Chapter 1: Morning Sober
The sunlight shining trough the sliding glass windows come in the light blue room, fall on a girl's body which is lying on the single size pale bed with light brown wooden frame. Her whole body is covered by a purple synthetic fiber blanket except her shoulders upwards and her right arm which is pinned by an IV line and connected to an 1000 ml IV bag that hanging on the one and a half meters metal alloyed IV pole that standing right beside the bed.
That somewhat 14 ~ 15 years age pale young girl with mid length brown tea colored hair, wearing a pale green pajama with her eyes closed. At a glance, it looks like she has a serious illness that needs an IV bag to support her. But, this light blue room is just an ordinary bedroom no matter how we looks at it.
A cheerful woman's humming voice can be heard from here. "Hmm... hmm... hmm..., now now, before I leave...". That voice is followed by clanking and tap water sounds. One might guess, that sounds came from downstairs.
The brown-haired girl opened her eyes slowly. Gazing at a round white neon lamp that hanging on the white ceiling."What was happened? ... Am I out cold again?" she muttered inside her heart. A slightest image appear in her head just like a flash. A long pony-tailed woman's figure stabbed another short-haired, one winged woman's figure with a long sword from its front. "Ah, I remembered it", That girl put a gloom looks on her face. It seems like she don't want to remember that event. For her, she want that unpleasant memory to just disappear.
She take a look around her, and observe this room carefully. From a mini light-brown wooden table next to her bed, the same bed on the other side. Then came to two similar light brown wooden desks line up with each other. It seems like this is a bedroom for two persons.
"Where am I?", Now, the girl muttered with her soft and tender voice. She tried to sit on, but it feels like her body doesn't have any strength to do so. She still tried to sit while leaning her body to the right. After a little while, she able to sit on her bed.
Again, she look around her. Suddenly, she felt dizziness. She touch her forehead with her left hand, and slowly massage it, just to make it feel better.
A sound of door being opened can be heard. That is this room's door. A white wooden door has been opened. From behind it, appear a young woman figure, mid-length brown tea colored hair, brown eyes, wearing white long sleeved shirt and black trousers. At a glance, she looks like a female office worker but with a little messy hair.
The young woman standing at the opened door while holding a metal basin filled with warm water and a small rosy colored handkerchief hanging on its side. Until a while ago, now that basin was dropped. The water from basin flow on the brown wooden floor. It spilled on her lower trousers and her feet. But, she seems didn't mind it at all. Rather, she is just froze up with her eyes wide open. Her face just like someone who just saw a ghost.
"Mom?" The girl looked at the woman with puzzled face. "Where am I? And what are you doing here?". At a glance, one might think the woman is the girl's older sister. Because she has appearance of a twenties. But from what the girl address her, it appear that she is her mother. "What's wrong? your face is funny." The girl twitched her left eyebrow.
Her mother put a small heavy step before she rush forward and fell down because the spilled water was slipped her right foot. She fell really hard, but it just like she didn't feel any pain, she immediately stand up again and hug the girl tightly.
"Wai..., Mom! Don't hug me that tight... let ... me go... shees..., what are you being possessed of?... " the girl trying to struggle, but because her body is still weak, she barely able to push back her mother that almost made her felt pain in shoulders and chest .
"Thank God, finally you're awake, Mikoto-chan!" That woman's voice is trembling, her voice is like she about to scream, but she can't. Its like her breath become shorter, her chest is shrinking, her throat dried. And unstoppable tears flow out from her eyes, wetting her cheek and Mikoto's pajama. Unbearable happiness suddenly wash out years sadness.
"What are... you... talking about?... I'm... fine...," Mikoto is still trying to struggle. "Its not like my first time to be out cold. It is not that bad at all", She stop to struggle, maybe she knowing that it futile to resist while she don't have any strength. Even though her right hand still holding to her mother's left arm.
Her mother released her hug and look at her annoyed face. "Mikoto-chan, maybe you don't know but... its nearly three years you fell on coma" As her mother said with worried face while holding her hands.
"Eh? Noway", As Mikoto is shocked. "But, is that impact from before really that hard?" Mikoto's head become heavy. Suddenly, its filled with many thought. "But, then what about that experiment?... How far is it going?..." She cannot hold it anymore, she squeeze her head with both of her hands. "What to do? What I have to do?..."
Seeing her daughter suddenly looks like suffering from something, Mikoto's mother feel more worried. "Mikoto-chan, whats wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" as she about to caress her beloved daughter.
"I have to go" Suddenly Mikoto's face become straight serious. Suddenly her weakened determination strengthened out of nowhere. "I'm sorry, Mom..." she smiled to her mother, A smile of apology one. "Can I go to Academy City now?... well, there is so much to take care of. You know, to take care of administration things regarding my absence from Tokiwadai and else..."
"Mikoto-chan, you're just recovered a moment ago. It still not permitted for you to go outside. And what is this Academy City and Tokiwadai?"
"What~? Tokiwadai Middle School at Academy City..., don't tell me you even forgot where your daughter school is?" Mikoto twitched her eyebrow and folded her arms, it seems like she is annoyed because her mother is trying to make fun of her.
Mikoto's mother frown "Mikoto-chan, you're never wake up for these past two years. The last school you were attend to is an elementary school in this town. Further more, there is neither Academy City district or a school named Tokiwadai around here".
"Wha... Mom, stop joking, that ain't funny" Mikoto is annoyed even more. Now, her eyes become sharpen.
"No, I'm not joking, My dear" Mikoto's mother is trying to speak gently, and would seems a little bit odd because it doesn't match her appearance that looks like an office worker who've been pursued with deadline.
Mikoto looks at her mother's face carefully, and it seems she wasn't lying. But, what does that mean? Mikoto frown, she feel confused. "That, that Academy City. Academy City, Mom. You were there at previous Daihasei, Right? Look, it is a city where there are many espers around. Just like watching movie, Remember?"
"... Mikoto-chan, are you still feeling unwell? Need I call a doctor just to make sure anything fine?" Her mother take a closer look at her eyes.
"No, No NO! Its not like that! I'm not lying! Wasn't it you that sent me to that school?" Mikoto's tone suddenly rising. "No, don't look at me like that! I'm not lying! I'm one of those espers remember? My power can generate electricity. Oh yes, look!" Mikoto raised her right hand, like she was about to pull something from her right hand. But, nothing happened. "Wha..., how can this be?" Shock, confusion, anxiety, fright, denial, restlessness, unease and other unmentioned fright feelings is mixing together. Its like she being pulled in the hole of uncertainty.
Worried by her daughter state, she try to pat her "Mikoto-..."
Suddenly, Mikoto reject her mother's hand "No, don't touch me!" she jump off the bed, and about to run. But she fell down. The IV pole trampled on her as she fell down. Her legs cannot be moved at all. She can see her legs is just fine, but she just cannot sense it, let alone moving it.
"Ah, Mikoto-chan!" her mother is about to help her.
"Stop it!" Mikoto shout. "Stop it, please stop!" Again she squeeze her head with her arms. "STOOOP!" As like she had a nightmare, her world suddenly swallowed by the darkness.
