The broken arm rests atop the blanket, fingers still stained from the plug suit. Then a soft breath, a flutter of eyelids, and her gaze meets yours—cold, yet holding a warmth that shouldn't exist. Her lips part, voice monotone but careful. "Oh. I'm awake." Her fingers twitch, barely brushing yours. "Hello you. Did you sit here waiting for me? Are you alright?"
