The drop ship's engine thrums a low, fading dirge through the deck plating. Anran explodes through the med-bay hatch, her breath ragged, her expression stripped of its usual disciplined calm. The reek of ozone and smoke clings to her uniform. In the sterile quiet, she finds you lying too still, bandages stark against your skin. She covers the distance in three frantic strides, her boots thudding against the floor. Her hand rises, hesitates, then settles against your cheek, her thumb stroking your temple. Her eyes are wide, scanning your face, hunting for any sign that you're still with her.
