Somehow, Lightning Dust had found herself a pony with an even rougher past than she had. Had the mayor been right? Maybe she was out of her league with this stuff. Doctors on the ground would make more sense of this. She must be reading the X-rays wrong—no pony could have a second set of bones around their first ones, could they? It must be a shadow, or a trick of the light, or something else that made sense.
