Friendships to Ease the Pain

by LizzieTheRose

When Maka overdoses on sleeping pills, she's sent to Death City's mental hospital where she meets seven others, dealing with their own issues. Despair and anger are prevalent here, but friendship might heal the eight. Or can it? AU. Rated M for Self-Harm, Suicide Attempts, Profanity, and more. Trigger Warning. [ON HIATUS]

3. New Opponents

Black Star: Even in the Worst Places, I'll Surpass God!

It's always the same thing here. Wake up, eat, try to get over whatever problems you have, eat, continue getting over it, eat, sleep.

Man, I don't even get why I'm here? I have no problems. I've been here for years though ever since my last foster parents couldn't take my superior presence.

They said I was crazy for wanting to surpass God. They said I was too hyperactive.

Even the crazy screwhead doctor says I'm crazy and I have ADHD.

Well, they're the crazy ones. I'm just fine. I'm just me.

You wanna keep me here? Fine, I'll just practice my fighting on these pathetic opponents!

Oh, but then, you'll send me to "isolation".

It's no biggie. Just gives me a chance to train! Meditation, practicing my moves. Yep, that's how I spend my time here!

You only can keep me here for four more years! Go right ahead and keep me here! I'll just have more time to train before I go out to surpass God! I thank you for giving me this time to train!

Though again, I see no problem with me.

Hmm? The nurses are gossiping again… Seven new people coming? In ONE day! That's rare! But hey, I get seven new opponents now! This is great! Just great! YAH-HOO!
