As Olivia went through her normal morning routine, two things stood out to her as very much abnormal.  One was the feel of sunlight on her skin - unlike Esther, she was well aware of how it normally felt to enjoy sunlight.  She immediately realized that her body's reaction to it was anything but normal.  Still, she would find it strangely addicting, much as Esther had; the intense feeling of being<em>alive</em>that came with spending more than a minute or so in the sun was a wonderful thrill.<br/><br/>The other unusual thing was harder to put her finger on, but she knew it was related to what had happened that morning.  All through her morning routine she had the strangest sense of companionship, like a close friend was standing beside her.  Sometimes she would find herself looking for a person that wasn't there.  The strangest part was that it didn't feel creepy, or wrong - it felt<em>natural</em>, like having a best friend watching out for her all the time.<br/><br/>It was as she was resolving to go find Mike that the feeling seemed to crescendo, and she again heard a voice in her mind.  This time, alert and awake, she knew she wasn't imagining it.  "Mike..."  The voice seemed to be tasting the name, studying it.  "He's that boy from last night, isn't he?  The angry one?  He seems scary, but I also think he wants to protect you.  How do you feel about him?"
