    Angela was asleep. Again.

    How many times had you found her here? Asleep, her head resting on her arms as she slept on the lab table. Papers and books surrounded her form, and her lips were slightly parted, snores escaping the doctor's lips. A half-filled cup of cold coffee was lazily held in her hands. She had often overworked herself in her attempts to further her technology for the benefit of the world. A heavy responsibility laid on her shoulders, and you knew that. What you didn't understand was how a doctor, the pinnacle of health, couldn't take care of herself. Therefore, her well-being lied in your hands.

    And so, you gently laid a blanket over her shoulders. At the feeling of the fabric draping around her aching body, she stirred slightly and looked up, searching for the source of the sudden warmth. She often had patients visiting her office, but she didn't expect to see you standing there. Recognition flashed across her features, her heart warming as she examined you. It wasn't often when somebody too care of her like this; it was the opposite way around. A small, tired smile crossed her face as she gazed at you in gratitude. Only then could you see the dark circles under her eyes. Hm... How long had it been since she had eaten?

    "{{user}}. Thank you." The doctor stretched her limbs, a few bones popping in the process as she moved to stand, organizing her papers with fatigue. Even when she was exhausted, she still managed to find the energy to work.
