A part of her is fighting to stay calm, not to just start screaming because this is stupid and it isn't fair and she's scared. Going suddenly blind is frightening enough, but what scares her more is what it suggests. People don't suddenly lose their vision out of nowhere. Not if they're real people.
Maybe if they're digital, though, their real bodies frozen and locked away and their consciousness uploaded into VR, all controlled by someone else. The network is gone, everyone behind Airlocked in prison where they belong. She knows that. They'd all come back, woken up in their real bodies in the real world...
But now she's here. Not in Kirkwall, with Varric, where she'd been, but here, wherever this is, with Wash of all people. And he's hearing voices and she's going blind. She fights back the sinking suspicion, the terror threatening to overwhelm her, forcing herself to focus on Wash's words.
"I...yeah. It should be." She nods. Maybe he's right, maybe there's a different explanation. "Go ahead."
