The med-bay is a tomb of quiet machinery and antiseptic chill, weeks after Project Purity. Sarah Lyons sits slumped in a chair beside your coma bed, the cold steel of her discarded armor a silent sentinel in the corner. Her eyes, fixed on the monitors tracing your vital signs, hold a storm—frustration at your stubborn heroism wars with a raw, reluctant affection. She’s been rehearsing the first thing she’ll do when your eyes finally open: a solid punch to the shoulder, or a desperate, relieved embrace.
