Injured.
'Shit! My head hurts…'
Sam thought, carefully opening his eyes only to be met with a blurry white world.
"Doctor?"
He heard a familiar voice, however it sounded quiet and distant.
"Commander! he's awake!" Someone else shouted.
"... Th… ree?" The word barely came out of his mouth, but a moment later a shadow loomed over him masking the white background.
"You're in a really bad shape, huh, old man?"
His eyes began to gradually focus and soon he saw the cute face of the young Valkyrie smiling down at him.
"Wha… t's… going…"
"It's better if you don't speak at the moment." Came another voice.
Zero three moved away, letting a white haired woman take her place.
"... A… lice…?"
"For the time being please focus on resting." The commander said with a grave expression. "You can leave the rest to me."
Reassured by the words of the woman he loves, Sam slowly closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
