【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第八章:破碎 Broken(12)

Isarae stripped me to my bodyglove, save for the jammed left arm-piece.
“Brace yourself, Cre’yth,” She said quietly, “I am going to have to pull hard.”
I nodded silently, grit my teeth, and took a hold on the hanging rail that lined the interior of the alcove at my waist. Isarae seized my arm, worked her fingers between the glove and the jammed metal, planted her feet, and yanked.
A strangled cry escaped my lips as the bruised and abused flesh of my arm was beaten by the passing metal, but it was countered by the immense relief of suddenly being able to move my left arm again for the first time in days. It was horribly stiff all the same, and I grimaced as I tried turning it this way and that only for it to respond sluggishly.
“Careful, Cre’yth,” Isarae took my left arm gently in her hands and rang her fingers down the length of my arm. “Your muscles are torn, and you have sprains in your elbow and wrist, try not to move this arm so much until it heals.”
