AI art "Cyberpunk Hana Backstory Part 3" with user description "Am I still sleeping? It's so dark not a dream, no sounds, no light, just darkness and pain. Pain where there shouldn't be, my arms hurt so much.

???: Hana, it's time for you to wake up again.

Who is calling for me? This voice, I've heard it heard it somewhere before. I'm so tired...

???: Hana, wake up!

This time there is more emphasis in the voice, and force me to open my eyes, even if it is difficult.

Nurse: Good morning sleepyhead, nice to have you awake again. You slept through 2 days, how are you?
Hana: Not very well.
Nurse: Yes, I see that, you fell asleep with wet hair, that doesn't look good. Come on, sit up, I'll take care of it. Oh yes, I haven't introduced myself to you yet, my name is Akiko.

She stands in front of my bed and smiles at me as she takes a comb from the bedside table. Something in her compassionate tone makes me realize that she won't allow any contradiction. I force myself to get up and sit down on the chair she points to. Akiko wasn't that the name nurse with whom the doctor said I should talk about my trauma? My arms, they hurt again, how can that be?

Akiko: Slow down, your body is still very weak, please sit down.

Slowly she starts to comb my hair and untangle it again.

Akiko: You know, when I heard your scream the day before yesterday, I was afraid that you could do something to yourself. I'm just glad that wasn't the case.

She skillfully ties my hair into braids.

Akiko: Done! Tell me, how do you get along with your prostheses?
Hana: Not so good... I know that may sound strange now and know that it can't be, but...
Akiko: They hurt, don't they?

I'm confused how can she... She comes out from behind my back and goes to bedside table, she puts the comb down. I only now notice that she no longer has real arms, she has the same prostheses as me.

Akiko: I can tell from your facial expression that you noticed them. It's called phantom pain Hana, your body hasn't realized that your arms are no longer there. It will get better with time. I'll give you a painkiller that will help you.
She takes a syringe and begins to draw up the painkiller. Somehow she seems to be very insecure and suddenly seems very pale.

Hana: Is there something wrong with Akiko?
Akiko: I... I don't like injections... neither when I get one myself, nor when I have to give it to a patient.
Hana: Are you serious?

It bursts out of me and she notices for herself how absurd it is. She takes all her courage and gives me the injection.

Akiko: I know you have a lot of questions, but let's take it slow. Try to recover a bit until the painkillers work, and only someone with a strong will could smile again now. I'll check on you again later, Hana.

She gives me a smile, turns around and leaves the room. I smiled? I didn't notice that at all."
