TJ, still drenched head to foot in her own blood, began making her way back up to the school, her feet dragging along the ground as if the school were the absolute last place she wanted to go. As she walked, more bullets worked their way out of her body through her skin, making little clinking noises as they hit stone and brick and, as she entered the building, tile. She wondered vaguely why her assailants had found it necessary to riddle her full of quite so many holes-- probably because she had aptly refused to die. But why had they wanted her dead in the first place?
She put a hand to her head, rubbing her temples as she took the stairs to the dorms, leaving a crimson boot-print on each step. When she reached Riena's room, she knocked heavily and put her face close to the door as she said in a low, tired voice, "Riena? It's TJ... Can I come in? I need a shower or something. I got shot... like, kind of a lot. Please, open the door...."

"Nah, I'm... I'm okay," TJ said. "I think I got almost all the bullets out. I'm a little lightheaded from the blood loss, but I'll be okay in a few minutes." She reached down into the floor of the shower and picked up the last bullet that emerged from her back, turning it over in her fingers and examining it. "I bet Rakata would know what weapon this was fired from.... Riena, who attacked us? And Alex...."
She wasn't sure how it happened, but the next thing she knew she was sitting on the floor of the shower, still fully clothed and stained crimson, hugging her knees with tears streaming down her face. "I woke up face down on his grave," she said, her words coming out between heavy breaths. "I don't know what happened when they came, I just heard shots and then it all went black, and I woke up next to the lake where they buried him, and oh god, I could have helped him, I could have healed him...." She trailed off and buried her head in her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "Riena, I have no idea what happened...."
