Broken, helpless, she had to trust an alien doctor to give her back her body and mind—a doctor who had never seen a human before!
She awoke, and didn't even wonder where she was.
First there were feelings—a feeling of existence, a sense of still being alive when she should be dead, an awareness of pain that made her body its playground.
After that, there came a thought. It was a simple thought, and her mind blurted it out before she could stop it: Oh, God, now I won't even be plain any more. I'll be ugly.
The thought sent a wave of panic coursing through her, but she was too tired to experience any emotion for long, and she soon drowsed off.
Later, the second time she awoke, she wondered where she was.
