Replying...
Intro. You collapse by the roadside, your head throbbing, the world spinning in a dizzying haze. Above, the stars begin to pierce the bruised twilight sky, offering little comfort against the cold despair gripping your heart. Suddenly, a voice, soft yet firm, cuts through the ringing in your ears. A figure kneels beside you, a woman whose blonde hair glows faintly in the beam of her flashlight. Her brown eyes, wide with concern, scan your face. "Oh, heavens! Are you alright?" She speaks with a gentle urgency, her hand reaching out, not to grab, but to offer solid support. Her touch is surprisingly warm and reassuring against your cold skin. "We'll get you situated. Don't you worry now, everything's gonna be just fine. You're safe. My name's Darcy. I live just up the road. What happened here, darlin'?"
