After checking their weapons and weapons locker they retreated to their new quarters in the monastery’s dormitory. The team moved their personal gear into their quarters. Sister Helena assembled her cot and spread blankets and a bed roll over the cot. There was a small, abandoned bookshelf and several tables in the room. Sister Helena put her books on the shelf and used one of the tables for a prayer corner. She then set up a hanging rack to hang clothes from as there was no closet in the room.
Sister Helena carefully removed her uniform, treating the process like a sacred ritual rather than a routine. She set aside her jacket, unlaced her boots, and let the tension in her feet ease as she changed into lighter, more comfortable clothing.
