Maura Norbury

Present

Sayaka was standing on a chair, reaching for a higher level of files; the surroundings were familiar once more, but this time we know exactly where we are.

It was in this office that she was first escorted and met Mr. Rhys.

She was attempting to retrieve the top file, which was enclosed in a smalt coloured cover. She touched the file, pressed a little harder on her tip toes, and the chair flipped over.

A strange fragrance filled the air, a sensation Sayaka recognized instantly. A bag slided on the dusty floor, leaving a clean trail behind before landing exactly under Sayaka's head.

Probably saved her from having her skull split open.

Sayaka sits up, massaging her head, and realizes she is not alone.

She immediately gets to her feet, ready to confront the person, only to be met with a rather calming view.

It was a woman's silhouette, with a curvy figure and knee-length hair.

Another gush of fragrance fills the air as the woman takes a step forward towards the 14-year-old, revealing a stunning image that appeared unrealistic. She was dressed in an iridescent frock that reached her knees, her long hair was in two braids on the side, her face was glowing in the light, and her hands were covered by a robotic glove that left the finger tips exposed.

Tears overflow up in their eyes as they meet.

Sayaka takes a slow, gentle step forward, demonstrating trust in the person in front of her, while the woman runs into Sayaka's embrace, tears streaming down their cheeks, while Sayaka maintains an emotionless expression.

"M-Maura?"

Back to the past

As Sayaki regains consciousness, the first thing she notices is the same distributor attempting to open the lock by searching for a key in the bundle of keys while making jingling sounds.

"Grr..... Ah this it is"

Evident that he found the appropriate key.

As the lock clicked open and the man entered, forcing the little Sayaka to get away from the ground.

She was in his arms on the way to another hidden tunnel. Which on entry was rather to be said disgusting, walls were covered in dried blood stains the air was pungent easily capable of making a normal person nauseas.

The room has quite a few advanced machines which were not understood by little sayaka.

"Food, I'm hungry"

The 4-year-old mumbled using all  of her she collected.

The distributor placed her in one of the strange chairs in the area, as directed by a man dressed as a doctor, wearing an oxygen respirator mask over his face and holding a sterile injection I'm his right.

He approached little sayaka and the injection spread its therapeutic effects.

After some time

Sayaka found herself back in the same cell as before, but only to find a girl few years older than her, about 8-9 year old with dark short hair sitting at the corner of the same cell. She seemingly looked malnutrished and her bone outlines were clearly visible.

The girl on feeling sayakas gaze,

"I'm Maura Norbury"

"I'm Sayaka"

"Nice to meet you Sayaka"
