"Why are you still here?" he asked as he tried to wipe the blood off his face. "You should have left long ago."

The moment he finished his words, a door appeared behind Alysha as if signaling a way out. Yet she did not hesitate to once again pick up her med kit and approach the bleeding humanoid-monster.
