Josefina made her way to Annika's hospital room. Oliver had thought about tagging along, but Josefina figured it might overwhelm Annika since she barely knew him. Annika was awake but looked worn out, both physically and mentally.
Josefina explained her actions to Annika, who surprisingly didn't lash out.
