St. Elsewhere

[ONESHOT]

Accessible from the asylum grounds through a door with a rusted lock, the bell tower was a pre-existing structure before the asylum was founded. Initially ignored as the staff had no real use for it, after a patient threw himself off of it, the bell tower was sealed with a heavy metal padlock. Despite this, it was still rung at certain times throughout the year, meaning the bell was still in good condition when the asylum was abandoned. Despite the lack of maintenance since, the bell and tower are still generally intact, although a few of the stairs may be slightly rotten. The padlock, however, rusted and appears to have been broken to allow access to the top of the tower. The top of the tower itself provides a nearly three hundred and sixty degree view over most of the island, although the safety rail doesn't appear capable of standing up to much force anymore.

[[Fiyori Senay, continued from Birth Of A Wish]]

There might or might not have been a misunderstanding of the term 'crematorium'. Fiyori wasn't the brightest bulb in the box when it came to map skills – she was lucky when she managed to follow the directions of a GPS system without accidentally ending up in Vegas – but now she dropped the ball hard.

Hard as fuck in fact.

Now, Fiyori felt her mistake was defensible. Yes, she did miss the crematorium, and yes she did miss it by quite a bunch. But Fiyori was tired. Tired of walking around, tired of people and tired of thinking. When she figured to use the Bell Tower to help her get an overview of the island and it's paths, the sky had already become dark. Not absolutely dark, but dark enough for Fiyori to see nothing. Dark, and cold as well. Freezing, practically, even if she took into account how much she got used to the temperatures.

So Fiyori sat down somewhere and simply fell asleep.

She woke up – having more bad dreams than she would've liked – a few hours later. She didn't have a time, because watches were antique and everybody had a smartphone... or well, nobody had a smartphone now to check the time. Had she guessed, she would've said it was 3 or 4 AM.

Fiyori remained awake, delirious mostly but still awake, for a few minutes.

It had been a little rest that she had been granted, but it was enough for Fiyori to think. She hadn't found Alba. She hadn't kept up with Brendan, stood him up to be honest. Fiyori resolved she'd have to find him come morning. Mostly to say sorry for the inconvenience. There was something, though, that made her wish she would not.

Fiyori fell asleep again. She would be gone from the tower before the announcement came.
