[It was hard to predict what was going to happen in Trench from one month to the next. Most of the time Ruby didn't try, she was almost always ready to face a challenge head on. Except this month she found herself without the energy to rise much less go out and protect the people she cared for.
It hit her especially hard because the cold blood that ran through her had merged with the abilities she carried from home. Her aura, the physical manifestation of her soul had been linked to those powers. And for reasons Ruby explain for the life of her- It felt like that very force was being drained from her body. Like she was being pulled out from her own body.
It leaves her bedridden on the worst of days or going about her day like a shadow of herself on the best. The bright and vibrant young woman is hardly there and only manages to come out in spurts.
There's a slow blink when Ange enters the room but hardly a reaction beyond that when Ange first enters the room and approaches. Her head turns slightly in her direction as she feels the touch on her cheek. There's a hint of recognition in her eyes but a hint of struggle too. Like it's taking her a little longer than normal to piece together what the other girl is saying to her.]

Ange? I...
Of course. Anything you say.
