A moan of relief escapes your lips... You *literally* don't remember last time you had an actual hot shower. Add to it finally getting rid of the stains from your body... tension leaving your muscles... And you're overcome with elation, one even the red pigmentation of the water cannot wash away. Hm, There are many beds in here, you could, maybe...
No... You can't. You need to hurry... To leave warmth behind. It stings.
Channeling all willpower you wash yourself quickly. Purpose keeping regret at bay, at least for now.
Leaveing the shower, you head for the bedroom wearing a small towel. You need a replacement for your old unform. The undies? NO. Trying to harm Se-young further is out of the question as well - the Suit it is, then...
But before that, you grab a white napkin from the wall, and a quill from the cabinet beneath the TV and scribble a note. In it you write quickly what happened, and what you are going to do. You leave the tough questions for when you see her again; there is too much to say. Then, resisting smiling, you put it next to gently snoring Se-young... It's the second time she truly surprised you during 'this life'.
"I've got this Se, and you too."
With pleasantries done. You don the suit... The first thing you notice, is that it's really big. Really BIG. Larger than you thought. The man it belonged to must have been at Least two meters tall. You roll up the sleeves, legs, and pin the last button, then look at the mirror...
It's so weird. It's been so long. An actual traditionally masculine outfit. It feels foreign on you, bordering on wrong, given your hair extensions and how ridiculously it dwarfs you... It's also uncomfortable, and coarse and rough on your soft skin. You don't want to get used to it. Although the materials seem quite durable, maybe could be salvaged?
Letting go of the mirror, you grab the guns you liberated from Se-young - for your, and her safety - and step out of the warm heaven, into the icy hallways. Then lock hisses with finality.
Steeling yourself, you retrace the previous path. Hushed din of machinery is only occasionally joined by your grunts of discomfort as the suit bites into your skin
Finally, you step into the lab from before, and your gut churns. Intending to quickly leave, you are interrupted when a furtive squeak grabs your attention.
A rat, or rather something rat-like, but slightly bigger, and with edged spikes protruding from it's back.
...Could have been worse. It... Drinks from the dried puddle you left. Disgusting. You aim your pistol and...
A click. Safety's on. Se-young's precautions are going to kill you.
Once again you try, the bang makes the creature jump in fright - you missed.
Next one violently knocks it back, brain matter joins your puddle... As you make sure it's dead, you see something that uplifts you - your hand made spear.
Grabbing it, you clamber as fast as you can towards the exit. Hopefully that's the last of things for today...
