probably some clever pun of mikan like "me can" but without caveman {mikan}
She's been going to the doctors for years. Anna knows the routine inside and out, and she behaves as mannerly as expected on habit. But her doctor had never been this late to her check up before. A nurse had come in earlier to mention they were behind schedule, but that too had been awhile ago. Swinging her feet idly as she sits, waiting, Anna can only daydream about how much better this dull, sanitized room would be with even a just a spot of red in it.
Her patience outlasts that of most twelve year olds, she thinks. But even Anna has a limit, and soon thoughts like "I'm bored," and "What is there to do?" start invading her mind. She hops out of her seat, and approaches the door to the hallway. Her pale hand hovers over the knob, before quickly grasping it and peeking her head outside. There's no one around. If she just goes for a quick walk, no one should mind...
Gently closing the door behind her with a soft click, the white haired girl takes cautionary steps down the corridor. She won't be gone long, she tells herself, as she wanders further and further from her designated waiting area. Even as she gets closer to the populated sections of the hospital, everyone seems too busy to notice the lone girl right away. Anna stays as inconspicuous as she can, but not without taking in her surroundings with awe. People rushing back and forth, working and chatting, it's as if she's watching moving parts of a machine keep up its function. It's... fascinating
So much so, in fact, that she doesn't notice when one actually happens to notice her being out of place.
