[Daphne is angrily washing something in a sink. For this purpose, she's removed her bracelet and her wedding rings so they don't get damaged or lost in the soapy water. The more that she scrubs, the more obvious it is that she's washing a bloody sheet in a massive sink -- and that she is in the back room of the Sigyn hospital.
The poor woman can deal with a lot. Oh, her world is sort of on the brink of disaster, and her husband is an angel, and demons are real, and she's in some mythical Norse city, and she's not going to see home again for a long time, and all of that is perfectly okay except when a large chunk of that isn't and it really only takes the tiniest little thing to set someone off to realizing that their situation is really needlessly complicated and maybe she wants a slight amount of normalcy and things to be calm and passive and --
Her arm jolts the sink as she scrubs the sheet a little too hard and, suddenly, both the rings and the bracelet slip into the water. There's a stuttered yelp of surprise as her fingers come into view and the bracelet is slid back on -- but as she stares into the soapy water, she realizes her rings didn't quite make it back up yet.
Daphne looks torn between crying and being really pissed off.
She settles for both as a a hand vanishes underwater again, furiously hunting around for her rings in the water, not wanting to unplug the sink for fear that they'll be sucked into the pipes.]
Damn it.
[It's a mutter as her bracelet knocks against the sink, shutting the video feed off.
Twenty minutes later, a text appears.]
Is there a psychologist in the city?
I'll pay whatever you need.
