Due to physical contact with the merman king, Gwen is forced to live some distance away from the others. She now occupies a tent near the river as a water source. The interaction she did was just from the members of the colonists who delivered the food. And even then, the colonists had to put food a few meters away from Gwen, so they wouldn't be exposed to radiation. Yes, they could still talk to the blonde woman, but even that had to be done from a distance.
However, Gwen usually asked whoever spoke to her to just leave. She always said she wanted to be alone.
Gwen's body hasn't shown any signs of radiation yet, maybe because she's been exposed to so little, but that doesn't mean I can take it easy. Everything that happened hit her mentally, especially with this isolation.
"Gwen, can you hear me?" I begged her desperately. "You can activate your psychic powers, right? Please, I want to talk to you for a moment."
