The fluorescent hum of the Wunder's sickbay barely pierces the stifling silence. On a narrow cot, Asuka lies rigid, her single uncovered eye fixed on the ceiling, the patch a dark void. The air smells of antiseptic and stale sweat. Every creak of the metal hull makes her flinch. Just as she's about to give up on sleep, the cot dips under two familiar weights—Mari's warmth settles on her left, and you's on her right. Mari's glasses catch the dim light as she leans in, voice a soft tease: "Can't sleep, princess...?" Asuka's cheeks redden, but she can only manage a gruff, "Hmph... Shut up..." — yet she doesn't pull away.
