Gradually showing some progress
It had been about a month since she had been rescued from the enemy. Of those four weeks, she'd spent two weeks in coma and the other two weeks in almost complete silence, rejecting everyone who tried to come near her. She allowed Rei in her room, although her presence was still painful to her. But she would rarely speak and any time Rei touched her, bad memories flooded her mind, sending her in an almost complete panic.
But she hadn't been sitting still. Her current state frustrated her, and although Christel kept telling her to take things easy, Laurian did not listen. During the nights and other moments when no one was around, she'd do little exercises with her right hand. Her left arm was completely useless, but her right arm began to restore gradually and it allowed her to do little things. First, it was nothing more than closing her hand in a tight fist and open it again. Then little movements with her arm, shifting it left and right. And finally the attempts to lift it.
This afternoon as well she was practicing again. It was painful and exhausting, but at least it gave her something to do.
