[So the past few days in the Bastion have been very hectic and a little more than emotionally stressful for everyone. About two days have come and gone since the last very large batch of arrivals have come in to the Bastion, and thankfully since then it's been relatively quiet. It's a good time to compress, meet some new people and maybe have some good food at the distillery courtesy of Rin.]

[Stein quirks a brow as the girl abruptly gets up and runs away, confused by her sudden response. (He knows he’s not the most approachable guy, given the screw protruding through his temples and all, but she seemed to take to him pretty well before…. ) However, he doesn’t have time to analyze it before he’s completely and wholly overwhelmed by pain. Not of the physical variety itself, but rather, sorrow so strong, so overbearing and all-consuming that it elicits a physical response. It crashes upon him like a tidal wave, stealing his breath and making him instinctively clutch at his chest, his jade eyes wide behind thin lenses.

So much pain... her pain? How..? Is she a witch? No, that isn’t possible; he would have known by now. His keen senses hadn’t dulled that much since arriving here. This wasn’t some sort of resonation attempt, either; he can’t feel her soul wavelength. Frankly, he can’t feel much of anything – can’t form rational thought for all the emotion coursing through him. His stomach knots, muscles in his arms and legs starting to quiver uncontrollably, and then...

...silence.

The scientist gasps for air, as though just released from a chokehold. Immediately, he’s on his feet and searching for her. Not far away, he sees she’s fallen and is already lightly trotting to her side.]

Anna..?

[That’s her name. He knows it now. Checking for signs of physical injury and finding none, he gently jostles her.]

Anna!

[ There might be a bruise here or there, and slightly scrapped knees from when she fell.

But she's unconscious. There doesn't really seem to be any cause for it, but Stein can probably put two and two together. That loss and sorrow had been her, and it had overwhelmed her as easily as it had caused that physical reaction from him.

If he hangs around for long enough, someone who seems to know her will be there to try to take her to the hospital. ]
