1. >You... are Shimmer Light...
2. >You can't... move.
3. >Were you unconscious?
4. >Something is very different from before.
5. >Your temperature. You aren't nearly as cold as you were before.
6. >... Though, you're still too cold for your liking.
7. >You slowly open your eyes.
8. >The ceiling is white.
9. >That solved nothing, it's time to actually get up.
10. >You move your forelegs in front of you.
11. >On their way, they move a white blanket.
12. >Okay, you're in a room with a white ceiling, you're most likely on a bed and you have a blanket on you. Someone has been taking care of you ever since you lost consciousness.
13. >That, by itself, is a bad sign.
14. >... The only moth around you was Hex-
15. >"You're awake!"
16. >You wince at the ear-splitting squeak.
17. >That was definitely Hexferry.
18. >Great.
19. >Your forelegs rest against your chest as Hexferry comes into view.
20. >You do your best not to look directly at her or acknowledge her existence.
21. >... Unfortunately, you can feel your head turning to fully face her.
22. >Stupid weariness ruining your perfect way of life.
23. >Hexferry appears to be... a mess, as always.
24. >Her mane is unkempt, her eyes have bags under them and she just looks very tired.
25. >... Though, she still looks happy.
26. >How can anyone be happy while looking so hideous?
27. >"I was so scared; they said you could've gone into a coma!"
28. >You have many things you wish to critique her for, but you decide to let them pass for now.
29. >She cares about you. You don't know why but she does.
30. >Fantastic.
31. >... Wait, a coma?
32. >It's time to get up.
33. >... Who is "they"?
34. >You press your forelegs against the bed and slowly hoist yourself into a sitting position, despite Hexferry telling you to stop.
35. >At this angle, you now have a better view of the room.
36. >... You're in a hospital.
37. >All of the medical equipment, the hygienic atmosphere, the layout of the room...
38. >You are definitely in a hospital.
39. >Medical bills are expensive.
40. >You're done here.
43. >You jump off the bed with ease, floating down with grace.
44. >You need to leave here as soon as possible.
45. >That moment is now.
46. >You turn to the door and-
47. >Hexferry blocks your path.
48. >You're really getting sick of her existence.
49. >Her expression is one of worry.
50. >... It reminds you of the look she has after you fell.
51. >"What are you doing?! You just woke up!"
52. >Obviously.
53. >"You're in no shape to just walk out of here!"
54. >Oh, now that is the biggest assumption you've heard all day.
55. >... Is it the same day?
56. >That doesn't matter right now.
57. >There is an obstacle in your way.
58. >You stare directly into her eyes.
59. >... She doesn't yield.
60. >...
61. "Move."
62. >...
63. >She doesn't even flinch.
64. >Your anger is back, that's good to know.
65. >You step toward her.
66. >Her breathing is audible.
67. >Another step.
68. >She's lightly shaking.
69. >There is almost no distance from your face to hers.
70. >Certainly, she doesn't believe she can oppose you and win.
71. >Why does she not concede?
72. >Fool.
73. >The door opens, startling Hexferry.
74. >A moth you assume is a doctor walks in.
75. >"Ah, you're awake. You came back much sooner than we expected."
76. >Of course, not even the cold can defeat you.
77. >You slip past Hexferry while she's still recovering.
78. >Not even the doctor is in your way. You easily exit the room.
79. >Ah, this hallway.
80. >You've been to this hospital for mandatory checkups.
81. >The exit is down the hall to your left.
82. >"Are you just going to stand there and let her leave?"
83. >Hexferry still has problems with this.
84. >"... Yeah. She's obviously well enough to walk around. She was only unconscious due to shock, she doesn't have anything actually wrong with her."
85. >Of course you don't.
86. >You're perfect.
87. >You turn to your left and continue on your path.
88. >"Wait, Shimmer!"
89. >... Your eyes go wide.
90. >She just said your name.
91. >The only commoners who know your name are those who have to know your name, like doctors and dentists.
92. >No one outside of need is allowed to know your name.
93. >Your blood burns like fire.
95. >She stumbles to your side.
96. >Her body is more fatigued than yours, and you just woke up one minute ago.
97. >You have to restrain yourself from punching her in the face.
98. >That... was one of the most outwardly violent thoughts you've ever had.
99. >How crude... but effective.
100. >"At least let me come with you, just in case something happens again."
101. >You're in no mood to deal with her. Being near her when she isn't being a direct annoyance to you is bad enough, but this...
102. >This is going to be horrid... unless you do something about it.
103. >Your mind is racing.
104. >She probably thinks the two of you are "close" or some stupid, asinine filth.
105. >You need to get rid of her.
106. >... You turn to stare at her.
107. >Eyes to eyes.
108. >Malice to concern.
109. >You exude hate.
110. >...
111. "Go..."
112. >...
113. "Away!"
114. >The sudden spike in volume forces Hexferry to back down.
115. >This, luckily, trips her up, causing her to fall behind you.
116. >You turn to face the entrance to the lobby.
117. >The door opens without effort.
118. >... You exit the building without hassle.
119. >Your house is far away. If Hexferry continues her pursuit, she'll easily catch up to you before you get back.
120. >... If you did it correctly, she'll hate you. Permanently, this time.
121. >You'll know if you succeeded before you reach your house.
122. >If she catches up to you, she probably still has "hope" for you; if she doesn't...
123. >You win.
124. >She'll either become a spiteful wretch, or she'll become scared of you.
125. >You don't care which happens as long as you win.
126. >...
127. >The streets were bare.
128. >No moths were seen the entire way.
129. >Including Hexferry.
130. >Your house is only a few meters away.
131. >...
132. >A form lands next to your front door.
133. >It's her.
134. >Of course it's her.
135. >She doesn't look mad or scared.
136. >Instead, she appears to be solemn.
137. >... She isn't in your way, but she's placed herself in your line of sight.
138. >Just so you know she isn't done with you.
139. >You finally get to your door.
140. >She says nothing.
141. >You raise your hoof to the door knob.
142. >...
143. >Open, enter, close.
