@megaerans continued from earlier (DUSA)!
Dusa had reluctantly let Meg leave, even with Ms Nyx there instead. Ms Nyx didnβt seem the type to be a protector like that. Admittedly she didnβt know much about the lady, but still she felt safer with her friend and trained protector here. Yet she of course couldnβt stop Meg from doing her job and Meg seemed concerned enough about an alert to need to go. The custodian was just very aware of why Nyx might be here. Already her hands were shaky.
Predictably, after checking in with how she was, Ms Nyx had stated that they did urgently need more information about what happened. Anything she remembered about her attacker and what they did. Dusa understood why, and so used all of her remaining courage to answer her questions.
By the end of it, her hands were shaking so hard that it took so long to write down the answers, but her throat ached from sobbing too much to speak at all. With some assurances about protection and guards that Dusa could barely hear, Ms Nyx then squeezed her hand and left. After that, it didnβt take more than a few minutes for Dusa to completely shut down. Despite the protection outside, she felt so unsafe. Her body went through cycles of sheer panic and then being unable to breathe and then a break where she became aware of her surroundings again. The cycle happening over and over.
When Meg arrived, the medical machines were going crazy with Dusa no longer hooked up to them. Instead, Dusa was pressed into a far corner of the room trembling and gasping for air, eyes glazed over in another reliving of the memory. Her bruised throat let out aching screams of terror.
