness Reportage Writer wearing. I couldn't see below her waist thanks to the table, but I wondered if she was wearing shorts like that girl had been wearing. I looked up into her eyes, which were the colour of wisteria but with some integral sort of warmth missing from them. Already, I could tell that she was not human. No human could pull off something like this. "Better?" She asked, leaning forward and tilting her head. I managed to nod.
