She picked up and dragged the bag containing her cadet uniform clothes over to the wardrobe, leaving it there for later. She walked back through the room, taking off her yellow hoodie as she went, and dropped it on the bed.

Kira tenderly ran a hand over her right arm, a burning sensation still remained over her skin - only becoming more pronounced as the last lingering effects of adrenaline wore off.<br/><span style="color: #FF80FF">“Ahh - just a sec,”</span>She said, darting out the door and through the open door of the adjacent bathroom. She turned on the cold water in the sink, and with a long sigh of relief, held her hands and forearms under it.
