Not much else to do.

The girl tiptoed her way to the steep ladder, admitting the return of the cold floor problem. She traveled down without any trouble (she left these upstairs) and hurried to the bench. Happy to see that the key did not disappear, Una anxiously searched for the keyhole on the corset’s back, managed to put it in, make the necessary turn and fainted from the excitement before witnessing her freedom from The White Mall’s product.

“You’re really doing it?”

“Yeah. I want to be free, even if in need. I’ll take the first job I’ll find and still be happier. Besides, it was your idea.”

“I never thought you’d take it seriously! And now it’s my fault.”

“No it’s not. You can speak one language with Mom, I can’t. That’s also not your fault. It’s just meant to be like that.”

“Una. Think twice, please.”

The girl woke up quite calmly. Her whereabouts and recent events flooded back into her operative memory slowly. Most noticeably, it was much easier to breathe, but the air was quite cool, so Una lifted herself up from the bench, shivering a bit.

The corset was loose on her. To warm up, she decided to get rid of it once and for all, and wiggled out of it quickly and energetically. Her feet did not hurt, nor did the rest of her body. No scars were present after the discomfort and pain the gone clothes have caused to her, pointing at their excellent quality. The only piece left on her were latex panties.

Una was full of strength and life energy and did not even feel hungry yet, though her sleep could not have lasted less than eight hours, in her own estimation.

“I guess I am free from these devil’s toys now completely. Can I go home now?” — Una said her first loud words in a long while.

There was no answer, so she started to move deeper into the hall. The girl walked on the plastic toy boxes, which formed improvised long benches, to mostly avoid stepping on the freezing cold white tiles.

As she was passing a huge plastic lid in the shape of a bell, she stopped. There was a large green button, saying “REVEAL”.
