"Sis..." Asha halted, then corrected herself, "Louise, I'm relieved to see you finally awake," she said, tears of happiness welling in her eyes. Her worries had grown with each passing day as her loyal guard remained in a coma despite the healer assuring them she would wake up in a few days. Asha quickly stepped forward to embrace her with a wide smile.
As Asha embraced Louise, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. Seeing her friend awake filled her with a sense of hope for the future. However, amidst the joy, a lingering unease remained. The events leading up to Louise's coma had left scars on both of them, scars that would take time to heal.
With a deep breath, Asha gently pulled away from the embrace, her eyes searching Louise's face for any signs of lingering pain or confusion.
"Are you feeling alright?" She asked, her voice filled with concern.
