"Just guide me."

He does.

There is a little screen put between the two of them and the surgery itself. Mostly for the germs, but it does provide a teensy bit of privacy, too.

And it is objectively fascinating to see what kind of horrible destruction has been done to this man's shinbones! And his feet! And his knees!

... But they're absolutely going to put them back together. Piece by piece.

At this point Woo-young realises he hasn't seen Flywheel in... a while. 

He looks around. "Hey uh can someone check on Flywheel?" he asks the room. "She has a psych backlash of some sort and I'm not sure if she's okay."

"—ah shit hyung I can't believe we didn't—"

Elsewhere and earlier:

"Hey, you okay? Need anything?"

She stares at him for a while with her brow furrowed, like she's trying to work through a trick question.

"I'm backlashed," she says eventually.

Oh she does not look to be in a good way. Well, nobody else is handling this, so now Sean is handling it.

"Who should I call about that?"

"Willo-" (nope! She's dead! Try again, fuckass!)

"Traceless?" (she's supposed to try and be helpful.) "I could text him?"

"Sounds like a good idea?"

He should not ask what her backlash is. That's private. If he knew what it was he could be so much more confident in not fucking up this interaction, but that's just too bad for him.

That's a "yes". She texts Traceless.

Shift over. Backlashed - 5? 

On the medical barge.

Tae-hwan's legs broke. Baek Ji-woo is tending to him, Woo-young is helping him with backlash.

She looks back up at the boy.

...he's just gonna... make sure he's nearby until her partner(?) shows up. He's not sure what's wrong, or what if anything he can do about it, but the vibes are off.

Are you injured?

No.

I'm going to send you a car

An OTTO! MOBILE is en route to your location! Your OTTO! is GREEN with a WHITE stripe. 774-JNO.

You good to catch that back to the silo?

Your OTTO! has encountered a problem. REBOOK REFUND

on second thought I will drive there myself. 10m.

Your OTTO! has been refunded. Hope you get where you're going!

👍

"Traceless is coming here," she tells Sean.

"Cool. Need anything in the meantime? Water? Snacks? Directions to the bathroom?"

(lol why is he asking her he doesn't know her backlash! obviously! Which is a good thing!!)

"...is Tae-hwan okay?", she asks quietly.

He glances in the direction of the surgery. "The guy with the legs? Pretty sure he'll be fine," he says confidently. "That lady's a miracle worker, and she's working more miracles than usual today. Plus there's the recovery circle for afterward."

She knows who Baek Ji-woo is, yes.

...but, wait. "Healing circle?"

"This guy, his power makes you super strong and heals you. So he was working search and rescue with a team of guys he could buff up to help him lift rocks off people, and now that they've got the barge set up he's been lying in the middle of a big circle and using his power on everybody in range, and if you're in there you gotta be pretty careful with the super strength but people have been getting up and walking off all kinds of crazy stuff after a few hours with him."

(Huh, she's neve - no, she has, she's just an idiot.) "Aumento is here?"
