(Y/n) was in her office early the next morning, her regular uniform now on her.
The jacket with the oversized sleeves fit comfortably on her, her new respirator hissed as she felt it's cool air in her mask. She was thankful that Kazari had made this new lighter version that worked just as well as the last one.
Her patient looked at her with a look of bewilderment, he was a new addition to her patient list and had to be evaluated before his release.
He was shaking, probably from her mask.
"So... it seems you have made great progress with your growth from when we first received you.," the female said and put the files she held down, "So, do you think that you have shed the skin of your old ways?"
The inmate jumped when she asked him this and nodded frantically, he was still shaking.
"I give approval for your probationary period.," (y/n) said and signed the papers before standing, "I hope to never see you in my office again.,"

She held her hand out to the inmate who stood and took it, "T-Thank you!"
"Now go and do good in the world.," the female said while shaking his hand before releasing it, "You are no longer a prisoner of Nanba, but a citizen of society."
The man bowed deeply with some tears falling from his eyes, he stood and left with the guard who took the papers she signed.
The female was happy that another inmate was released back into the world, she had high hopes that he would do good.
He female sat back down in her chair and took another breath of clean air from her respirator, it felt good to be able to breathe clearly again. Kazari made the respirator and mask easier to talk to patients in."
She heard a knock on her door before it opened, an inmate peeked in.
Another head peeked in. The two males were Fuji-san and Kusatsu, the senpais of building thirteen and bath adoring males.
"Hi Yukino!," Fuji-san greeted, "Thanks for those candies you got us on valentine's day!"
"They were great, it tasted great after a bath!," Kusatsu added in.
"So I guess you two are in for your appointment now?," the female said and got a nod from the two, "Come in and sit down."

The two came in and sat down on the couch, (y/n) got up from her desk and sat on the chair in front of the couch.
"We were surprised to find out you were a woman.," Fuji-san said with a laugh, "But I guess that's why you never accepted the bath invitation we gave you."
Kusatsu laughed as well, "It would be kind of awkward since it's a male only bath."
"The gesture was nice though.," (y/n) said and took up a pen, "So have there been any recent Bath incedents?"
"Those guys from cell 13 came in and disrespected the rules before we set them straight.," Fuji-san answered.
Kusatsu nodded, "It was funny to tease the one with the shackles though."
Both of the males chuckled.
The female sighed, "So how has your reactions to rules broken?"
"Not good.," Kusatsu answered, "I'll admit we snapped but we did not do as bad as we used to."
"So progress.," the cold bodied female said and wrote down some notes on the males, "But you two have done great so far. I'm proud of you two."

The two males looked really happy.
"So, is it true?!," the green haired Kusatsu asked.
"Is what true?," the female inquired.
The white to blue gradient haired Fuji-san leaned in closer, "Is your Ice ability true? We have been hearing rumors about it ever since the tournament."
"Are you two thirsty?," she asked and went to the mini-fridge she kept in the corner of her office.
the males were confused but nodded, she took some drinks from the fridge.
The drinks were not that cold as the fridge just had been restocked.
(Y/n) handed the two sodas to the males, "Observe."
With her hands still on the drinks, the bottles became cold.
Fuji-san and Kusatsu looked at the bottles and opened them, "wow! It's cold!"
Both of them took a drink from the sodas, "so good!"
She smiled at their enthusiasm, "Is there anything else that you need to talk about?"
"Not really.," Fuji-san said and turned to Kusatsu, "What about you?"
"Nope. Nothing.," Kusatsu replied and both turned to (y/n), "How about you?"
"I do not have anything to share.," the young woman said, "But it is always nice to talk to you."

The two raised their drinks, "Thanks for the drinks by the way!"
"Don't make it sound like I gave you alcohol!," the female scolded and folded her arms, "I'm already on thin Ice with the uppers from being so friendly with you inmates, they think some of you may sway my decisions."
The two lowered the bottles and looked at each other before looking back to her.
"You would not let us though.," Fuji-san said, "You're pretty stubborn."
"And you are kind of scary.," Kusatsu added.
"I'm scary?," the female asked.
"Your mask.," both of the men answered, "You look like something out of a horror movie."
"Oh.," (y/n) said, "Makes sense."
"It's kind of like the deal with building 6's supervisor.," Kusatsu said and shrugged, "Damian looks scary but is very nice once you get to know him."
"You have an extra layer though with how cold you are.," Fuji-san spoke, "Literally."
"Is that so?," the young woman said and raised her hand to her mask.
The two males nodded and took another drink of the sodas they had, "I guess we can go since we don't have any more to talk about?"
The green haired man got a nod in return from the female, "Have a good day you two, I'll call the next one in early."
The two men left with the guard escort, both very happy with themselves and drinking their drinks.

