Chapter 5: Chapter 3: Descent

In the darkness where neon lights are plastered on the wall. With no one in sight from left to right, I stood there idly, waiting for the heavy clunking of metal behind the elevator door to dissipate.

I had a small smile on my face when I grabbed my hair on both hands gently squeezing it. Especially the soft texture rubbing on my palms were soothing upon touch.

Pulling it to my nose, the scent of flowers passed through as it was the smell from the shampoo I used earlier mixed with the other from the rooftop.

"Maybe being a girl isn't that bad." I mumbled to myself.

Though I'm not completely human either, I ignored it as there won't be anyone out there to judge me anymore. Until the view from the rooftop tells me otherwise, it feels lonely that there aren't any people around me anymore. I could only hope that there are survivors or other settlements around this area after this city fell to ruins.

With hair covering my face, satisfied with its therapeutic effect to my stressed mind.

I gaze upon it once again, it was then I realize how I haven't fully experience having hair this long. Placing my hair in front of me, my fingers picked up strands and start intertwining it with each other.

"Hm~ mm~ mMmm~ mMmMmHmm~" As my fingers wove my hair into a braid, I hummed a song that brought nostalgia-

"La~ Laa~ Lalala~" Until my soft voice leak out in its place.

My pitch and rhythm were scuffed but I'd rather enjoy the enjoy the feeling the song conveyed. With the clunking of metal as the bass, I immersed myself as I finished braiding my hair.

Dun...
