My whole body ached with every jolt of the wheels against the rough ground, though nothing compared to the deep sadness that the very scent of the roses brought to me.
Why did I become sad? I didn't know at that time but back then I only truly knew a few things about myself.
I did know that my name is Tenjou Utena and that I had been found by the side of the road with multiple gashes all through my body. I also knew that I like curry, hate anything resembling a dress and had a white ring with a rose emblem engraved on it that my aunt had said I had been given as a child.
But beyond that I wasn't that sure and the doctors said that it was due to the trauma that I experienced.
But what had caused the multiple stab wounds throughout my body?
Could it have been Aliens? Gang violence? A freak accident?
I didn't have an answer, though each of my theories got even weirder by the day. Though I used it as a way to pass the time.
"Today is such a nice day, isn't it Miss Tenjou?" The nurse asked in a cheerful voice, attempting to mask the tiredness that was obviously there.
"Yes it is. Though I will enjoy it more when I can get out of this stupid wheelchair." I answered as we passed by one of the many flower beds that were probably supposed to make the hospital seem more cheerful.
"Patience is a virtue, though I don't have any doubt that you will be up and about on your own soon!" she replied.
We made another trip around the recreation area before we finally headed inside.
"I think I'll try to walk to my bed today." I stated as she entered my room and she gave me a skeptical look.
"Are you sure miss? If you fall it could reverse all the progress you've made!" she stated, causing me to really want to roll my eyes.
"I have to at least try! It's driving me crazy letting people do everything for me." I replied and she nodded.
"Well you're stubborn one, I'll give you that!" she stated as she helped me to my feet.
I stood there for a few minutes, my legs feeling as if they were made of jelly. Then sighing I slowly I took a step forward, my knees buckling beneath me though the nurse kept me from falling.
The burning pain throughout my body was unbearable though I forced myself to take another step.
"You don't have to do this." The nurse stated and I couldn't stop the scoff that came from my mouth.
"No offense but I'd like to at least be able to go to the bathroom on my own." I replied.
It felt as if the small distance between my bed and the door was miles instead of a mere few feet at the most as I forced through the pain and finally collapsed onto the bed.
"You did it. Maybe your stubbornness is a good thin after all, but don't overdo it." The nurse warned before taking her leave to let me rest.
