Upon collapsing Rin's recollection of the events that transpired were hazy and scattered. Having been completely unconscious most of the time there wasn't much she could remember at all. If anything it was more so feelings than clear memories. The feeling of Marcus's chest, needles being jabbed into her wound, bright lights, and voices. Despite all these jumbled sensation she never felt alone, although she wasn't directly aware of her friends and lover keeping a watchful eye over her. 

The treatment that the medics had been administering to her were finally taking affect. Her exhaustion and dehydration had allowed the infection to run rampant, so therefore it took some time for the antibiotics and fluids to make any visible improvements. 

Gradually Rin's senses began to rouse her. The sounds of voices and faint gun shots, crying patients, and generator engines roaring. Things around her smelled cleaner, at least more so than they had when she collapsed. "Where am I?" She thought as her eyes slowly fluttered open. 

In an effort to keep his mind occupied Richard had been helping out in any way possible around the compound. Sometimes this meant keeping watch over the perimeter other times it could be simply looking after refugees and soldiers. He did his utmost to never be idle, even limiting himself on sleep to the bare minimum. Stopping to think about what all had happened would only clutter his mind and he needed to he sharp to insure no one else would die, his conscious couldn't handle anymore deaths on his watch. Rin's collapsing was nearly a breaking point for him, he didn't want to loose one of his closest friends. Whenever he had down time he'd sit with her and clean guns and other equipment. 

Despite his efforts to keep busy his mind constantly drifted back to Tess. He didn't know what to do or say to her. However, it was clear to him that he couldn't let her slip away, neither as an individual or a friend. "How do I make it up to her?" He whispered as he laid in his cot. Sleep had eluded him and he grew frustrated with it so he got dressed and went to look for an assignment.
