And never had she been more grateful for a seabound curse; fins had always done her wrong under this day. As the weight upon her shoulders is relieved, the adrenaline in her body catapults her forward, embracing that she was now the only of them who could caress her skin.

Reley doesn't wear a smile as though the other's wounds were a personal victory. Only her pupils dilate, watching as each afflicted injury found itself anew, revitalized and masked.
