Her eyes fluttering open, Roll saw only light before her vision focused, and she saw the familiar sight of a repair bay ceiling. It took her a moment to realize that meant that she'd been worked on, but when she did, there was a little time when she was almost amused by that fact. Such a thing was a way to separate her from what had happened to her, almost like it had been a bad nightmare that she'd woken up from.
When she raised her hand though, the sight of longer fingers in what looked like a pink glove reminded her that she had been through what her mind was already shying away from.
