<div style="text-align: justify;">Missie spent nearly the entire day in the bedroom. She spoke very little, ate even less, and only left a few times, including once to change the bandages. She felt strange, not only physically, but also mentally. Her body felt weakened, and the girl found it hard and unattractive to move. Walking too fast made her dizzy, and resting seemed like the only thing her body asked her to do. On the other hand, she felt a mental need to see Marcel again. Her mind was in a conflict with itself, as Missie felt fear and desire provoked by the same idea.<br/><br/>When the sun set, despite still feeling weakened, Missie decided to leave the room. She took a long bath, and picked out a black dress from her suitcase. The piece was simpler than the previous dress, but also neat and well taken care of. She combed her hair back and tied it on a braid, and wore on her neck an old necklace with a small crucifix that had belonged to her mother. It was probably somewhat superstitious, but Missie couldn't help but feel that she needed it to be safe. <br/><br/>Leaving the room after getting ready - and ignoring anything the other girl might say - she started walking around. Her rational mind told her that she just wanted to explore. Her innermost being, though, knew it was looking for someone.</div>
