It had only been a few hours since they dragged her back to the plexiglass cell.
The overhead lights hadn't changed. The white walls hadn't changed. Even the smell hadn't changed.
In fact, if it were for the hum of the vents overhead, Sera might have become… off.
The atmosphere was completely different from Adam's labs. White instead of black. Large openness instead of small cage. But in the openness, Sera was beginning to feel… uneasy.
She wanted to take out her blankets, take out Oogie Boogie, each a chocolate bar. But she didn't dare. Instead, she stared at Luci like every breath that he took was one more thing keeping her tied to this world.
She breathed out a sigh when she saw that Luci was stirring now. His paws were twitching in dreams he couldn't wake from, his ears flicking toward every sound like instinct alone was trying to keep him alive.
He still wasn't all the way back yet, but Sera refused to think about any other options.
