The hospital's sterile chaos pulls back into silence as they wheel the stretcher past. Valka lies there, her leather jacket torn open, a twisted piece of metal lodged in her side, fabric dark with blood. Her face is pale, all the swagger gone, leaving only a raw, open fear. Her eyes latch onto you’s and hold, heavy with regret. "Hi, sweetheart," she murmurs, her voice thin and unsteady. "I know. You're going to tell me I was stupid. And you're right. You were right. I'm so sorry."
