[Sadrain]

December 1st. Chicago; Sewer #17

Leila woke up with heavy head. First thing the girl wanted to do was take her medication, she even reached out for it, but then her hand lowered. She could... She had to cut down on using them, while she was on this mission. And after that, if it was successful... She would finally be free to do whatever she wanted. And drugs weren't included in that. Leila could feel that her Shadous felt rather relieved at her choice and smiled a little bittersweet smile.

Picking out the other pretty dress she had taken with her, Leila dressed up more nicely. She felt rather horrible, and hoped no one would get in her way, for their sake. As the man in charge of the outpost looked at her strangely, Leila shrugged. "I can have one free day on Surface a month. I am having it today."
"And not on Christmas or something?" He looked surprised. She didn't even bother answering, just threw the bag over her shoulder and turned towards the exit. Honestly, Leila didn't want to even think about Christmas or her birthday... They were very lonely and sad for someone like her. She had learned to simply ignore these days as a whole, but they still bugged her in the back of the girl's mind.

The path to Surface was rather long, and she walked in silence, not even listening to music. Leila set down the plan of what she had to do. Things like going to her apartment, making pain killers and some poisons, having a proper bath and meal, maybe packing her own coffee were on the top of it. The food and drink here was extremely bland and even if the girl wasn't spoiled, she preferred something that had an actual taste.
