Waiting in Silence
[First Mao, now Hei. With their team diminished, Yin drifts. The cat gets fed, and she can be found at the supermarket buying food for it, and she still attends work, but beyond that she's nearly aimless.]
[For a time it seemed she was almost something other than perpetually listless. Now, however, to anyone who knew her well, she would be obviously worse. Emotionless, unaffected by everything around her, much more like when she first arrived. Barely communicative. To most, no, it wouldn't be much of a change.]
[Welcome Center]:
[She does her job, monotone as ever, but once she's at breaks Yin simply sits and stares. It's not all that unusual for her, but she doesn't even bother drinking tea to mask the fact she no longer needs to eat or drink.]
[Supermarket]:
[There's a thin girl carrying a basket of food, but on closer inspection it's all cans of cat food. No food for the girl.]
[Out on the street]:
[One day walking home from the Welcome Center Yin just stops next to a wall. She's unaware of passerby or time. There are no orders, and no one to give them. Feeding the cat, going to work - these are things that have become habit. It's the only reason she leaves the apartment at all, or she would be stuck sitting on the floor, much like she's standing still now.]
[People bump into her and complain about the obstacle she's become. There's no reply, no complaint from her, nor does she move.]
