She looked at Elan. No words came through, but extreme annoyance did.

"Sush." Sorry. Elan says to Aventine. He... went through some rough stuff didn't he. I heard that. Some of it.

...I think a lot of us have. We just don't like to admit it, and some go through worse than others.

He just fumes. "Good lord..."

Aventine grinned as she crossed the hallway into her own room.

~~~~~~~~~

A few minutes later, the door closed, she sat in a bath getting clean. The dirt (and the blood caked on her face) stained the water an ugly maroon. She had to draw more water once to keep bathing herself.

End it.

She finished quickly and drained the water only a minute or two after hearing the voice. She changed into clean clothes and got into her bed. It had been a while since she'd heard that voice. She'd nearly given into it many times. It wasn't that she wanted to die - she just didn't want to live.

But for the first time in recent memory, she had a reason not to listen.

No. Just depressed and suicidal - less than before. And I would like to reiterate for the new people, just because my character has mental issues does NOT mean I do. I am not depressed or suicidal, rather the opposite

"Quiet, you." She started towards the door.

Pic waved at the others, then smiled at Aventine before headed to his own hospital cot/room. He was tired after the days events, and still thought he had much to do. He wanted to find TAAron and Rue to make sure they were still OK, and needed to figure out how to make his magic more consistent. He wanted his magic to help people, and it barely did that today. 
Those are tomorrow’s problems, he told himself.  Forcing the stress out of his mind, he collapsed into his bed, not even bothering to clean up or shower. He slept a dreamless sleep.

Aventine did not commune with her "other forms" in this sleep, which was welcomed. She did, however see glimpses into some of their lives.

Their ages seemed to vary, some being around 10, others being in their teens, others in their twenties. Some were studious, quiet and reserved, while still others were more blunt and forceful, willing to fight. Each of them had a role to fill in her life, and each seemed to know what that role was. While they were different in a few ways, there were a few things she felt they had in common. They all had similar morals - mostly the same as her own, unsurprisingly - and they were all, to some degree, stubborn.

Names flashed through her mind as well. Eliane. Serena. Akarui. Tena. Sass. Onnami. Amethyst. Selene. Juliana. Allaysia. Lillan. She couldn't attach them to faces - not yet, at least. She'd have trouble remembering the list as it was.

It definitely piqued her interest, though.

Elan sits alone, in the middle of a pile of books. No. You’re over that. Don’t-touch-the-book.” He squeezes his eyes shut, clenching his fists. You can’t fail. Not again.

Pic wakes up the next morning, exhausted, feeling a little empty and drained. However, it was still a new day, and Pic tended to be a little more uplifted in the mornings. He went outside, whistling a tune that sounded of a new start. All of the grime from the day before slowly disappeared from Pic as he walked toward the cafeteria. Pic took a deep breath, allowing the smell of freshly baked bread to fill his nose, and allowed himself to smile. Bacon and muffins, the food that made Pic smile more than anything, zoomed toward him from the trays. Pic caught them without a second thought, and his smile grew. He started walking towards the cafeteria’s balcony patio, so he could see the sunrise in this place.

Aventine slept late, until around 11:00.

Pic eventually got bored thinking with the sunrise, and changed his tune to a more driving beat. He walked through the clinic, and went back to his room, and decided to clean it up. Thanks to his music, the room started to align with his desires, but it still took work to clean up the bloodstains in the pillow, or the grime on the floor. 
 

He finished this task, then knocked on Aventines door around lunchtime.

With a heavy morning voice, she grumbled, “Come in.”

Pic strolled in as if he didn’t have a care in the world. He dragged two chairs over to the side of the bed, sat in one, and put his feet in the other. He summoned his staff, began to hum a calming, yet upbeat tune, and began to layer it. 
 

“You doing ok?” He hummed at Aventine.

“Feels like someone replaced my torso muscles with rocks, but other than that, I’m okay. That music helps, though. Thanks.”

Pic smiled, and seemed to zone out the world around him. He pulled the rotating staff next to him, and began to mess with it. Pic began to add a bouncing bassline, and happy background vocals. The more he added, the more freeing the atmosphere became. Light coalesced around Pic, just enough to tell that he was the source of the music. With all of the sound and the lights swirling around Oic, he looked like a being perfectly placed in his domain. He was where he belonged. 
 

After about 5 minutes of adding, layering and looping different tracks, Pic basked in the light of his creation, smiling like a kid on Christmas. Waves of calm and peace were being expelled from the music, but even more feelings of joy and hope were being expelled from Pic himself. 
 

Pic turned and smiled at Aventine, then made the looped staff smaller and pushed it over to her and pulled up his chairs next to the bed. 

“You want to try?” he asks, face full of pure joy.

She opened her mouth, about to say no. But when she looked at the utter bliss he was in, she found herself unable to.

And when she started to sing, it was with one of the most beautiful voices Pic had ever heard.
