It's the surprise of her life when she blinks her eyes open and finds out she's not dead.

At least, she thinks she might not be dead. She's lying on her back and looking up at a ceiling limned with calm blue light, which makes her think: probably not dead.

On the other hand, she only feels a little sore and tired, instead of like everything in her body is shutting down, so... probably dead? Although if this is the afterlife, it doesn't seem to have a lot going for it yet. "This is weird," she says, or kind of says. Her voice is rusty and her throat is hideously dry, so it comes out a little rough.
