Spring is the very own season of life appearing in the world. Every creature urges to come out from its lair to bask themselves in sun. Such pursuit for a blessing, calls for the change, makes for a scenery where one can only be eager to join within the dance. Of course in case of humans it's a little different, specially the ones that are like birds at the time they need to leave their nests for the first time. In that case you really ought to know how to fly before jumping off, if only life of humans was that simple. But perhaps it's because of how they are bound to the world, they also feel the need to fulfil their savage animalistic needs. The Sealing Club members were in such need, and because a opportunity appeared, they decided to take advantage of the season. Even though it was Renko who were the organizer of the idea, Marry was somehow against it. It took her quite some time to convince her friend who looked a little bit down lately. She couldn't really explain why or what caused it but a ounce of fresh air should help her regain her vitality, she thought. Of course for Marry it didn't honestly matter where or what were they doing, she simply did not see a problem as longest they were both doing the same thing. Her life was to be settled by mollified and relaxing thoughts that would keep mind at peace. This was related to her stabilizing condition of late. Of course Renko knew nothing, or rather didn't want to know about her treatment in the dream world or outside it. Moreover she felt partially guilty because she was the person who could do for her the most, whatever Marry's problem was.
What was supposed to be the Sealing Club's operation was an agricultural trip towards a rural village. They were to learn about various methods of dealing with farm animals and treating crops. But the reason for that was a little strange since it was their colleges that required extra classes. Students were free to choose from the list, and no one really knew how the list is complied or why some really strange subjects could have been found there. Both for Renko and Marry the subject of husbandry was not familiar or even close to the majors they were studding towards. It didn't matter which classes students had to finish, only the case of actually passing them. It was a little strange that both of the girls' faculties were offering it as a option. Perhaps to make students more familiar with the field work, or rather work at the fields themselves. Additionally it was a chance for everyone bond closer to their colleagues, since as adults there was no one responsible for their supervision. And thus the Sealing Club came into being once again, a place of adventure for both girls. Renko was the one driving, while Marry was looking lifelessly outside the window. The scenery of stretching landscape, yellow green and blue colours were used inside the picture of her mind. Fields of soon to become food plants, the occasional bush and grass waved along the wobbling gentle wind. And far ahead trees which were yet to bloom leaves, with which something was wrong. Like a bouquet or a sphere in several places on them, randomly spread, with something green at the end of each one. Why and what was that, Marry pondered. For her what was important was that this point was the only with life, the only one interesting. On other hand, it could have been seen as a parasite of some sorts, attached to the tree only to benefit from its capability to absorb water from a large source around its roots. The girl cogitative process was to eliminate that incontinence and only focus on the fact that the green point was the only aspect that really mattered in the end. Her life isn't like that, she kept reassuring her, as her throat sighed a little. Renko turned her head for a moment but only saw Marry in her own world. She had to pay attention since soon they were to leave the highway and turn for the country road. It was a little worrying that her friend didn't spoke a word since they started the journey. Failing to start a conversation, she given up on trying to do anything unusual like touching her or shouting. Perhaps it was the boring ride that was keeping her form conducting any verbal functions, she thought. Hoping that it will turn out for the better as they arrive and relaying on her GPS, both of the girls entered a country side road where the speed, that was reduced, somehow fitted within the space around them.
