[The feed starts with Milla sitting on a bed in one of the painfully white and boring unoccupied rooms. And she’s wearing such incredibly dun and bland clothes that it’s painful.

[She smiles, and sits down next to Milla, washing and wrapping the injury without a trace of panic, with the practiced, quick motions of someone who's seen the insides of countless hospitals and emergency rooms. You pick things up, over the years.]

It's people like you that make me think humanity might eventually come to its senses about sex.
Poor Emilia. She's a darling, but she's far too scared of everything. I think she's afraid of me.

Why? it's making me all light headed, that's not "optimal", is it?
[She gives her a little smile]
I'm sorry about all this. it's just really unexpected. I mean, not that you're not, I- um.

It's what happens when you meet someone you're attracted to. It's normal for humans.
