"I couldn't erase the old scar tissue but I am done," Doevm announced.
Elero sat up. "Just like that?" she asked. Doevm nodded. 'I'm fine,' she thought, staring at her own two feet in a daze. She swallowed her saliva. "Are you sure that's everything? Other healers usually said I had to wait before trying my legs out. A minute or two at least."
"I'm not just another healer. It'll be different this time."
Elero's hands clenched: "You think I don't know that?"
Silent stares locked onto her scars. So what if the world watched? Her thundering heartbeat echoed in her head and her head alone. She could get up and hold herself high. She could show them all but first she pulled out a rag from her spatial ring.
