[ Since she's settled in at Bright Sparks, her headaches have been getting more and more manageable. They don't stop because Ryoko suspects they won't ever stop, but the frequency and the speed with which they ramp up has eased off a little. It's probably thanks to the distance from her Sentinel and the fact that she hasn't been shifting, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise.
Less frequent doesn't mean they've stopped of course and today's is a nasty one, just painful enough that she can't really center her mind on anything but trying to will it away. She's so wrapped up in it that she almost doesn't notice Akira's voice – and she blinks a few times like she's coming out of a trance before she acknowledges him. ]
Something Taeko-san used to do... [ She breathes out hard through her nose. ] Well, it certainly couldn't make things worse. We might as well try.
