Day 7
Heliopause Colony on Planet Vertumna, Medbay
“Solane... I talked to Dr. Instance. Ugh, I thought she would be glad to hear the news, or at least thank me or something... instead, instead she... she just said to not waste her time with things she already knew. That you’d been like that since you were brought in. But why hadn’t she told me? Why am I being left in the dark? I just want to cry, but I feel like I haven’t got any tears left.
They treat you like a burden, Solane. I’m so... so sorry. She even said that she won’t be able to keep you here for much longer if you don’t improve soon... b-because we only have the one medbed...
Please, let me hug you, Solane...
You’re still as warm as ever. That’s such a relief... And I can feel your body slightly shifting...
Tammy was already taken from me years ago, I won’t let my other best friend be taken from me as well. I won’t let them take you away from me, Solane... I’d rather leave with you than stay alone. Even my parents feel distant to me, my mother in particular just being increasingly dismissive, just saying to hope for the best. It feels so hollow...
I will make sure they see we can do more than hope.”
