Bedroom 3

Victorique’s breath filled the dark, cramped, and humid space. Her increasing temperature made her feel like she was going to black out.

She closed her eyes and exhaled hot breaths in the darkness. She felt dizzy. With her small hands clutching the edge of the comforter, she slowly opened her green eyes and groaned. She was weak, but there was still a fiery glint in her eyes.

“I’m never getting out of here,” she groaned.

A distressed sigh came from outside the darkness.

Ms. Cecile came through the flowerbed maze to Victorique’s bedroom.

“Victorique, there’s a phone call for you… Oh, Doctor.”

Ms. Cecile stopped and glanced around.

In a corner of the room stood a small, elderly man in a white coat, wearing a frown. A square leather bag lay open on the small table. Holding a large, translucent syringe in one hand, the old man stared at Ms. Cecile.

Ms. Cecile looked toward the bed.

Victorique was not there. The bulging comforter was quivering. Ms. Cecile almost burst out laughing at the thought of what was under the comforter.

“Oh, my,” she muttered.

“Cecile,” the village doctor said. “As soon as I told her I’d give her a shot, this happened.” He looked at Ms. Cecile with a deep frown.

“I hate pain! Achoo!” A breathless, husky voice came from under the comforter.

“It works because it hurts, Victorique,” Ms. Cecile said.

“Lies.”

“I’m not lying.”

“…”

“Victorique!” Ms. Cecile tried to raise her voice, but her puppy-like image dampened any impact it might have had. The comforter still showed no sign of moving.

The doctor shrugged. “When I tried to remove the covers, she screamed. An otherworldly scream, that. She’s your student, isn’t she? Can you do something?”

“I-I’m not sure what I can do.” Ms. Cecile thought it over.

Silence filled the bedroom. There was no other sound, save for the occasional sneeze coming from under the covers. A breeze set the French windows creaking. Leaves glittered under the light of the early-summer sun.

“Ah!” Ms. Cecile clapped her hands together, then pointed toward the room next door. “I almost forgot why I came here. You have a call from your friend, Victorique.”

“Y-You’re lying.”

“H-How would I be lying?”

“I don’t have friends,” Victorique murmured sadly.

“Then what is Kujou to you?”

The comforter moved a little. Then stopped again.

Ms. Cecile glanced at the doctor.

“Kujou?” There was a hint of joy in Victorique’s voice.

“He’s calling from Saubreme. He says it’s an emergency.”

“Hmm…”

Ms. Cecile clenched her fists. Almost there.

“He was panicking. He might end the call soon.”

“Hmm…” The comforter shifted. “Stupid Kujou. Slow as always. His dumb face must have done something dumb that got him caught in a dumb situation.” She rose, her voice sounding a little excited.

Both Ms. Cecile and the doctor looked surprised. Victorique remained completely covered by the comforter as she began to move slowly, looking like a ghost. She got off the bed and headed toward the next room.

Ms. Cecile and the old doctor exchanged glances. Nodding, the teacher put one foot out, causing Victorique to trip and fall. She sneezed as she hit the floor.

“Now!” Ms.
