It was followed by a sharp flexion of her retinal veins causing her vision to blur, and her hands to tremble. She couldn't write anymore.

As Aurora heard her say that, she quickly raised her head, grabbed her pen and began writing.
"I'm.." She had to pause, "I'm fine." She added as she continued to write while her hands still shivered. She wanted to believe it was because of the cold.
