Prompt: Revelations
The first thing she does when getting to her cabin is go into the tiny bathroom. Staring at her face over the mirror, Andie Shepard touches a glowing scar. With a mixture of fear and grim determination, she begins to strip off clothing.
She is still female, she notes with faint, amused relief, but her skin… Glowing lines of crisscrossing scars made her look like a badly-made rag doll, like the one she'd had as a child on Mindoir.
She pokes one of her breasts experimentally: these things were probably just for show now. The thought startles her and the memory of Kaidan's face is like a punch to the gut. Desires, buried deep, rise unbidden to the surface in her newly alive mind: a house in a valley and a boy and a girl, both with Kaidan's eyes.
She realizes she's weeping and leans over the sink, hand pressed against her abdomen. She is alive, but she will never create life.
