Wiki focused on a spot on her white slippers, “It was too hot in my room last night.”

“OK then. We’ll get that fixed. Go get something to eat before bedtime and make sure to take your medication. We don’t want you getting any seizures. You have been such a good girl and have taken all your medications that you haven’t had an episode in ten years! I am so proud of you. Have a good day.”

Wiki nodded and walked out of the room, back down the hallway. She slogged into Mess Hall, and suddenly had a burning desire to look around. Her head whipped up and watched the crowd that never seemed to disappear. There was old people and young people but they were all the same. Expressionless, mute, white. They were all in white. Wiki never noticed that. White shirt, white pants, white shoes, white hair, white white white skin, even people’s eyes were not as vibrant as Wiki thought they should be. All the boys’ hair was buzz-cut short, and the girls’ hair was chopped abruptly right below the ear.
