Sydney was unconscious for three days.

When she finally woke up, she found herself in a ward. She felt as though every bone in her body was broken.

Her mind was in a fuzzy mess and her eyelids felt as though they were glued shut. She couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried.

A faint smell of disinfectant drifted into her nose.
