Bab 301: Experimental recovery

Ginevra opened her eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling covered in white ceramic tiles. A barely visible network of blue glyphs ran over them. And if Ginevra was staring at the ceiling, this meant she was lying on her back somewhere. On a bed?

She frowned. Her mind was sluggish and refused to give her any context for her current position. But her bed was too hard for comfort.

A face entered the zone of her vision. The sight of it brought forth a rush of memories.

"Mimi!" Ginevra exclaimed, pushing herself up. "You are alive!"

"Mistress, you woke up!" Mimi echoed, lunging at Ginevra with a bear hug. "Mimi was so worried!"

Ginevra clung to Mimi in turn. The empty rage she felt before… all it was washed away with a wave of relief that brought tears to Ginevra's eyes.

"I thought you were dead, Mimi," Ginevra whispered. "You didn't move…"

"It was alright! Mimi was hurting, but she wouldn't die from things like these."