"Speaking of Dami-san, I did not see him on valentine's day.," the female said and went back to her desk, "I wonder if he's doing okay. I don't think I saw Orochi-san either."
She tapped her pen on the smooth desk surface and stared at the doll she always carried with her now, the smiling familiar face stared blankly back.
She picked up the communicator that she was given and sent a message for her next patient to come in. She stared at the doll of her deceased friend as she waited for her next patient, "I must cherish my friends and patients like you cherished me."
The doll never spoke back but she wished it did, then remembered that if it did she would have to quit her job.
The female laid her head onto her desk and stared at the doll more, "I must look so sorry right now huh, Shiro?"
The cute doll fell over when she poked it, she shot up from her laying position and sat the doll back up.
'A sad, lonely woman who talks to dolls and criminals.,' (y/n) thought to herself, "I wonder when I'm supposed to meet my new patients?"
She looked up when the door opened and waved the next inmate in, "Please sit."

After hours of dealing with her patients, she stretched when the final one left.
She was finally free for the day.
The young woman wondered what she should do. Travel to the women's prison to meet the warden there and get briefed on the inmates he wanted her to take on as patients, go have a bath, get something to eat with cell 13 again or go train her abilities more?
"What to do, what to do?," the female said aloud.
"Don't ask me, it's up to you.," Jyugo's voice scared her and she fell out of her chair.
(Y/n) got up quickly, "Jyugo!"
"There's no sense in yelling at me.," the male said, "Besides, I want to talk to you."
"Does it have to do with your cellmates?," the female asked and took off her mask.
"No.," Jyugo replied, "I wanted to just talk to you. See what we can talk about."
The young woman took off the jacket and stretched, "Fine."
Jyugo settled into the couch and (y/n) sat beside him, "I'll take the hit if Hajime comes."
"No, no. I will.," the Japanese male replied, "I am the one who escaped. I kind of deserve it."

The young woman pulled looked at the door when the said supervisor walked in, "15. You little shit."
"Hajime, I called him here.," (y/n) interrupted the supervisor  He wanted to talk, I put him down last minute."
The bald supervisor and the cold woman locked eyes and stared, he finally scoffed.
"You're too lenient with them.," Hajime said and walked out, "Return him to his cell afterwards."
She sighed and patted her lap, "Come on. I know you want to."
Jyugo laid his head onto her lap, "So what now?"
"You say whatever it is you wanted to. I will listen.," the female replied.
"Oh... okay.," the male said and thought a bit, "So what is your thought on Elf being inside of me?"
"I don't care. He's using you to watch both of us.," the female spoke and patted the head of the teenage boy softly, "What I do care about, is you. Enki and Noriko believed in you, so do I."
"That makes me feel a little better.," the Japanese teenager said, "So you don't care that you are petting both me and Elf right now?"
"Jyugo. Just shut up and enjoy this.," the female said, "it's just this once, okay?"
"You said that to Nico those times you let him do this.," Jyugo said with a small smile, "I think you actually like this."
He felt a flick on his head after saying that.

"Shut up Jyugo.," the cold female said, "Whether it be Elf, the man with the scar, or even some other monster that could be in you... I don't care because you are you. Not them."
She petted his head and sighed.
"Hey. Want to hear something funny?," Jyugo asked.
"What's that?," (y/n) inquired.
"We used to be afraid of you. You were so cold and mysterious that it scared all of us.," the Japanese male chuckled, "Your mask did not help either."
The female looked down at the teenager looking up at her, he looked happy.
"But we got to know you, you were kind and called us by the names we have instead of the numbers we have.," Jyugo said, "So. Thank you."
The young woman smiled down to the young man laying his head in her lap, "I'm not supposed to be treating you inmates like his. But it gets results so I will deal with the consequences once they come."
The heterochromatic eyed teen looked up to the smiling female and returned the smile, "We both will."

"So, Fuji-san told me about that time he and Kusatsu teased you.," the female said and got a look of irritation.
She chuckled and petted his hair again.
"Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?," (y/n) asked.
"Yeah... if you don't mind...," Jyugo said, "Could you tell me about Shiro?"
The cold bodied female looked a little surprised and took a look at the doll on her desk, she turned back to the male.
"That's a story for a different time.," she said with a finger over her pink lips, "Like for the rest of us to be together to hear, cell 8, cell 6, Musashi and your cell mates."
Jyugo nodded, "I guess you want to have a larger audience of friends."
"Not just friends.," (y/n) said and placed her hands on his cheeks, "Family. You, the others, the guards, the other experiments, all of you are my family and I love you."
She pulled Jyugo's head up and hugged it, "We're not alone, Jyugo. We have everyone else to help us with this. We have a family."
She felt Jyugo's hand on her arm, "Yeah, we do."

-

"Family, huh?," Elf chuckled, "What absolute crap."
"I think it's cute.," a being with Elf chuckled.
"It's pointless. They should just give in.," another voice added.

"We'll just have to wait and see what Yuki and Jyugo will do.," the Elf said with a sadistic grin, "It's almost time to act. To retrieve a lost asset or two."
