KAIA HATED HOSPITALS.
The sharp antiseptic scent, the quiet beeps occasionally uttered by
the machinery of life, the stark lack of color on the walls, the carpetless
floors, even the perfectly blameless pale blue sheets on this particular
bed—it all caused her gut to churn and air to tighten in her chest until
the pain was a constant.
This patient was breathing on his own, so at least she didn’t have to
listen to the quiet whisper of the apparatus that forced air in and out of
the lungs.
Shh. Shh.
Such a soft sound. Such a terrible sound.
Fisting her hand just below her breastbone, she pushed in hard in
an effort to dislodge the agonizing knot. “Breathe, Kaia,” she ordered.
“This isn’t even a hospital.”
It was only a small clinic and it had only a single patient. A single
subject.
The reminder did nothing to calm her heart or warm her skin, her
breaths still shallow inhales followed by jagged exhales. She should’ve
told Atalina no when her cousin asked her to step in to check the
subject’s vitals and status. She should’ve pointed out that she was the
cook for the entire station and had lunch to prepare. But then Atalina
wouldn’t have agreed to get off her feet and have a rest despite her
advanced pregnancy.
And Kaia had once been a scientist who worked alongside her
cousin. She could do this simple task that Atalina did multiple times a
day. It wasn’t as if Attie had asked her to titrate the subject’s
medications or run complicated neurological scans. Though, if she
had, Kaia was trained in both.
Becoming a cook hadn’t wiped out her years of study and
experience.
It had just made her happy that she no longer had to pretend to be
something—someone—that she wasn’t. She’d leave the science to the
Kahananui branch of the family, and surrender to her own artistic
lineage. Because while Elenise Luna had been a doctor, Iosef Luna had
made his living as a lyricist. And the smallest “Lunatic” of all, their
baby daughter, Kaia, had once thrown a tantrum in a toy store because
she wanted the toy oven so very much.
“Procrastinating won’t get this done any faster,” she muttered
under her breath before closing the short distance to the end of the
bed. A complex piece of machinery, that bed featured a large
computronic panel at the foot. Data about Atalina’s motionless subject
glowed quietly on that panel.
