And cold air and wetness broke into the warmth surrounding her. Her hand met a barrier and she pushed at it, her fingers flexing to gather her will and direct it at the obstacle--but nothing came, merely a soft crunch as her hand went through the shell even without whatever she had tried to do.
She brought the hand to her eyes and wiped away the damp, clinging substance. There was light from above. The lower half of a shell, big enough to clasp her within, still surrounded her. She looked at her hands: well-kept nails, faint calluses, the fine webbing of age across the skin.

Orca strode back to the table and collected two newborn packs and another towel, the latter of which was promptly dropped on the head of the gangly young thing that had just hatched.

That dream was all they had...? She turned her attention to the other woman's questions, waiting for the answer and adding a few herself.
"I don't understand, why would we be born again? Who decided to do that and why? Are people here just continuously re-born?" That is if what he was saying was even true. But if it wasn't, chances were they wouldn't get the truth from him.
