"...anything will help." Nate told her.

"I can't stand to see her like this." he said.

"She seems... almost... well... hollow." he told her.

"Incomplete. Like... a... puppet." he lamented further.

"...and I can't help her." he said further.

"I want to. So desperately. But I can't."

When she said that, she saw the sheer sadness and despondence in Nate's eyes.

"...I..." he stammered.

"I... no..." he whispered.

"There has to be SOMETHING..." he mumbled. "We have to be able to do something..." he went on.

"...isn't there...?" he asked quietly.

"Is there ANYONE that can do ANYTHING?"

Nate was silent for a moment as he looked at her, and then sighed.

"It's... it's the new patient." he told her.

"She won't... I mean, she... it's like..." he mumbled, and then shook his head.

"It's like she's waiting for orders." he said.

"And I mean that. Orders." he continued.

"She's not responding to requests for information. She asked me what I wished of her."

His eyes widened a little when she said that.

"I... uh... right." he muttered.

"Just... just stay there and don't overexert yourself." he told her, before leaving the room.

"Oh man..." he mumbled.

"This... I can't... how...?" he muttered to himself not seeming to care if anyone heard him, if anyone was around.

"What do I do here...."

"....." Nate was silent as he heard that.

He did not know what to make of her wording. Her tone.

He'd seen shy and subdued before, but this was full-blown submission.

"I... uh..." he stammered.

"Just... try and rest and recuperate." he told her.

"And can I get your name?" he asked.

The one that had come in was Nate, and he smiled a little when he saw her.

"Oh, hello." he greeted her.

"Awake, I see." he commented.

"Sooner than expected, but that's good." he went on.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, dismissing her potentially submissive behaviour as still feeling not-so-good.

"I need an assistant for this." Nate responded.

"A nurse, I suppose." he said further.

"We're down Dr. Edwards, and everyone else is busy, so just be on hand to get me whatever I need. Please." he told her.

"Gonna take a bit to bring her back from the brink." he sighed.

"It's where she's at now."

Ty saw her off and looked at the guard.

"I'll tell Sharp." he told her.

Aedan then went to the medwing, and Nate greeted her.

"Oh wow, what happened?" he asked.

"I don't know who she is, but she needs help now." he said.

"Yes." Ty responded.

"Let's go." he said.

The three then disappeared where they were and appeared in the security area.

"Izzy." Ty said to the guard, stepping out of the room.

"Got someone that needs the medwing, so how about the express check-in, huh?" he asked.

"Yes." Ty responded.

"Nobody else here." he said.

"She clearly doesn't belong here." he said further.

"Looks distressed and like she's been through something traumatic." he went on.

"Hard pressed to think there's anyone else here that we're looking for."

Hal didn't say anything, and just collapsed to his knees.

"...tired." he said.

Ty looked over towards Aedan, and started to follow.

"What!" he called back, before noticing the colour.

"Holy crap!"] he exclaimed, picking up the pace.

Hal looked at her for a moment.

"Let's see." he said.

"Whatever's going to happen, my full mana strength is going to be used for it." he told her.

He then raised his hand up high... put his fingers together...

...and snapped them.

He snapped them and waited to see if anything would change. Or if Terra could tell if things had stopped actively being messed with.

"...." Hal was silent for a moment, pondering it.

"That's... a very good question." he said.

"I don't think I've ever tried it before in my life, surprisingly." he admitted.

"...I MIGHT be able to, though." he went on.

"Depends on just how potent and strong this mana is."

"I see." Hal responded.

"We just need to know how to stop it." he said.

"It's literally one individual that actually does not know what she's doing." he went on.

"We need to find a way to stop that mana from essentially acting all on its own."
