you sat down next to her; equally as exhausted as the other members' who went on the mission as well. leaning your head back and sighing, feeling your eyes grow tired but unable to close. you hate that. vanessa--already feeling drunk off her ass--began babbling about random things. such as her day, yesterday, what she hates, what makes her go crazy, captain yami, etc. the topic kept changing every time she thought of something new or got reminded of another thing.

you couldn't help but listen. but at the same time, you weren't. your ears could hear voices yet couldn't understand them at the same time. you were spacing out...again. eyes wide and pupils dilated as your focus was on the ceiling, considering your head had been laying back. you hadn't even noticed vanessa was calling out to you.
