Who will buy this wonderful morning?

The world was delightful! Sun and birds and bees and people and air! Had the world always been this, delightful? Her Vandenriech uniform - the new one, after the one Sofia had given her was thrown away in apparent disgust - felt so smooth on her skin she could just huddle up and sit in it forever.

A large component of this new feeling of intense joy was probably the fact that Cyrus had managed to heal her entirely, and in doing so remove the need for the Bone Puppet Suit that had been keeping her from exactly what happened in the hospital earlier. Though in doing so it had caused moderate, constant pain and a feeling like her skeleton was itching.

And then it all stopped, and her tactile sensitivity returned after a massive absence. And so there was a small blonde woman dancing through the streets of the city of lights.