Soon, they entered a forest in the middle of the trees surrounding them. Marry opened the window to smell a little of the fresh air, as there were no other cars seen or heard. Actually, the car Renko was driving was pretty silent as well. It was a electronic auto-mobile that she rented for the occasion. Unfortunately, it was also to be working until the time of lease would end. In other words, they didn't have too many days they could slug around, and perhaps do something together, but it didn't really matter for her. As longest everything would be fulfilled and the school would be satisfied, it would be the minimum successful for her. The complete one was that Marry would feel better, and this trip's plan was also to ease her spirit. The currently looking outside a window girl was clearly thinking about something absorbing. Renko felt a sudden burst of air almost flipping her hat off, as she had to use her hand to catch it. But then Marry's hat flew off her head and hit the girl behind the wheel. The driver signalized at her partner, trying at least to get her attention due the recent change, but all she did was to keep gazing into the distance still silent. Renko picked up the strange hat her friend used to wear and placed it back on its place. But for some reason the other girl didn't really react or pushed it closed to her own head, for the sake of it not falling off again. Was that become of, something I didn't know and don't want to know, the driver pondered. Activities they used to do when they were young, and the fact Marry was lonely in her life. I must be the only person that she could call a friend, Renko thought. Perhaps it was indeed the nostalgic feeling of old days with carefree existence she was absorbed by now. But the more adult girl knew that someday you have to face that fact and grow from it. She hoped that one day her friend Marry would stand to that point, and therefore stayed in silence until she would realise that fact. Her mind remained unspoken, just like her partner's.
Suddenly, Marry beckoned her friend. She wanted to make a stop, for something her partner was unaware about. Renko asked if she was perhaps in need of a waste disposal service, but Marry denied with her head. After the halt was performed, she jumped outside the car and into the woods, at a surprisingly quick speed as well. While the driver girl was still inside, looking at her, she slowed down her step and lowered head as she was sneaking. What is she trying to detect exactly, should I intervene with her, Renko thought. In her current state she had to give up on paranormal activities, but it was still placed somewhere in her memory. And now it was perhaps one of the situations where Marry saw something she couldn't sight. With that prompted in her head, she took out from the car and followed her friend. To her surprise she was not far away and sitting silently while watching something. Renko took her best effort not to make a sound as well and took closer to see what she was looking at. It wasn't a ghost or anything, just an animal. A single adult wild deer hidden inside the woods, was this what Marry really saw, the girl couldn't get her mind around that fact. It was simply unaware of the humans and looking around for food, most probably. Considering her it might be something completely different, but due the situation Renko decided not to speak and awaited stationary for Marry to make a move. It was a little later that the girl gifted with unremarkable eyes decided simply to leave the deer behind and return to the car. Along with her, not saying anything, came her friend. It was simply too awkward or strange for any of them to speak. Therefore they soon came to the car and resumed their trip. Her sight must be amazing to spot a deer inside a dense forest like this, Renko thought as she was driving.
In the matter of simply minutes they both safely arrived at the hotel, if you can call a transformed barn that way. It was a simple yet fitting place to stay for the groups that were to learn the trade and life at a farm. Renko parked the car and they both took out their bags, as they meet other students already bonded and conversing outside. However they needed to take the keys for the room first, since they were sharing one. It was Marry who reached the reception and grabbed them without saying a word to her partner. Perhaps she was tired, her friend thought, even though she couldn't see her fast moving face. And so, they settled in with people looking at them strange, as if they were looking at a currently not doing well couple. Renko was thinking, since they did spend that much time together, their childhood all until now. Was Marry still thinking of me as a friend, or perhaps something else, the girl didn't really want to deliberate this throughout. She didn't knew about her partner's whereabouts and changes in her behaviour towards her. They were also older, so it would be natural to start to think about long-term problems like that. With that in her mind, Renko wanted to confront her friend, but was soon pacificated. Because her friend decided to take a shower, and hence she couldn't talk to her. Instead she decided to unpack and perhaps ask about it at a later date, but there was a knock on the door. Quickly after she opened the door, she got dragged into a college mob. And even though Marry was invited as well, she decided that this night she will stay inside her room alone. The excuse was that she needed to write something related to her study. Although, in reality she took out her dream dairy to read something from it. It was a material only she could read for a certain reason. Even if Renko wanted, she would never be able to study its newest content, no matter the amount of drinks she was having now. Soon the party was over, and students returned to their rooms. Tired from the social activities and a little drunk, the other member of the Sealing Club returned to check on her friend before going to bed. However, as Marry was already sleeping, so she decided to join her in the dream world.
"XXXX Report, dayX, patient "A" condition still without improvement. Treatment appears be insufficient. Further research is needed."
