“Kallie?” Lydia pokes her head into the bedroom where @KalineBillington has been staying and has been cared for by a team of royal doctors. “Are you awake?”
It’s been a rough few months; Kaline’s condition has significantly deteriorated and the cyborg now needs round-the-clock care.
@PrincessLydia Kaline can hardly see and is unable to leave her bed, and she has almost lost her voice. Her implants leave her exterior almost untouched, but her head has started to atrophy.
While hanging to the wrist of a nurse, the caretaker leans over to tell the Countess that the Duchess is here. After an 'okay', the nurse gestures at Lydia to come over.
"Make sure to speak clearly and near her, your Highness. The Countess can hardly hear us from a distance."
@PrincessLydia Kaline cannot even look at her wife through the pain, and her eyes stay shut as her hoarse voice scratches through Lydia's ears.
"Tell her to speed up.
I love you a lot, Lydia. I'll never forget that."
Duchess Lydia of Maryland
Kaline, Countess of Arcadia
