Notes: Follows directly on from Now What?.
He looks so young and vulnerable, asleep in the sea of red sheets. Sitting beside him Kse watches the steady rise and fall of his bandaged chest; more particularly staring at the scars that outnumber unmarked skin. It’s probably a miracle he’s still alive.
