"Oh yes, Dr. Somnus should be here with you shortly Miss Lilliana." The nurse said as she closed the lantern containing Lilliana's fire and placed it on the counter. A few minutes passed by until the door opened. A blue skinned elf walked in, wearing the face mask and lab coat like evert other doctor in the Asylum.
"Why hello Lilliana," Dr. Somnus said, his deep voice keeping a relaxing tone, the kind of voice you could fall asleep to. "nice to see you drop by again. I'm not used to seeing you here so often. It has been 50 years after all. Nurse, have you handled the basics?"
"Yes."
"Good, good, let me see that fire of yours." Dr. Somnus picked up the lamp and looked at the green fire, "Your fire has lost its green luster compared to how it was decades back. Though that is to be expected. You might not realize it, but you don't put in as much effort into making our fire as you used to. Plus you're getting older and a fairy's magic does wear off they closer they get to their senior years."
Somnus placed the lantern down and moved to Lilliana. "Can you please stand up? I need to do a check up on your wings and so I need to unbind them."

Hours flew by as the inmates worked at their jobs. It is now around 4:00 PM and those who have been working hard have become weary.
"ATTENTION. ATTENTION. IT IS FOUR'O CLOCK. SHIFTS ARE COMING TO A CLOSE. ALL GUARDS MUST LOOK OVER THEIR INMATE'S WORK AND MAKE THEIR APPROVAL. ONCE AGAIN, IT IS FOUR'O-CLOCK. ALL SHIFTS ARE COMING TO A CLOSE."

All the guards looked over the inmates in the Sewers, making sure all trash bags were empty of body parts and anything of the like. The nurse that escorted Ayaka and Shard from before came down and asked that the inmates line up against the wall.
"Empty, empty, empty..." She chanted as she looked through the trash cans. The guards stood by the inmates to make sure none of them went out of line.
"Alright, your job is done. Guards, you may escort back to the upper levels." The nurse said. "I'll see you again tomorrow morning."

"Phew! I don't know how much more of that I could have stomached!" Shard exhaled. He kept finding weirder and weirder things as he went, to the point where he just couldn't figure out where it could have come from. He dusted his hands of the soot that accumulated from being near the fire. "So I guess we're just headed back to our cells now? I'd usually be hungry but after that I don't think I could hold it in for long."

Lilli stood and turned her back to the doctor so he could undo her bindings. After they were removed she unfurled them and stretched out to get some of the kinks out of her back from having her wings bound. "How do they look, Doctor?"
"You head back to your cell if you want to Shard, but I'm going to take a shower to try and get some of this stink off of me." With that she walked towards the elevator to go up to her floor and try to shower.

Dr. Somnus ran his hands over Lilliana's wings. "They seem to be a little more stiff, though that's because you're not allowed to use them as long as you're here. Eventually they'll become weak and unusable the longer you stay here."
He looked at the wings a little more, before asking the Nurse to put them back into their bindings. "The only thing I have found is that your abilities are slowly weakening, which is what we're trying to make sure. You're a patient worth keeping around, after all, Lilliana. We wouldn't want you going berserk on us." Somnus wrote a few notes down onto Lilliana's paperwork.
"You are excused now. Nurse, please escort Lilliana back to the elevators."
"Yes sir," the Nurse gestured to the door, "Please come with me."

"Okay, I will see you next month doctor"and with that she allowed herself to be escorted to the elevator doors, where Ryu was waiting for her. "I'm starving lets go get dinner."

The Impess led Meela to the Operating Room, the Gremlin still clutching the blood-soaked rag to her shoulder.
"Wait here, cousin. I'll get a nurse for you."

"Is something wrong?" A nurse approached Meela a few minutes later. She kneeled down and analyzed the wound. "This stab is rather deep, but not fatal. It will require minimun effort to treat. Please follow me."
The nurse led Meela to one of the rooms that were normally used for Check Ups. "Dr. Somnus, we have another patient for you." The nurse announced as she opened the door. The elf looked up from the paperworks of his previous patient and stared at Meela.
"What happened this time?" He asked, walking toward Meela.
"A stab wound sir."
"I see, please place her on top of the examining table and I'll stitch up the wound."

Meela looked up at the doctor, smiling sadly as she was plopped onto the stainless steel table.
"Thank ya kindly for stitchin' me up, Doc. If I'da known I was gonna get stabbed by an icicle, I'da dodged outta the way in time and wouldn'ta had to come down here and trouble ya." She gently peeled the rag and napkins away, revealing the gaping wound.

Carefully he picked Meela up so he could bring her to the sink and wash the wound in her shoulder with warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Afterward he set her back onto the exam table and dried her arm.
"You're a Gremlin, aren't you? Creatures like you are one of the most common types we get in this place. Because of that you're easy to push around." Somnus said, his voice smooth and calming, as he prepared the needle.
"Now sit still." Somnus said as he held the shoulder and pushed the needle through her skin. "Thankfully, your cut doesn't seem to be infected and it isn't too deep, meaning that I don't have to staple it or anything."

Gremlins are common around here? Then how come I haven't seen any others? She didn't even flinch as the needle entered her skin, calmly watching Dr. Somnus work.
"Don't worry, Doc. I'm a military brat, I know better than to interfere with a Medical Man's work. And I'll try not to let myself get pushed around. Yer a nice man n' all, but I don't wanna have to see ya that often."

Dr. Somnus stopped sewing the stitches for a bit to look at Meela. "A military gremlin, huh? Maybe that's why you're not dead yet. May I ask what block you're from?"

"I'm on Block B, Doc. Actually, it was my roomie who tried to make a popsicle outta me! Still not sure what I did to piss her off, but I'll bring her around." She shrugged with one shoulder, doing her best to keep the other still.

"I see, that actually explains a lot. See, most gremlins are put in Block A and are gone within a day or two. Like I said, your kind is pretty common around here and therefore they're seen as 'disposable.'" The next couple minutes were spent in silence as Dr. Somnus continued to make the stitches.
"There," he said as he made the final stitch. Cutting off the excess thread, he looked over the now sealed stab wound. He walked toward a cabinet and took out a roll of gauze, which he proceeded to wrap around the stitched wound. "Now don't take off this gauze since its purpose is to prevent your injury from being exposed. Give it a couple of weeks for it to become sealed and by then I can remove the stitches. You'll just have a scar, but I bet a military brat like you can handle it."
Dr. Somnus turned to the nurse, "Nurse, can you please escort Meela to the elevators and then go to the archives and get her folder for me?"
"Yes doctor, this way Miss Meela."
