Yuki was observed via the cameras in her room from a distance. Whenever she was having nightmares and sleep paralysis the observing personnel would administer a dose of sedatives while monitoring the change in neurohormonal balance. The data indicated that whatever was happening to Sinon was mental and had little physiological expression except for the regular changes accompanying mood swings and psychological distress. Knowing the background behind her admission to the ward, however, nobody from the personnel dismissed the possibility of some phenomenon beyond the scope of measurement available.
Dr. Kitagawa entered the room as usual with her tablet in her hands. She was holding a tumbler with some warm drink that she was joyfully sipping while watching the data running down the screen. With a smile she greeted Yuki:
- "Good morning, Sinon-san! How have you been? Do you feel you are getting better? Does anything trouble you?".
