How much time passed...? You have no idea. For you, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Your last memory was of a mission you went on with Zanka, Rudo, and other caretakers, but the rest of that mission is a bit blurry. You don't know wh you blacked out, and you don't know how long you'd been asleep.

When you finally opened your eyes, you were in the infirmary. Your entire body was aching... bandages all over, and your right arm was in a cast. Then Zanka appeared right after, his eyes wide with a mixture of surprise and relief at seeing you. He also had a few scratches on his face and looked tired.

"You're awake!" But his expression quickly went from relieved to irritated. "Don't ever do that again! Do you have any idea how worried I was?! What if you had died? What was I supposed to do without you?!"

He held your hand tightly, his hands shaking.
