[ kate's just on one of the couches in the relaxation area. she's wearing a hoodie and a skirt, and while it's hard to tell what the state of her injuries is, it looks like her left leg is bandaged.

it looks like she hasn't moved around much today; she has a half-empty glass of water and a book at her side, as well as her phone close at hand. there's a steady stream of smoke that rises from her head. she lifts her head when she sees roxana, but doesn't say anything right away. ]

[disingenuous]

I hope someone carried you here today, Kate. How are you feeling today?

[ injury-wise. emotions-wise. roxana sits on a nearby couch. ]

[sootprints]

... A little shocked, to tell the truth.

[disingenuous]

Because it's two? Or because it's Vi and Anders?

[ or both. ]

Or something else?

[sootprints]

The latter. I've seen weeks where lots of people died before, so that isn't as surprising...

But, yesterday, it felt like I could handle anything with Vi and Wis'adel there with me... We stuck together, until late into the evening. I couldn't imagine her just disappearing by morning.

[disingenuous]

Because of your experience together, you forged deeper bonds. Do you feel lonelier to see her gone?

[sootprints]

A little.

... Were you close to either of them?

[disingenuous]

I was getting to know Vi.

[ they were on the same team. ]

You should send her or both of them a text message, if you haven't already.

[sootprints]

... Yes. I'll do that.

At least there is that...

[ before, it sure wouldn't have been an option so early on. ]

[disingenuous]

It's not the same, and it doesn't make any of this better, but at least it's an option. Better sooner than later, isn't it?

[ the one good thing about having done this all before... ]
