When Feldt woke up, it took her a few seconds to get her bearings. The fact that there was gravity was definitely something that threw her off a bit at first. The last few things she remembered, she was still in space. She didn't have any recollection of coming back down to Earth, or, at least, getting to a place where gravity actually existed. Christina and Lichty had both died, and she hadn't had any time to properly grieve for their deaths. She had to get right back to work, considering that they were still in the middle of battle at the time it had happened. It just didn't seem completely real that they were gone, though. Feldt almost expected to hear Christina's voice, talking about how quiet everything was at the moment, and how it was really awkward when it was that quiet.

Once Feldt's initial disorientation faded a bit, and after she managed to get used to gravity again, she sat up and brushed her long pink bangs out of her eyes. She was finally taking in her new surroundings, and... it looked a lot like a hospital. Why was she in a hospital? Nothing really hurt, and as far as she knew, she was completely fine. She didn't feel like she had any injuries either, although... if she had, maybe there was a possibility that they had been taken care of already. Maybe something had happened in the middle of battle... which could be why she didn't even remember finishing the battle in the first place. Either way, it looked like she was in a hospital, and she didn't know why. There wasn't even anything in the room that gave her any information on the place.

Of course, she didn't need to wait too long. A nurse walked in, smiling at Feldt cheerfully. "You're awake! I was beginning to wonder when you were going to wake up, dear. I hope you slept well."

Feldt nodded. Maybe this nurse would be able to answer her questions. She seemed friendly enough, so... it couldn't hurt to at least ask. "... Where are we?" That was a good enough first question.

"We're at Landel's Institute!" The nurse said, still smiling. "You had such a long trip here. I'm not surprised you're confused, Anna. But don't worry, we're going to make sure you get better!"

An institute? So... it wasn't exactly a hospital, then. Either way, Feldt still didn't know what was going on, and she didn't think that Celestial Being would send her here without telling her. What had happened between the battle and now? Feldt couldn't remember, no matter how hard she tried. And why was this nurse calling her Anna? She never went by that name before. But before she could even start to say that she wasn't named Anna, the nurse started pulling her off of the bed.

"How about we get you out so that you can start making some new friends, Anna? How does the Sun Room sound?" She asked, before she started pushing Feldt out of the room.

Well... maybe exploring the place would be a good idea anyway, so that she could know more about it. And maybe she'd be able to find out more information about why, exactly, she was there in the first place.
