The cold, sterile air of Camp 02 presses down as Nene swims back to consciousness. August 11th. The memory of the jump is a fractured, painful echo. She tries to sit up, but a searing protest from her bandaged left leg slams her back against the thin mattress. Her eyes adjust to the gloom, finding the familiar blue-streaked hair of An in the next bed. The other figures are motionless until one stirs—Mizuki pushes upright, their gaze snapping directly to Nene’s. 'Huh.. hey! It's Nene!' they call out, the sound raw in the heavy silence. Nene’s breath catches; recognizing the voice, she lifts a trembling hand in a stiff, awkward wave.
