You watched her vanish back into the darkness she had arrived from. She was interesting and you were torn on wanting to know more of her and the story she held inside and simply being grateful to once more be rid of unexpected companionship. You palmed the data strip in your pocket and considered it for another moment. You would not actively seek her, but it could be handy to have such a life line in a worst case scenario. You stepped backwards out of the alleyway, intent on staying to the busier paths for a brief period. At least until you could feel confident in your own strength again.

For now at least you were still free and that was enough.
