Vena smiles and nods. "Yeah. Yeah, that's right! We can always beat them. As long as we stand together." She says, grinning and giving her hand a squeeze.

"Speaking of which... They're already trying to work on an air distribution system, last I heard..." Vena murmurs, her thumb rubbing circles over Olivia's hand.
Vena gives her a long look, then laughs. "Oh my... Here I am supposed to be trying to cheer you up, and instead it's proceeding the other way round!" She says, chuckling.
She nods. "Speaking of which, I'll go check on Rasha." She says, getting up to walk off to a different ward.
About ten minutes later, Olivia has another visitor. It's Melina, the kid Croc had adopted. Croc, who didn't make it out alive.
She just pulls up a chair and sits next to the bed, not saying anything.

"My adoptive father is dead after placing his full trust in you, expecting to come out of that mission alive, but instead getting blown to bits. How do you fucking think I feel?" She growls.
"Ah, I kind of figured you would blame me. In fact, I fully accept responsibility for it. If it makes you feel any better I just learned that my mother is dead, my father is working for OT after they fucked with his brain and my brother is likely in the same situation. Not to mention my father is the reason everyone is dead or hospitalized. Not sure why that would make you feel any better, but I got nothing else for you i'm afraid."
She gives her a long look. "Your father's still alive. There's a chance to save him." She says.
[I'm out.]

"You might think so, but your view is that of an outsider. you don't know my relationship with him before this and it certainly didn't get any better because of this. Sure, he isn't really in command any more, but now when i see him I can only remember these horrors he has done under their control. Sure, if freeing him is right in front of me then I will do it... but once this is all said and done... I won't be going to any family get together, that is certain."
"..... Yeah. You're right. Your dad's going through a fate worse than death right now. Sorry..." She mutters.
"Mhm. I got stuff to do. Bye." Melina says, getting up and quickly walking out, rubbing at her eyes.
Vena comes back about a minute later. "Uhm... What was that all about?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at Melina's sudden departure.

"She came in here to blame me for her fathers death... which is fair and true. I shared my side of that story... she realized there are bigger things going on. I probably should have been softer but right now my sympathy gauge is scary low."
"With good reason. You have enough on your plate." She says, patting her head. Then, she reaches up and injects a yellow liquid into the IV. "Just... Something to help with the pain.." She murmurs, her eyes narrowed a bit.
"What what? I'm just watching the plunger. The numbers are fucking tiny!" She grumbles, pulling the needle out before patting her head with a gloved hand. "You'll be fine, Olivia. You're a strong girl." She says before walking away again.
A few minutes later, Vena comes back again. "Say, you want your phone or something? Book? Can I get you anything? Or... You could just... Sleep." Vena says, shrugging.
"Right." She says before leaving and coming back a few minutes later to toss her phone to her.
