A woman with a severe bob of black hair approached her. Her face was a mask of… something… Evelyn couldn't quite place it. She extended a hand, revealing a medical tag. “I… I think we understand.”

Evelyn wanted to flee. She felt… raw. She took the woman's hand, feeling the tremors in her touch. And felt, for the first time in a while, a glimmer of… acceptance.
