[i woke up somewhere else. not in the abandon hive where i'd made camp for the light. i didn't smell the overgrowth when my sense came to me. i was on the ground. just outside the city. i checked myself for injury. nothing. if the drone dragged me out, why the hell was i still alive? and not just alive, unharmed? it couldn't have been the drone, i concluded. it must have been another troll. or a lusus. maybe the empty-nesting lusus who used to live in that hive came back and dragged me out of it.]
