''Helloooooooo? Ark to Anis, establishing contact!''

I chop Anis on the head, waking her up at last.

Her eyes boom open. She looks very startled and begins looking around in confusion and panic.

''...'' I sigh, putting both my hands on her shoulder. ''Anis, it's just me.''

Our eyes lock onto each other. She finally begins to calm down, her gaze softening and her lips letting out a sigh of relief.

For context, Anis was about to ask me what seemed like a very important question. But then, right as she was on the verge of saying it, fell asleep.

What I mean is, she quite literally fainted in front of me.

If it wasn't for my augmented arm, I'd be crushed right now. And probably very smelly on top of that.
