"Like my head has been bludgeoned with a charged sledgehammer." Izea answered after a momenr ot wo.

"Which is.... not fun. At all." She added with a bit of a groan. She didn't move though, as she knew it'd be better if she didn't for the moment. She didn't think her head could exactly handle it .

"What the hell happened?" She asked.

"The last thing I remember is being with Val at his place and he was barking orders at me."

One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Nate sighed.

"A lot." he said.

"It seems he hit you." he told her.

"And his mana fried your eye... and your heart." he continued.

"Now, I know that second part raises a LOT of questions." he quickly said further.

"But Agent Sharp can answer them when he's called down here to speak with you."

"So..." Izea started before sighing, heavily.

".... I'm going to guess that the eye isn't savable, hence the bandages." She commented.

"Gimme the deets."

Nate shook his head.

"It isn't." he said.

"It'll never work again." he told her.

"But... I talked to Lunet and Leo, and they said they might be able to give you a cybernetic implant to replace it." he then said.

"Assuming you want that." he continued.

"I can have them stop by and discuss it with you." he then offered.

Izea was silent before sighing, heavily.

"I don't suppose that's part of the reason that my head hurts." She commented.

"That's where the bulk of the damage was concentrated." Nate responded.

"Let's do it then. I assume that it'll be better than an empty socket, and knowing what they did for my arm, and lunets visor, I'm rather certain that what they can cook up would be loads better than being half blind."

Nate nodded.

"I'll call them in to discuss it with you." he told her.

"But first... I'll call Agent Sharp to come down and have a chat with you." he then said.

"You feel up for that?" he asked.

"Or do you need some time to recuperate?" he asked further.

"Something to help with this blooming headache would be fantastic, if at all possible." izea commented after a moment or two. That much was true, she was fine... Aside form her head. The pain was enough that she was sure that if she were to try and see anything for the moment, she wouldn't be able to see straight.

" I realise it might not be, but it'd be grand if it was possible."

"Ah, yes." Nate responded.

"I got something for that." he told her.

"Should help, anyway." he went on, digging in his pocket and producing a bottle of tablets. He handed one to her, and sighed.

"Let that dissolve in your mouth." he continued.

"Once that's done, wash it down with this." he went on, handing her a bottle of water.

"Should take the edge of, at the very least, and it should be within a couple of minutes."

"Perfect." Izea said as she accepted what he handed her, and carefully sat up.

"Thanks." She added.

[b]"And once my head isn't about implode, I'm good to talk to Sharp, if he needs to talk to me."[b] She told him honestly. After saying that, she popped the tablet into her mouth, letting it dissolve as she was told to.

Nate watched as she did so, and then drank some of the water.

"I'll wait here." he said.

"As I said, it should take about a couple of minutes before you feel something." he told her.

"It's pretty fast-acting." he chuckled.

"But just try and relax, and recuperate." he then suggested.

"You've been through a lot, to understate it."

Sure enough, it didn't take long at all before Izea told him she was good. After a few more questions, Nate headed off to let Sharp know that she was good, and he could come talk to her if he wanted to know.

When Hal arrived, he found Izea sitting up in the bed, her dicking around on her phone.

"Hey." She greeted as he entered the room, and she locked her phone, setting it aside.

"Nate said you wanted to speak with me. What's up?"

"Yes." he replied.

"...well.... first thing." he then muttered with a sigh.

He proceeded to tell her what had happened with Valentino, what he had done, the proceedings, his confessions... basically, he filled her in on what she had missed while she was unconscious.

"So, now a question." he said.

"Do YOU wish to press charges?" he asked.

"He DID attack you, blinded you in one eye, and nearly killed you." he said further.

Izea paused a moment.

"MNy gut instinct is a definite yes." She started.

"But... I dunno." she admited, pausing again.

"I want to see him get the help he obviously needs, moreso than anything." She added, which was definitely different than what one might expect from a 'standard' goblin.

"And if pressing charges is the best way for that to happen, then sign me up."

"...very well." Hal replied.

"I'll get that started." he told her.

He then sighed, and shook his head.

"Also... Izea... we need to talk." he said.

"About... well... how unique you really are." he continued.

"And about why your ears healed the way they did."

Izea just sighed.

"Do I want to know?" She asked, her voice curious and possibly with a hint of annoyance. She wasn't sure she needed or wanted anything else to make her stand out from the crowd. She already stood out loads, she was sure.

"And is it something that will kill me if not handled properly?" She then asked.

"To answer your first question, you should." he said.

"As for the second one... probably not." he told her.

He then proceeded to tell her what he had told Angela, going into a little more detail, and making sure she understood what he was saying. It took a bit, about 30-40 minutes, and then he sighed.

"So... yeah, I've only seen about a dozen 'Manafests' in my life." he reiterated.

"You can come back from terminal injuries." he told her.

"Like what happened to your heart."

"So... basically... my heart is a mana crystal now, much like how I have, here." Izea commented, motioning to the spot on her ear.

"Suffice to say.... I'm both surprised, and not at all." she admitted.

"Is... there anything actually known about them?" She then asked "Like, anything concrete? Or is it still just speculation, mostly?"

"Speculation, sadly." Hal replied.

"As I said, I only know of a dozen, and... well... let's just say I've been around." he told her.

"...for a VERY long time." he muttered.

"However, it's also been my experience that this is nothing bad." he then assured her.

"I mean... it literally saved your life." he said.

"And I'm willing to bet that, under that bandage... is a crystal orb where your eye once was."

Izea was silent for a moment before sighing heavily.

"well then." She said simply.

"I guess all I can do is just try not to beat this body up too much." She commented.

"The last thing I need is more spots like what I already have." She added. ".... I kinda fear that might turn me into an outright crystal at some point. Which would suck. A lot." She finished with a laugh.

Hal thought for a moment when she said that.

"Yes... yes, indeed." he said.

"Izea." he then addressed her.

"When you're clear to leave the medical wing... come see me." he told her.

"I want to discuss something with you." he went on.

"It's nothing pressing, or concerning, or anything ominous... but... I think I'm getting an idea as to how you can finally pay me back, as you've been continuously saying." he told her.

"...beyond... going through THIS mission and experience, that is." he clarified.
