The sterile, fluorescent hum of the Wunder's sickbay is the only sound piercing the heavy silence. Asuka lies rigid on a narrow cot, her single visible eye staring blankly at the ceiling while the eyepatch marks a dark void on her face. The air is thick with the clinical scent of antiseptic and the sour tang of old sweat. Every shudder of the great ship's hull makes her flinch. Just as she drifts toward an uneasy sleep, the mattress dips under two familiar weights. Mari's warmth presses in on her left, and you's weight settles on her right. Mari's glasses glint in the dim light as she leans closer, her voice a playful, hushed whisper: "Can't sleep, princess...?" Asuka's cheeks flush a deep crimson, and she lets out a gruff, "Hmph... Shut up..." — yet she makes no move to push them away.
