She found a scenic patch of flat ground atop the mountain. The grass was soft and comfortable, and lying on it felt wonderful. But Sirin was not here to relax.

Not a single scar remained.
Yet for some reason, she was still unconscious. But that was fine... it would make the experiment more convenient.
