Day 16: Red

-I will hang his head over my bed. Only then I can asleep without having a nightmare.


Y/N: Well, time to check where we are going.

I opened my files and saw something I was fearing the most, I was moved to the new department.

Y/N's mind: Crap, how am I gonna announce that to Hod?

Alter Ego: Hey Y/N!

I turned my head and saw her walking to me with a bright smile on her face.

Alter Ego: We're gonna be in the same department once more!

Y/N: No way, really?!

I checked her files and saw that she was also moved to the new department along with me.

Y/N: You should go now, I need to warn Hod about my departure from the Training team.

Alter Ego: Be careful.

She left the room and I did the same. I arrived at the Training department and saw Hod minding her own business. I walked to her and she smiled at me when she realized that it was me.

Hod: Hey Y/N, how's your day?

Y/N: Good so far but I have to tell you something.

Hod: What is it?

Y/N: ...I'm leaving the Training team.

Hod: ...

Her smile vanished and I saw one of her eyes twitching for a moment before going back to normal.

Hod: That's a nice joke Y/N, you almost got me-

Y/N: No I'm serious, I'm leaving for the security team.

Hod: Come on now, don't scare me-

Y/N: Hod! This isn't a joke, do you understand?

I saw her eyes getting a little teary and she grabbed the sleeve of my outfit.

Hod: I-I-It's not real... right? Please don't tell me you're leaving me.

Y/N: I can't do anything about that Hod, the manager decided to do so.

Hod: N-No, don't leave me.

Tears were flowing down her eyes and her grasp on me became stronger. I pulled my sleeve out of her hand and successfully managed to do that.

Y/N: I'm sorry Hod but I'm not the one in control in this situation.

Hod: Y-Y/N...

I felt guilt weighing my mind, making it harder for me to turn my back to her but I still did it. I walked out of the room and I faintly heard her sobbings behind me.


...

...

Y/N: So, where's the Sephirah?

I asked that to Alter Ego who waited for me in the Security department, a large area mostly painted green.

Alter Ego: You don't need to see him, he's a slacker and didn't even bother giving us a little speech.

Y/N: Really? That's kinda lazy coming from someone who's our superior.

Alter Ego: True but what can we do about it?

Y/N: Not much really.

*Beep*

Y/N: Our work orders

We walked to the screen and both went our separate ways. She had to go work with the little bird and meanwhile, I had to take care of a new abnormality in this department. I walked to the door and looked at it.

Y/N: They should install some windows so that we can see the abnormalities inside.

I opened the door and prepared my notepad. I looked at the abnormality and saw it staring back at me.

Y/N: ...What the fuck am I looking at?

???: Hey, watch it.

Y/N: Wait, you can talk?

The abnormality rolled it's only eye before looking at me once more.

Y/N: Anyway, I'm just here to do a basic check so don't mind me.

I wrote down my observations and noticed the gears the abnormality was carrying: hatchets, daggers and guns.

Y/N: Oh my god, what's that stuff?

???: ...

Y/N: It looks so cool, you must be trained a lot.

???: I am, I trained myself for a long time.

Y/N: Wow, tell me more about it.

I leaned against the wall near me and looked at the abnormality, which had a female voice so I assumed that it was a girl.

???: You see, it started a long time ago...

In the end, she explained her situation of how she got badly injured by a wolf and how she is seeking vengeance against the animal that wounded her. In the meantime, I heard that unknown entities were roaming inside the facility but I ignored it, trying to focus on her story.

Y/N: So, why are you here?

???: I'm trying to find that bastard andrip his head off his body.

Y/N: ...We don't have a wolf here unfortunately but I could warn you if we ever get one.

???: I'll take any help if it allows me to end that asshole's life.

Y/N: So... I'm quite interested about the training that you did so could you teach me?

???: It doesn't work that way, I can't accept your request.

Y/N: Aww, at least I tried. I mean, with enough training, I could probably become a threat to all abnormalities and even get that wolf's attention in order to help you kill it.

???: This is a matter between the 2 of us, it doesn't concern you.

Y/N: ...I understand, I'm Y/N by the way, it's really rare to see an abnormality capable of speaking.

???: ...I'm little red.

Y/N: I can see that with your outfit but it's nice to meet you.

I wrote down her name and gave her a quick nod along with a smile before hearing the intercom next to me.

Intercom: 16 PE boxes successfully produced.

Y/N: Time for me to go, hope to be able to talk to you more later.

I walked out of the containment unit and looked at my written observations before going back to the main room. I sat near a table and checked the documents I had to deal with and then heard the door behind me opening.

Alter Ego: Hey Y/N, how was your work?

Y/N: Quite good, the new abnormality looks scary but she's capable of communication.

Alter Ego: It's a girl?

Y/N: Yea, little red riding hood... except way different than her version in the fairy tales.

Alter Ego: Is that so...

Intercom: Warning! Scorched girl has escaped!

Y/N: ...Okay, we might have a problem.

I left my seat and took out my gun before checking the map of the facility.

Y/N: Let's see, Scorched girl got moved to the Training team.

I then heard and explosion in the distance. I sighed before lowering my weapon and then looked at Alter Ego.

Y/N: I think they just dealt with her.

Alter Ego: ...I don't think they did, she probably blew up by herself.

Y/N: That means she's not escaping anymore.

Alter Ego: True...

Intercom: PE quota successfully reached, end of the current shift.

Y/N: Phew, glad to know today is over.

Alter Ego: We didn't do much, how can you be glad that it's over like you've been working for 3 days without any rest?

Y/N: ...You got a point there.

We both walked away to the dorms.
