"You could have just asked me if you wanted to get into my head," Maria said to Oni, pouting a bit when she found herself in her head and he was with her due to the fact he was the cause of it. She honestly wasn't mad or felt invaded by his presence her, but more on the side of miffed when he didn't ask her her permission to be in his head. She would have been more than willing to let him right in! But she couldn't hold it against him. It was his job after all.<br/><br/>The inside of her head, or to be specific 'the front door', was very, very little. When she realized how little she seemed to contain, she giggled and didn't react negatively at all. Like it was not a surprise to her. Well, looks like someone before had been telling the truth to her! She heard Oni talk and she listened, carefully taking in his words. Think of a door? Golly, that'll be quite hard for her. How do doors work in the first place.<br/><br/>She tried to think of a simple metal one but failed, unable to conjure up a proper image of it for Oni. Tried as she might, she couldn't think up of a metal, plastic, futuristic or any door like that. She was about to throw in the towel and let Oni do it the hard way when she suddenly remembered something.<br/><br/>It was her last day as 'normal' person - before she had joined the army and let them do the things to her that lead her to what she was today. In fact, it was the day before she had went to the army to be called in. She had spent the day in her Nana's summer home, a pretty and simple cottage, and after dinner had just revealed to her family just then what she had done. Many of them were angry at the army for taking in a young girl, others were angry at her for doing this. They fought amongst themselves, wondering how to deal with this situation that they had in their hands. Should they let her go? Stop her? Hide her somewhere?<br/><br/>But Nana, sweet and wise Nana, hushed them all and looked her dead in the eye.<br/><br/>"Do what you must do, Maria," Nana said to her. "If you feel like this is the path you must take, so be it. But remember, my doors will always be open for you."<br/><br/>She smiled at the memory, remembering the beautiful door that was the front door of Nana's home. She remembered every flaw and imperfection of it but, in her eyes, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen before in her life. She opened her eyes and gasped a bit.<br/><br/>It was the door (http://www.lelouvre-antiques.com/images/01%20Architecturals/Rustic%20Spanish%20Door%201108-10%20%281%29.jpg) of her Nanai's summer home, and it was wide open.<br/><br/>"Yeah!" She clapped her hands together and jumped up and down, looking quite pleased. She turned to Oni for his approval, wondering if this was good enough for him.
