Sharah had been on her rounds, but had gone to check on Mika several times. If she was asleep, Sharah was careful to not wake her. Another time Sean had been with her. That afternoon, she had to intrude and do her doctor thing. The door slid open and she stepped in. She walked over to the bed and sat on the stool beside it. “Hi Mika.”

Séan was off working and Hannah was sitting with her instead. Mika smiled. “Sharah. Is everything okay?” She asked.

Sharah smiled at Hannah. They weren’t really close outside of duty, but Sharah really liked her. She nodded her head at Mika. “Everything is fine. I just came to see how you are feeling, physically.”

“I’m fine.” Mika forced a little smile, but Sharah could feel it was fake. Mika was scared and confused and sad. But she wasn’t in pain. “You always do a good job, Sharah.” Her normal cheeriness was gone, replaced by somber… meh-ness.

Hannah gripped Mika’s hand, rubbing her thumb over the back. She gave Sharah a concerned look.

Mika squeezed her hand and used her free hand to do something Hannah had taught her while she was here: sign a reassurance. I’m okay.

Sharah could affect people’s mood to a point. Okay, beyond that really, but she didn’t like doing it. It wouldn’t help Mika deal with the trauma though. “I learned from the best.” She took Mika’s other hand, “but there are wounds I can’t heal. You need to see a trauma counselor, Mika. Soon. You know it’s important.”

Mika smiled, but there was no happiness in it. Her smile faded and she hesitated for a moment. “I… I know I should. But… Who? I can’t see Séan. Korczak’s schedule is too full. He has no space for a new patient.”
