38. White
The walls were overly white and hard on the eyes, but Kagome usually kept hers closed. She'd been in the institute for 3 years, so she'd adjusted.
At night, when she wasn't dreaming (which she usually was), she heard the other inmates making noise in their room (screaming, crying, begging, sometimes laughter).
Kagome was unlike the others – unlike Inuyasha with his uncontrollable temper, Kagura with her abusive father, Sango with her self-inflicted-scarring guilt…
There was just a pretty world in her head, with monsters and heroes and happy endings, that she wanted oh-so-badly to be real…
…so far-far-away from white…
