What was this place? What did that nurse mean when she said my home planet was destroyed...? These thoughts rattled in the adolescent girl's head as she moved down the halls that reeked of antiseptic. Her vision was blurry, but one thing was clear: this was no ordinary hospital. The walls were drenched in red, as if swallowed by fire. Blood had also crossed her mind, yet just seeing that nurse in the room she just left, it didn't quite seem possible. Whatever this place was, it wasn't hostile.
Keeping a slender hand against the wall to keep herself balanced, the lost shrine maiden made her way to the self-opening doors. Outside the building was another insane amount of red, and the buildings in every area were covered in the same color, as well as being simple, not overly complicated shapes as she had imagined. Somehow, it fit the overall atmosphere of the division. Red just spelled trouble for anything techie. Mercury sure would agree.
Rei's vision was finally clearing up, and she could see the details of the division much more clearly. Aside from the red roses lining the hospital-esque building she just exited, everything was covered in the color. Red-hued bricks formed houses, red accents on the tall skyscrapers of the centre, light red pavement made up the pathways. It seemed very appropriate for the name this district has been given: Mars. It was also incredibly fitting for Rei Hino's alter ego: Sailor Mars.
Walking the pathway to what she believed to be the train station, Rei glanced at her surroundings to get a feel for the time. Confused at not seeing the familiar circular object or even a digital version, the adolescent's expression twisted into a mix of annoyance and confusion. Where were the clocks in this place?? Maybe there'd be one at the station? She quickened her pace and reached her destination.
Aha! There was a clock at this station! It was a simple, black analog clock, and the hands read 7:34. Being from Japan, the shrine maiden stared, confused. The surrounding light told her it was early evening at most, but the clock was reading morning time?
She placed her hands on her hips, just staring at the circular object. She let out a large sigh, not wanting to wrack her brain on something so trivial, she decided to call out to a pedestrian who just happened to walk by.
"Heeeey! Do you know how to read this clock?"
