[After being dragged to the hospital by Samus after a run-in with one very angry dragon, Blacky slept for days and only late Thursday afternoon did she finally wake up.

About four days, I think. [donuuuutsss] How are you feeling?

...Four?! [Groans and turns her head a bit to stare longingly at the donut box.] I'm in terrible pain, to be honest.
