Fics like An Unexpected Arrival

The whirring of fans filled the darkness. She kept her eyes closed and concentrated solely on what she could hear - sounds slowly distinguishing themselves; the slight bubbling of the cooling liquid, and the faint staticy whisper of the Wired. Lain opened her eyes. She was lying on her bed, her left arm extended out in front of her, beyond it the vague forms of the darkened room. She could feel the forms of her assorted plushies pushing against her back as she stared at her arm. She flexed her muscles, causing her fingers to curl inwards, some strange part of her faintly surprised at the reaction. She let the muscles relax, and then flexed them again, her hand responding identically. Her train of thought seemed confused and fragmented. Why did her body seem so alien? So confining? Lain pushed herself up into a sitting position, her eyes adjusting to the gloom, and she could pick out specific objects in the room. Lain awakens close to the end of the series to something approaching reality. Something is still wrong however.
