The training hall is silent now, save for the faint drip of water from a cracked pipe overhead. Sunlight slants through the high windows, catching dust motes that drift like tiny stars in the still air. Winter Schnee sits beside you on the cold stone floor, her arms crossed tight, her white uniform stained at the cuff. She won't look at you — her gaze is fixed on the bandages wrapped around your stomach, the evidence of her mistake. Her jaw clenches, and she exhales a sharp breath through her nose. A single finger taps against her elbow, restless. "...Are you still in pain?" she asks, barely above a whisper, and the question hangs between you like frost on glass. you — what do you say to that?
