The moon did nothing to ease her mind.
She took a deep breath, then glanced over at her bedroom door. Slowly, she crept towards it and opened it into a shadowy hallway. Making her way to the kitchen, she took a can of Omnilium and downed it, nestling herself on the living room's couch. It was an energy drink, but she didn't care; there was no way she would be going back to sleep after that fiasco.
But why had she reacted like that? It was just a dream. Just a dream. But maybe it wasn't just that? Those shadows... she definitely didn't dream them. How could she imagine the wispy tendrils wrapping around her while awake? No matter how weird her dreams were, none of them felt... real. Even when truly lucid, there was a faint distant feeling that kept her aware of the fact that it wasn't real. There was none of that last night. And there was no control-- she had been swept along a road she couldn't waver from, led on by something she couldn't comprehend.
Truth be told, it terrified her.
With a sigh, she glanced over at the door to Hiro's workplace. She stared at it, waiting for him to walk through and comfort her. But she knew that would never happen-- not right now, anyway. He was still away at... Dante's something. Dante's Abyss. Yeah. She had to wonder how he was doing; she hadn't heard a peep from him ever since he left. No calls. No texts. Not even a post card. She had been expecting something along the lines of "Dante's Abyss isn't as bad as it sounds. Wish you were here." But no, nothing.
In the end, though, Hiro was still a Prime. If he was dead, he'd just return to life (presumably) like all the other Primes.
Regardless, she didn't want to be alone. Funny, she thought she'd never want company. Pulling out her MDD, she sent a message to Madeline. Not like she was expecting her to reply, since it was 2 in the morning, but the illusion of company was all she needed.
"hey, u awake?"
A few minutes passed, and to her surprised, she had responded. Except it wasn't her.
"She is awake. Unfortunately, she isn't in any position to talk."
...Oh boy. This better be just a sick joke.
"...Who are you and what did you do with her?"
"My name is unimportant. Don't worry, she is alive." Alongside the text was a picture of Madeline with her hands tied behind her back and blindfolded. Her head rested between her knees, apparently sobbing or asleep.
Madotsuki responded with a set of words best left untranscribed, threatening to shove her knife so far up the person's nether reigons that they'd give birth to silverware. The kidnapper appeared unfazed.
"You can save her, Madotsuki. I just need you to do something for me."
