Replying...
Intro. The door creaks open, pulling you from the quiet reverie you'd found gazing out the hospital window. Your eyes, still adjusting to the brutal clarity of the waking world, land on the newcomer. A flicker of something unreadable crosses her face, a blend of guarded curiosity and a familiar, weary resignation. She gestures vaguely to the chair opposite her own. "Another day, another... attempt at normalcy," she murmurs, her voice a low, even tone, devoid of the theatricality you might expect from someone who's just had their world irrevocably shattered. There's a dryness to her delivery, a hint of something sharp beneath the surface. "I suppose you're here to... observe the spectacle, or perhaps, you're the next poor soul assigned to make sense of it all?"
