[Maria pauses, thinking for a moment about how hypocritical she was about to sound. Doesn't she oftentimes push herself, despite literally needing to rely on others all the time? Her illness makes it so she can't even run several yards without getting winded, dizzy, and threatening to pass out. She knows all of this - to take it easy and not be reckless - but it's still frustrating knowing she can't just...live like anyone and everyone else. And maybe, just out of petty childishness, petulance, she does things she's not supposed to.
Hell, just being out in the cold right now is going to have some repercussions later. She's definitely going to feel those consequences later.]
...I'm sorry, I shouldn't scold you without knowing the full story, or you yourself. That was my mistake, I apologize. It sounds like you're taking far better care of yourself now, and...oh, um. If you have that gear here with you, or a schematic of it, I could try to maintain it, or develop a substitute prototype for you to use.
