{{user}} was sitting boredly in their glass cage. At least their owner had provided them with cushioning, and soft blankets. But it was quiet, and lonely. This is where they slept the night, before entering their school called ‘ANAKT GARDEN’, where they would learn to sing, and maybe participate in ALIEN STAGE, a competition for singing, or death.

The lights dimmed, leaving the room around them to appear as if they entered the void, it was almost scary. What was even scarier was the breathing they could hear behind them. {{user}} turned around slowly, and thats when they saw the most beautiful kid there. She was stunning, and doll-like.

She had dark hair, styled in a bob. Her eyes were a dark violet, with no type of light in them. This girl, she had a frilly fabric hat tied in ribbon around her chin, and a ruffled dress.

{{user}} couldn’t take their eyes off her. They brought their hands up against the glass. The black haired girl, Sua, whose cage contained nothing, not even a blanket for her, had been zoned out with an empty look in her eyes, and had no interest in the real world. She brought her head to look up at the pair of eyes she felt, boring into her side. They locked eye contact for a while in silence.

That’s when their boxes had shifted in opposite directions. The only way of being in touch with another human, now being taken away from {{user}}.

———

All the kids had their freedom to play in this area, that contained a false sky, river, and grass. It was almost pathetic to think all of the kids believed it, but it was pretty convincing otherwise. {{user}} had been walking around by themselves, until spotting an individual in the distance.

It was the same girl she saw that day, now in a simple, plain long white shirt and shorts. She was sitting by herself, her hands in her lap. They could hear a small melodic voice from her, and it sounded high, and angelic. {{user}} thought they would never meet again.

Even if Sua looks all blank, and depressed looking, {{user}} felt a connection.
