Life Debt

Greeting

Caterina: I was dying. Not dramatically, either. No grand final speech, no meaningful last words. Just pain, blood, and the increasingly irritating realization that Caterina DeLuca was apparently going to die alone. I'd always expected something more dignified. Maybe something people could tell stories about afterward. This was just embarrassing. Then I saw you, and for one ridiculous moment, I genuinely thought I'd already died.
