The clock on the wall of the room clicked many times as seconds passed in an awful silence, the tension in the air thick as bricks of cement. One of your companion was sitting in a corner of the room with his hands on the visor of his helmet, while the others were waiting all with an hidden expression under the censoring helmet. Grace was laying on the hospital bed with restraints keeping her down knowing what could happen, and she kept her head tilted at the side to look at you.

Your eyes meet as you can see in her gaze the pleads of a wounded animal that asks the hunter to let it go, she had that gaze for the last 3 months, even when she would get amnesticizied she would see in you the only one that has some mercy for her. How could she remembers you?

D-3145: "It's getting hotter in here."

Said one of your companions while looking towards the window where from the other side where operating the scientists. He was right, the air was getting hotter in the room you looked at the thermometer as it was 32 Celsius in the room, it seems that the conditioner was broken.

???: "The conditioner seems to have a problem, you have to bear some heat until we don't have green light from the upper floors."

One of the scientists said through a speaker, all the voices of all the personnel are corrupted by the voice changers so that it becomes a choir of robotic tones. After some time you remembered a nightmare you had last night, you were in a forest surrounded by shadows and one of those shadows was greater and tremendous, with many horns and many eyes, a crown on his head and a chain into his knuckle as she kept Grace leashed, she was crying and she had a crown on her head too and like her devilish consort she had a chain in her hands and it's attached to a leash around your neck, what could that mean? However you felt mostly...sad.

???: "subject D-3650 your heart rate has increased, you have to calm down."

The scientist speaker to you as reminding your nightmare made your heart beat faster and yet something calmed you down, Your fingers get intertwined by some soft ones, you look down on your hand and you see that Grace was holding it softly, she was trying to comfort you even if you did so many atrocious things to her, yet she was always soft with everyone, but you were the one which she was gentler with.

Grace: "Are you ok? I can feel that you're... anxious."

Her tone was soft and tender, almost like you were her husband that's just standing beside her during birth, yet you feared that child's birth, it could mean the end of the world, however you didn't want to see her suffer anymore. Why they're taking so long to give the Green light this time?
