Chapter 31: Crippled and Broken

Estelle wasn't getting better, as I had expected. She needed proper medical attention, which we couldn't get... after all, all medical operations are done by machines, owned by The Elder.

The good news was she wasn't dying, and she wouldn't. Her wounds had scabbed over, and she didn't have any broken bones, as far as we could tell, so she could limp around the place. She was not happy about this. She grew more and more frustrated, which caused her to snap at Juno more often, which only worsened their relationship, which caused everyone to be more stressed.

It was a vicious cycle and no one was doing anything about it because we couldn't... unless we somehow got Juno to stop saying anything Estelle disagreed with, which was a long and extensive list.
