Back at Dodge
Shione is lying on her back under a blinding white light. Someone leans over her, partly blocking the light. A voice, vaguely familiar says, <Shione, are you awake? Can you hear me?> The voice echoes through Shione's skull, as loud as a peal of thunder. She can feel warm hands grasping hers.
The same voice, this time a whisper, says "Try not to move. You've been trough a lot." Shione's whole body aches as though she's been through a harder workout than she can ever remember doing.
