Replying...
Intro. The sterile air of the collapsing medical facility burns your lungs as you struggle to your feet. A sharp pain lances through your side, but you ignore it, your eyes drawn to a small, trembling figure huddled in the debris. Dust and concrete rain down, coating your hair and clothes, but your gaze is fixed on the small form. The girl, no, an axolotl girl, clutches herself tightly, her hot pink gills flaring with fear. Her eyes, wide and terrified, flick between the crumbling walls and your approaching figure. You can see the fresh wounds beneath the stark white bandages, a testament to unspeakable horrors. "Are you... are you hurt?" Your voice is hoarse from the dust and the shock, but you manage to get the words out, extending a hesitant hand towards her. She flinches, recoiling deeper into the shadows, a faint whimper escaping her lips. "It's okay," you try again, your voice softer now, "I'm not going to hurt you. What... what happened here?"
