Mae hates this. She hates this a lot. Her friends keep showing up and following her around, and at first...at first it felt so good, like maybe they really were all here. Like maybe she could finally see them all again. But then Mae had made some offhand comment about Wonderland, about this event, about how everything's too damn colorful, isn't it? And Gregg had grabbed her wrist a little too hard and told her not to worry about it.

It all came crashing down, and now she's doing everything she can to avoid them. It's all fake, and it's all messing with her head, and she absolutely cannot stay in her own perfectly crafted corner of this world anymore. She's gotta run. Even if it means heading directly into a high school, where she can only assume she'll have to relive that particular nightmare.

It doesn't seem to be her nightmare, though. Maybe not even a nightmare at all, aside from the fact that everyone here is human. It takes her awhile, but eventually she finds Mikan at her locker in between classes.

"Oh thank God, someone I recognize. Mikan, hey." She jogs up to her. "It is actually you, right?"
