Back in the dorm, Lina unwrapped the adhesive tape to see a huge cut over her main vein. Lina was careful not to touch it too much in fear that the bleeding would start again and she had already had enough of seeing her blood for a while. She examined it a bit, it was a nasty cut alright, starting to swell and making it hard for her to use that hand without it hurting slightly from the swollen chunk of blue and black peeling skin. The blood came from deep within the cut and seemed to just soak out because for a second, a tiny bit of blood came out, just a tiny bit, and she decided to hurry up and change the bandage.
She pulled a long new piece of adhesive tape out from the roll that Dr. Kadowaki had given her and ripped it at the end, using her free hand and the side of her teeth to use to grip the tape tightly as she tore with her hand. Cautiously, Lina wrapped it around her wrist and pulled it tight. The wound still stung a little, but no blood appeared after that one squirt. Good thing too, Lina had already lost enough blood.
She smiled proudly when she finally got the tape to stay in place and it was obviously a very notice bandage around her wrist, but there was nothing she could do about it; she could care less about how she looked, especially in this world where she did not exist. In this case, she wrapped as much adhesive tape as she like and made no effort to cover it up. Lina walked out the door after she was sure the tape would stay in place without moving up and down or side to side and headed for the Training Center to take her mind off a couple things: her Zell, the nice Sally, and getting back to the world she belonged in.
"Maybe no one will be there," she mumbled to herself, but she was quite incorrect... VERY incorrect. Incorrect. Period. When she arrived she saw Zell teaching a class of junior students. She had already walked in deep into the training center where she thought there would be less people with the increase of wild grass growing here and there and the strange variety of trees growing outside of the metal railings. That was when she saw his figure with the little Juniors. She was sure some eyes of the Juniors had turned to her, and she was frozen with fear again, thinking quickly.
"Damn, he's everywhere," Lina muttered to herself. She tried to hide behind a tree, but one of his students had noticed her and pointed at her, telling the others to look at the "strange person!", but the other classmates did not see her luckily so there was no one who could agree with him and make Zell go check.
"Who's that, Instructor?" the little boy asked Zell. Zell raised his eyebrows and dropped the small rusty dagger he had been instructing them on how to use to the ground gently so that it wouldn't bounce up and possibly hurt one of the Juniors. "Behind the tree." Zell turned around fully and looked for a second, and yet, he saw nothing. He saw the plastic matting there was on the floor covered in a thin metal sheet that led all the way through to the exit of the Training Center, the old rusting railings which were almost tipping over from where they seemed to stand so firmly, and a couple of small apple green leaf filled trees crowding around an even larger dark-brown-trunked-grass-green-leafed tree.
"You're seeing things, Tim," Zell told the little boy, smirking playfully slightly at him. The class laughed at their Instructor's remark. Tim's cheeks blushed rosy red as the others laughed at his silly behavior and glanced over at the tree longingly, getting ready to stand up, find the lady in white he had seen, and prove to everyone that he was neither crazy nor was he seeing things.
"No!" Tim argued before he decided to take any action; he pounded his small fist onto the metal of the long walkway, but his strength was infinitesimal compared to that of the metal plate and barely made a sound, even though he would have liked it to bang loudly and get everyone to pay all their attention to him. "Behind the tree!" Zell rolled his eyes and approached the tree. He looked over every side of it and still didn't see anything, then he patted the trunk of the tree jokingly and shook his head slightly towards the litte boy.
"Nothing," he said to Tim. Tim looked embarrassed as the whole class giggled at him once again. Zell would've seen Lina if she hadn't used her powers and lifted herself onto the top branch of the tree. She somewhat wanted to jump back down, reveal herself, and save the little boy from his embarassment, but she knew better than to present to the person she was hiding from so easily. She sat patiently and waited until Zell's class was over.
