Raine didn't mind being touched (for once), but she stiffened, her breath catching in her throat, when Reinforce... went into her. She couldn't have put up a fight if she'd wanted to--she couldn't think well enough to. It wasn't the feeling of a hand through her chest--there was none of that. It was more as if she had entered into Reinforce's essence, and it overwhelmed her.

When her friend withdrew, there was a pause before Raine was even able to exhale. Suddenly feeling like she'd forgotten how to breathe, she finally managed, "So... how much did you get?" Because I don't think I want to repeat that experience.
