The next thing you know, you're at a cafeteria table. You idly glance down at your shirt to see that it's caked in your own blood. Your head is spinning and trying to think is like trying to think through molasses.
Edward is sitting at the other end of the table. He tries to keep a professional, calm expression but you can see the worry in his eyes.
He slides the flask over to you. You take a sip from it. It helps your headache slightly but hoo, you feel like hot garbage right now.

>MENTAL HEALTH is now at <span class="mu-r">EXHAUSTED</span>
"Uhm. Yeah, I'd just rest there if I was you. I would've taken you to the medbay but they were really busy." He awkwardly clears his throat. "Another robust guy came out of a nearby pipe. Attacked some people, you know how it is."
"You're hanging in there, right, champ?" He flashes an awkward smile. "Well. Someone told me to give you these." He slides over some papers to you. Your eyes narrow as you recognize what they are - SPONSORSHIP papers.
"Some boss lady is coming down here soon, so you better be quick, Vinny."
Right, that ARC higher-up you keep hearing about. <span class="mu-b">You're not really in the best mental or physical state</span> but you can fix that with some sandwiches and smokes.
As for your sponsorships?
