[She begins injecting around the wound. It doesn’t sting a bit. It stings a lot.
But after a minute or two, it starts to work, numbing the area significantly.
A glance at the goon.]
I think I’ve got this covered. Thank you.

Yes, yes, I’m a doctor. I can—I need to grab some things. I’ll be right back.
[She points at the other ‘doctor’.]
You. Put pressure on it until I return.
[And she ducks back out, presumably to get supplies.]

So not every anomaly if from you. Good to know.
What does being broken entail? How does that happen?

Well, I must admit I’m tempted… but let’s avoid something that extreme for now.
[Slowly, gently, so the cat can escape if he wants, she scoops him up.]
What gifts have you given? Is Bronev’s apparent immortality a gift?

Never mind. At most I’d be looking to do a couple blood draws, x-rays, and 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 some small biopsies, if you’d allow it.
I’d also appreciate more information about these, gifts you called them? What exactly are you responsible for?

[She sighs wistfully, continuing to pet.]
I don’t suppose you’d be willing to let me run a couple tests, would you? I’m still not a 100% sure you’re even real. Heh.
Nothing too invasive, of course.

I suppose the notion of parallel universes isn’t much stranger than time travel, eh?
Dare I ask what the title of ‘zombie-doctor’ entails? I don’t cause the apocalypse, do I?

It’s alright, it wasn’t too bad. I forgive you.
[Despite her reservations, she extends a hand for the cat to sniff.]
Can you… see into the future? You speak as though I’m going to do something horrible…

But you aren’t on their radar, which means I wouldn’t be beholden to their methods!
I…
I’m not selling myself too well, am I?

Wh-! What was that?? That sounded like..
[She takes a moment to catch her breath.]
Y-yes, in the name of science. But…
Ah, are you referring to what’s happening with Bronev? Unfortunately Targent is forcing me to be less… kind, than I’d prefer.

I don’t 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 that’s true.
The emergence of suffering can be an interesting variable, but it’s not sustainable. Not conducive to cooperation or survival.

[A deep breath. She seems to steel herself.]
𝘈𝘮 I in danger? We’re talking. Most threats don’t strike up a chat.
