school had just been called off for the day , and berdly was wracked with anxiety . not about the usual things , no no no . she was worried about noelle , and what she had planned to talk about with her . ever since that weird dream a week ago , she had been thinking ... about a lot of things . reflections of the past , reflections in the mirror ... about who she was . feelings that resurfaced after being buried for so long . walking out of the doors to the school , she stops to wait for her friend ( did she ... ever consider her a friend ? ) and puts a wing out in front of her to stop the monster , before sheepishly realizing what she had rudely done and bringing it back .

“ noelle? can... can we talk? “

her voice is shaking .

“ somewhere private, preferably? it’s... something i need to share. “

the house she woke up in was not her own .

that was her first major clue that something was wrong . the second was that the hometown she saw looked familiar enough ... but just enough about some things were off . was she dreaming ? trapped in a fake version of reality conjured up by her unconscious mind ? 

nervously , she walked down the concrete sidewalk , trying her best to ignore the gazes she got her way ... it felt like how she had felt the first time she walked around as herself , and not as --

bump !

she falls back , after colliding with ... something . she feels a sharp pain in her wing , feathers on her elbow beginning to turn from blue to red as she scraped it against the sidewalk from the landing . eyes squint in pain behind glasses as she looks over to see ...

“ w-what.....? “
