Elara's POV
I stepped closer to the strap table, my eyes scanning the monitors displaying Ravenna's vital signs. The medical readings were erratic, jumping up and down without any logical pattern. I asked her a dozen diagnostic questions, trying to find out where the pain was coming from and why she had coughed up blood, but Ravenna didn't reply. She kept her mouth firmly shut, staring blankly at the opposite wall as if I didn't even exist. I checked her pulse manually, feeling the rapid, thumping heat beneath her skin, but she refused to even look at me.
