- "Still nothing? She's not awake yet?"

"No, Doctor. But her vitals are stable, so it could be any day now."

- "Good. I'll be sure to let the higher-ups know."

"I sure wonder what they've seen in there."

- "..."

- "Going by their injuries, they've seen nothing more than hell itself."

A soft, morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow upon the sterile hospital room.

Y/n lay motionless on the crisp white sheets. Tubes and wires snaked around her body, connecting her to machines that monitored her every breath and heartbeat.

With a gentle push, the door creaked open. A nurse stepped into the room.

"Morning." She said, but as expected, got no response.

Y/n was confused and disoriented. Memories began to flood in, but not all at once; Training. The forest. Her crew. Coco.

Azulin.

"I've been out for days? But, the last thing I remember was.." Y/n clutched the soft sheets, "..falling."

Bruises and tender scratch marks marred the once smooth canvas of her (f/c) fur.

"Hm." The Doctor sighed, "Yes, it's thanks to the Almighty that you're still alive. But.."
