{ broken lungs & rotting hearts } | ridley + annie

Her blue hospital scrubs are baggy on her thin frame. Although her work at Mortuus Medical Center is never pleasing to the eye or the stomach, she's just grateful to be doing something similar to her old job. She was a nurse for years, but her parents were willing to throw all of her hard work away in favor of Hyacinth's occupation.

She stands in the morgue with Ridley, where a corpse lays on the examination table in front of them. They have been tasked with determining cause of death; the woman had died a few days ago in the medical center, and Eirlys was too busy to be bothered with it.

Annie has already cut the woman open — there is a long incision that runs from her chest to her stomach so that she can examine the organs inside. She prefers bones over organs; examining fractures is much less gory than cutting open organs.

She looks up at Ridley, bloody surgical knife in hand, "You ready for this? We're going to have to determine cause of death and write up a report to give to the Peacekeepers at the end of the week."

Annie just hopes that she won't be the one to deliver the report; nothing is worse to her than being in the general vicinity of the District Twelve Peacekeepers.
