Viktor hurried to Fjalda's side, letting out a powerful sigh as she opened her eyes slowly, groaning. "You're bleeding," Fjalda said when he turned back toward her. "It's nothing," he shrugged. "What about you? You're all bruises."
"Stop worrying about me and check on the others," she snapped, though a smile crept over her face before she turned and hurried to Eliza, smoothing back her hair and whispering, while Viktor surveyed the scene, his eyes tightening as they fell upon three more prone forms and one, still alive but merely rolling back and forth from time to time.

"Who were those people? And why would they do this? We haven't done anything to anyone." She's about to break down. Fjalda of all people.
