"At the hospital. Remember? You wandered up." Yelling. Raving. Lia was still kind, however. Perhaps he would be more reasonable now that he had time to settle in. Perhaps she could get more information from him. For that moment, she was only interested in giving him water.
But she was not as hopeful as she had once been. She had seen many young men simply never bounce back. Nothing wrong with them physically but trapped within the confines of their own minds. She didn't want it to happen to this one.
She adjusted the sheet over him where it had shifted when she sat on the edge of the bed. Of course it was impossible not to notice, not to drag the fabric of the sheet over his body as she tidied his bed like it would not immediately be mussed again.
The orderly shut the door. Lia bit her lower lip before a more resolved look was on her features. The light was low, but enough to see by. "Remember? My name is Lia. And what do they call you?"
