Slaves of the Pillar

"My name is Hina. Hina means sunshine. Hehehe. Mother wants me to grow up like the sun." The kid introduced herself as she follows Kali.

"Like the sun? That's a weird aspiration." Kali replied.

"Hehehe. Ma'am is funny."

'The feels déjà vu.' Kali thought as she tried to recall.

"Ma'am are you going to the bathroom?"

"What?" Kali turns to see the kid following her hop around people's bodies as if she is playing.

"Ta dah!" She raises her arms up in the air like she just finished a performance.

'She is playing..' Kali thought.

"Ma'am, that way is to the bathroom. Do you need to go there?" She whispered like it was some secret."

Kali looks ahead and all she sees is a dark pathway.

"Hey kid, how long have you been living here?"

"Hmm. Mom and I arrived here… ummm… hmmm.. maybe 55 nights ago." Unsure if it was really 55 nights ago, the kid raised her hand and counted something with her fingers.
