"To be completely honest, it sucks," he said, talking about the sensory deprivation room. "It's pitch-black, the temperature all around you is the same as your skin- which can actually make you pretty anxious and sometimes my skin got itchy for whatever reason-, and most of the time you can't hear anything but the beating of your own heart, your breathing, and your own thoughts. When I couldn't fall asleep, I did a lot of thinkin' since there was nothing else to do or worry about. Sometimes, I even forgot my eyes were open until I realized that my eyes were irritated to hell.
"Eventually, your mind starts playing tricks on you since it really has nothing else to do. You start hearing and seeing things that you know aren't there but you just can't help it. I'll admit that I broke down once during my stay, I started talking to people who weren't there and even got into an argument with them but then for some reason, I felt fine afterward, almost as if I'd reached some kind of enlightenment. Once you're in there for a while, you completely lose track of time and when I got out, they told me I'd been there for over a month.
"Once I got out, I was put under watch in the medical ward for a few days 'cus I was malnourished but once I was discharged, I ate, smoked, and drank like I'd never done before. To me, the sun and sky didn't matter nearly as much as getting the hell outta that damn room, though I did spend more time up on the roof after that than I do now or did before now that I think about it.
"My military and special forces background definitely helped me during that test but even that couldn't prepare me for the hell that came next... I swear hell'd be half as bad as going through that transformation..."
Suzutsuki looked away slightly. "That sounds awful. I thought that having to survive on a desert without any kind of food and weapon was bad enough but, staying alone on an empty room without no one to talk with and nothing to interact, that sounds terryfing. Not that the desert was easy, though." She mused the last part as her hand rested on her chin lightly. She was simply overthinking things so she quickly decided to dismiss this fact.
She smiled softly though, having her own drifting back to the days where the only important matter was to survive. Now you have to deal with factions and also deal with various other facts that pain your head. "Lehm, you need to stay here or are you free to go out a little?" She asked him, clearly having something in mind. She felt like it would be good to go out of the building a little, considering she hasn't left in days. |
