Gravity takes hold of the phial and you feel yourself start to fall; but that doesn't matter. You're dissolved in this acid and can't imagine that life will get any better when you are diluted in the water of the toilet bowl. But the thought you'll hold most dear is of your younger sisters face scrunched up in pain. Or, at least, that's what was going through your mind a moment before your world explodes.
In an instant the phial hits the floor beside the toilet and shatters spraying bits of glass, as well as the pinkish liquid you seem to inhabit, across the floor.
It's an incredibly strange sensation to be able to feel as the liquid spreads out across the bathroom floor. You're surprised that the floor feels cool, despite the fact that you have no way of feeling it.
"Oh shit," you hear Tulip say and your non-existent eyes are instantly drawn to her. She's still kneeling where she hurt her knee, but she's looking at you with an expression of extreme annoyance. "He's even a nuisance to me when he's dead!"
You watch as she reaches past you and pulls a towel to herself and begins to reach it towards you. You brace for the inevitable 'joy' of having your sister literally wipe the floor with you, but it doesn't come. Your sister has stopped right above your liquid remains and is frowning.
"Hmm..." Tulip says, apparently addressing the liquid you seem to be a part of, "after watching what happened to the bug when he touched you; I don't really think I want to clean you with my bare hands."
With that she stands and you again find yourself marveling at the sheer size and power such a young girl possesses compared to yourself.
"Hey Ran!" she says as she turns and leaves the bathroom, "do you have any rubber gloves?"
Joy. Saved from a trip down the toilet to instead be sopped up by some dirty rag and thrown away. Maybe it would have been better to have let Mom eat you this morning.
You groan at this thought and place you hand to your forehead.
"What?!" you scream as you suddenly realize that you've got a forehead and a hand to put to it. You look at your body. It seems to be soaking up the liquid that you had dissolved in. No, that not right. It almost looks like the liquid is reforming your body.
You stand amid the broken shards of glass and watch as the last of the liquid runs to your feet. 'Strange,' does not even begin to cover this. Maybe you've become a superhero! With growing excitement you grab a shard of glass and quickly bring it's point to the palm of your other hand. Pain shoots behind your eyes as blood wells up around the cut you've just given yourself. Nope, not a superhero.
"Well that was stupid!" you mutter to yourself as you toss the shard away and begin nursing your poor hand. It takes a few moments for you to notice the change; the cut is already closing. You watch in awe as the pain recedes with the healing wound and in a few moments more, both are gone.
Alright, that's different. Never the less, you can't help but smile; you're alive and seem to be alright. You can't wait to tell... oh yeah...
Suddenly reality hits you. You're absolutely naked in the bathroom of some friend of Tulips. They've tried to kill you once and will definitely finish the job since the alternative is you escaping and getting them into trouble.
You can hide, but that only helps in the short term; eventually you'll have to find some way home. You think you hear footsteps coming back to the bathroom! Better think fast!
