[Her hands are slick with blood, and she herself is pale, gaunt in the face with her eyes wide, but those hands do not shake. She always carries a medical kit on her, a habit from the days when she was not alone, and she does not hesitate for a moment to take out a bottle of alcohol and cloth, will not hesitate with the needle and thread either. She has done this too many times.]

What happened? [His voice shakes as he speaks. It's hard for him to think clearly, but he remembers a blow, then a sharpness.] Someone--did this? [It's true, people are cruel...]
Reply
Yes, yes, someone did this. [People were cruel. Senselessly cruel, the world a slaughterhouse, a torturer's well-kept ward.] You will be all right.
[Her tone is sharp and determined. She wipes down his wound with her alcohol soaked cloth, it may sting, but it is nothing compared to how it will be when she begins to stitch him up. Lucie had long since learned to hold still through it. She doubts this boy, wonders how she will restrain him on her own.]

But who? Why?
[He hisses as the alcohol bites, but he lies still for now, fixing his gaze on her face, his expression still unbelieving.]
My friends-- Where are they? I can't hear my friends... [His voice is softer, its volume fading.]
Reply
[She answers him evenly, and she does not react to the pain he shows, no sympathy, no flinching of her own. None of that will help him, but she is still far from rough with him.]
I do not know where your friends are, but we will find them together.
[She is not a doctor, she has never had so much a moment of formal training, but there was a dead woman with a map of scars that traced Anna's experience, from the very first time she had fumbled in stitching closed Lucie's calf to the steady and precise stitches up her back.]
This will hurt. I cannot be gentle, but you must be still.
[She does not begin immediately, looking into the boy's confused face, not reproving but very serious that he must be still.]
Reply
No, I have to find them. [Perhaps because of delirium brought on by shock, he ignores her orders, trying to sit up in spite of the pain.]
Reply
[She rebukes him sharply, reaching out to take him by the shoulders and hold him down.]
You must not, you will lose more blood.
Reply
[He heard what she said about him losing blood, and he knows he's bleeding, but he can't make himself focus on that fact, or the danger it puts him in. I must look out for them.]
Reply
Take this, put it over the wound and hold it tightly. [She pushes it into his hand, before covering it over with her own, pushing to make sure he knows exactly what she means by tightly.] Do not sleep, talk or sing if you must. If I cannot hear you, I will come back, whether I have found them or not.
[Her expression is uncompromising on that point.]
Now, who am I looking for?
Reply
Reshiram is a white dragon--it's large. It should be easy to find. Purrloin is smaller, with pointed ears and purple fur, and Pidove is a gray flying Pokémon. But if you find Reshiram first, it should be able to find the others.
Reply
Anna doesn't know, but she is alert to it now--(She does not think about her own sanity. She knows what needs doing, she can vouch for nothing more.)
She gets up slowly, she will look if it will ease his mind, but she now expects to find nothing.]
All right. Rest here, I will be back.

[N promised to sing for her, and so, when she goes to look, he starts to sing. It's a wordless song, warbling, almost like a bird's singing, though his voice is human. He used to sing with his friends as a child. He tries not to think about his torn skin or the blood, gazing up at the sky overhead, watching the clouds.
He hopes she can find Reshiram. Since he made friends with the legendary Pokémon, they've been inseparable.]
Reply
She goes, begins to look around, looking for anything of danger or not, because she certainly does not expect to find any dragons.
...though when she does she gives a startled squeak, breath rattling through her. She is frozen in surprise for that moment, can do nothing but stare.]
Reply
Where is he? The question isn't spoken aloud, but sounds as a voice in Anna's mind.]
Reply
The voice in her head makes her jump, makes anxiety race inside of her for a moment, but she can still hear the boy singing. He had asked her to look for a dragon.]
He's... he's nearby. He asked me to look for you, before he would be still for treatment.
