She seems more worried about you

"Aaron!" You hear her yell, as she is tied to the poll; kneeling in a similar pattern as you are.

"He is hurt," she says, turning to Mara; "please, can you help him?"

You want to escape and protect Haruka, to get both of you out of this dangerous situation. You begin to pull on your bindings, the tight bindings not giving way; only humiliating you in your impotence; you are still shivering from the cold water she poured on you.

You feel something jam itself into your chest, the pain knocking the wind out of you. You struggle to breathe; you are unable to breathe in. Your head goes down, your face turning red as you strive to give your body the life-giving air. You see a tanned, barefoot on your chest, right where you were hit.

"Du betta tomo mada," you hear, one of the twins say.

"Mira!" You hear the other one yell.

"Day wehren," you guess Mira argues back.

"Leto, tol us to tori car of da wehren," she argues with her sister.

Finally, you can suck in the air into your lungs, looking up to find Mira there. The sharp intake of breath causes you to cough; at first, it is slight; yet it soon causes you to keel over coughing up a red fluid onto the soil below you; it seems the kick did more damage than you thought. Then it hits you, just how injured you really are; you feel your eye is swollen, your body aches, you have bruises across your body (the ones you can see), and your head is bleeding. Something must have happened to you before you woke up, or maybe more frighting something happened, and you cannot remember it. You watch as Mara finishes binding Haruka to the stake, and turns calmly, walking up to her sister.

"Mira, wat did du fer to da pita?" She asks her twin sister, looking at you.

"Nuri ne to be muskil," she tells her sister, putting on a stern face.

"Mira..." she says, shocked.

"Im asaf," she says, looking at how upset Mara is, "du tori car of da pita."

Mara moves over to you, and begins to by washing her hands; before heading back into the structure, you guess, for something. After your meal you feel reinvigorated, the word seems to become more apparent to you. Around you are dozens of open-air structures, inside most of them are people; does that mean... Most seem to be asleep thankfully; however, some are moving around; most seem to ignore you. In the distance, you hear some children playing. The rain is cold, hitting punishingly on your back, embarrassed you put your head back down. When you feel something press up against your head; pull across; sending a sharp pain emanating from it.

"Du hav sosho" you hear Mara say kindly, "I ne to klen it"

You look up, and Mara has a red cloth she is wiping across your forehead. You winch as she cleans whatever wound you have up there. She seems to focus on that; meanwhile, you catch yourself staring at the girl's chest. Remembering just what happened minutes before with her sister.

She continues to tend to your wounds, wrapping most of your body in what seems to be green bandages; each of them giving off an odorous acrid smell. She wraps these green packages around your head, arms, and body. You guess these are bandages, however when you try to ask she does not respond, except what she said earlier; you think she does not understand you as much as you don't understand her.
