getting myself into this mess and not taking the chance to care for it properly.”

better has already crossed her mind. Her stubborn nature and unease around men in coats was to blame.

For her own sake to avoid being back at square one, Raika simply had to behave and take it one day at a time.

“An entire week for the infection to fully clear? Ugh… I guess that’s what I get for

“At times like this, I’m starting to wish I was like other SOLDIERs more than anything. Guess I can’t always be lucky.”

Raika turned back around with careful movements before she faced Gideon once more. A whole week sounded awful. The lingering thought to leave when confident enough she’s feeling

“If you don’t mind me asking, is this… normal? You know- uh… fighting those things that attacked me.”

“I’m as ready as I’ll ever be to face those things.”

A flicker of determination is present in her bright hues, ready to take on whatever danger came their way. She doesn’t expect a gun to be handed to her— No, she’d still use a sword until acquiring a random weapon of her own accord.

be around for. If they’re both patients, it’s only a matter of time before she’s found out for having a prolonged stay, and it terrified her.

so I don’t really get to see the patients. But, um.. do you mind me asking why you’re here? Are you a patient too? Or a frequent visitor?”

Hell, he might’ve been a volunteer for all she knew! Raika tried to avoid assumptions though, simply hoping to know Raymond better and find out how long he’d

“That’s definitely true. I mean.. my doctor is the only guy I’ve spoken to. He’s nice. Though rather intimidating.”

Raika felt sick from the sheer idea of talking about Gideon in such a manner, but she’s learned quite quickly that eyes and ears were often everywhere.

“I stay in here all the time,

In the worst case, she also wanted to avoid sounding crazy. Everyone else here seems nice and normal. Who’d believe her anyway?

“I hope until the day I’m able to recover and leave that I’ll have nice little visits like this. Besides the doctor, you’re the only one I’ve had the chance to greet.”

unfortunate fate were to be kept quiet. Left she wanted to endure more hell or endanger others.

The easygoing woman trusted easily with those who are kind to her. It’s a weakness easily exploited. She didn’t know Raymond well enough to mention how things were truly going - not wanting him worried.

“You think so?”

It’s been a while since Raika saw her own reflection in the mirror. All the tests, including the one’s irrelevant to her injury, felt quite taxing on her body.

Things were already different to what she’d expected and it all came down to one awful doctor. Such worries and her

“After leaving them, I picked up jobs with my friends from time to time as a mercenary of sorts. My experience as a former SOLDIER comes in handy when fighting.”

“I used to be. I’ve spent my time learning and using all sorts of weapons since I was a teenager.”

Raika wouldn’t glorify her previous career in the slightest. She’d faced all kinds of horrors from the day her work begun up until the present— even well after she’s left that company behind.

that may be seen as a surprise. Outside of previously conducted enhancements, there’s nothing really different or surprising?”

nature is her downfall— but he’s a doctor and unfamiliar with the practices back home. Everything she’d spoken of wasn’t even considered classified.

Regular civilians understood a SOLDIER is an enhanced person. They simply didn’t understand each and every detail.

“I can’t think of anything else

Raika’s head moved to face the wall in front of her, staring quietly as Gideon continued the conversation. It assisted in keeping her mind off what he’s doing. Her tolerance to pain is high enough— but an infection is still very much going to hurt the longer it’s cleaned for.

Maybe her trusting

For the first time ever, Raika felt completely lost and hollow with no purpose to drive her onwards.

It’s extremely late, but chances of retuning to sleep were close to zero.

What’s the red haired woman to do beyond dwell over the past? Everyone who’d once steered her along the right path is gone.

Very little could dull the anguish she’s experiencing - and she has no goal in mind moving forward.

“W..Where—“

The woman could barely get her voice to work in between laboured breaths being taken— sounding so small and frightened.

Realisation only began to set in after the haze of sleep dissipated.

Right… She isn’t there anymore. That’s all in the 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒕.

———————
Raika’s body jolted upright as she’d stirred from the vivid memory. Her eyes darted around in a panic, her mind still caught in the troubling past.

She didn’t even recall falling asleep.

Her entire form is covered in a thin layer of sweat, making red strands of hair cling to her face.

Nightmares of that hellish night often replayed in her mind.

It all played out clear as day.

Those actions were a fruitless endeavour. Raika had been naïve to Shinra’s intentions from the get-go.

For years, she’s been nothing but a tool— a 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒏. Her enhancements made her strong. A true fighter.

Though what good is it to fight when all is lost? When everything has been taken from her?

It’s an inexcusable burden she shouldered.

Her job was to protect the people and save lives. It’s why Raika signed up to work for Shinra in the first place! She’d even gone as far as to enlist as a SOLDIER and endure becoming an 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕!

The catastrophic event which destroyed the entirety of Sector 7 still haunted Raika to this day.

Reports estimated that death toll itself exceeded 50,000 lives.

If only she’d been there sooner… Perhaps something could’ve been done to stop the massacre from even occurring in the first place.

After a few moments, she’s at the door and opening up!

“Hey~! It’s good to see you!”

//I know! Most of my angst is pre-existing shenanigans or ideas. Like Raika’s main storyline having her pierced through the lung by Sephiroth and now in recovery. Or making her suffer various viruses. 😅

/My whimsy gets too chaotic. But it is what it is. ✨

Gotta make my muses go through absolute hell for fun like a sadist!

/Brain is in a silly mindset so today I crave pain and suffering for my muses to alleviate the thoughts plaguing me.

I know I crave my muses suffering daily. But even more today. 😇
