"Did you really think I got out of my burning home completely unscathed?" Alice says quietly. "I was incredibly lucky -- the doctors said my burns healed remarkably, and I was fortunate not to receive any lasting scars on my face and hands. But the flames did leave their mark." She looks away from him, not wanting to see his expression. "There's some smaller ones on my lower back, and a couple on my legs. This is arguably the worst." A souvenir of running into a doorframe during her mad escape, if she recalls correctly. She shudders, wondering what Victor thinks, and a little afraid to find out.
