"ms nishimura?" your head snaps up at the sound of the nurse’s voice.

"they've finished surgery. the doc-" you want to cut her off, find lara, be near her again, finally, but listening to this nurse might be a better idea. "-y're best, but the wound had been septic for far too long."

wait

"your- ms. croft didn't make it. i'm so sorry."

what?

and maybe the nurse is giving her condolences or maybe she's reciting the alphabet; whatever she's saying, it doesn't matter much at all because you don't hear a word as her voice shrinks to a buzz and you find yourself staring straight forward at nothing in particular, really.
