[at first there is only a sharp wheeze of pain, and then-]

-gotta....gotta make this quick, I think that stuff they gave me is wearing off....ah, dammit, it hurts-

I-I heard that th' hazmats from Westport are back....stay away from 'em, you guys, wh-whatever it takes. They'll kill you without thinkin' 'bout it, and they can. Easily, so easy...

Ah--

Wriggle, what's wrong?!

[glowbrighter]

L-Look, could you get to the hospital? I know it's dangerous with th' hazmats around b-but....th' phones are....

[she trails off; please understand, Maka.]

[angelic_meister]

I'll be there.

[She opts to leave her scythe at home in exchange for carrying some knives inconspicuously in her jacket; she runs all the way to the hospital, ignoring the hazmats.]

[Wriggle is lying in a hospital bed at the end of the ward in room [NUMBER], staring up at the ceiling with glassy eyes. Her legs are quite obviously broken.]

.....................

Wriggle?

[glowbrighter]

H-Hey, Cirno.

[frogsicles]

W-What's going on?

[glowbrighter]

I'm not...doin' too well. What about you? Y-Y'stayin' away from th' hazmats, right?

[wolf_faerie]

Wriggle...

[She doesn't sound so good.]

[glowbrighter]

[her voice gets stronger, just for a minute]

Hey, Aisling, you holding up okay?

[wolf_faerie]

Yes, but what about you? You sound worse than when I talked to you before...

[glowbrighter]

[and the strength is gone]

It...it hurts a lot, but I'm tryin' not to think about it.

[stardust_legacy]

... You're afraid.

Believe it or not, that's good.

[glowbrighter]

Yeah.....y-yeah, I'm scared. Scared t'death of those damn hazmats....

[stardust_legacy]

Fear... is the reason good people fight. You don't want to be hurt. You don't want the people you love to be hurt. You can't lose them... so you use your fear as a weapon.

Be afraid. And fight back.

[glowbrighter]

I'm...I'm fightin' back, trust me. Even with broken legs I'm-

[a weak little laugh]

I'd tell ya how if I could trust th' phones...

[sonic_enforcer]

Wriggle, what's wrong?

[glowbrighter]

...I got hurt, Miss Fate, that's all.

[sonic_enforcer]

Do you have someone tending to you?

[glowbrighter]

I'm in th' hospital. Do drones count?
