HALCYON

Hal smirked under Ash's comments. At least his instincts weren't too far off. He shrugged. After all, it didn't really matter. It was just nice to not feel judged by someone. Until she pointed out his scar. He growled. "Yeah, what of it?" He spat out. To be honest, he didn't even remember how he got the damned thing. Another one of his black out spells. He woke up one morning, in a haze as usual. His pillow was bloody. His face was wet, everything was blurry. He had to call a buddy to come stitch him up. Just ended up having to go to a hospital.

Down here, in the scrappers, hospitals didn't do much of anything. Maybe up in the Utopian city, he would've had his eye saved. Or maybe turned into a robot eye. But instead, he was given a psychiatric hold and a bad scar. His mum always told him that he sleepwalked. So he just assumed it was happening again.
