“Are you okay, Arthur?” Sylvie asked, concern laced in her voice as she stayed by my side

I continued to stare at my mother Her white uniform was stained with blotches of red and brown and her face was grimy with dirt, blood spatters and sweat, but she looked so… adained consciousness, and while his face was knotted in pain, he reached up tohand on her ar on around us, I heard his words clearly

While shedding tears of pain and whatever , he s his life

“Oof! Sir, you’re blocking the passage Unless you’re critically injured, please—” The nurse that had bumped into me stopped mid-sentence and scanned ”

“No I’s cover et out of the way”

I walked back out of the tent to gather myself

Sylvie stood by me, tears welled up in her eyes as well froht—they were both right,” I breathed, looking up at the starry night I could still hear the angry shouts from my father as he called me hypocritical and as the two of them tried to explain that I wasn’t the only one that could contribute to this war

<hr>

“It’s good that you’ve realized,” Sylvie answered

I turned toher as she looked up at the sky as well “So you thought so too? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Sylvie looked me in the eye and shot me a smirk “I’ve been connected to you since I was born, Arthur I know by no stubborn and so of your loved ones Would you have listened to my words if I had told you back then? Or would you have played the ‘I’ve lived two lives’ card and say you know best?”

I opened ue—but no words came out

Sylvie’s smirk disappeared, replaced by a soe isn’t alisdo that slowly”

I shook ant, hypocritical idiot”

My bond leaned her head againstfro emotions radiated into me as she spoke “Yes, but you’re our idiot”

We spent anothera s at us, before going back into the tent

“Arthur?” My mother’s voice was a mixture of confusion and worry

I held up a hand, “Hi, Moreeted her as well

She flashed a s back on the task at hand “Arthur, handthe bloody pliers in aup, she snatched the tool and used it to carefully set the snapped rib bone jutting out of the patient’s side back in place The patient—different fro scream

Unfazed by the howls of pain, she continued her spell, and I could slowly see the exposed bone ether I realized that she had narrowed her spell to only release froers

Minutes slowly passed as both Sylvie and I watched, entranced, at

Despite the trauma that had haunted her all these years, I couldn’t see any traces of hesitation now as she worked tirelessly on these patients

It was only after she had finished that she shi+fted her attention to us “Sorry, Arthur There are just so many soldiers that need o off, it’ll be easier for our Rey, Durden and the rest of the soldiers out there”

“Wait, So Dad and Durden are both out there right now, fighting?” I asked, a bit of panic rising inthem towards the Wall,” she answered, confused “Wasn’t that the plan? Bury the beast horde by sacrificing the underground passages?”

No one had told her It made sense—medics didn’t need thetheir job If anything, having theht hinder their focus

“What about Helen? Didn’t she visit you?”

“Mh to keep it up”

Helen hadn’t told her either, most likely due to the same reason that nobody else had told her It was better if she didn’t know—there was nothing she could do about it anyway

“What’s going on, Arthur?” Her liquid brown eyes peered intofor an answer It was the saave our fa fro she could do about it, but she still had the right to know

“The troops are a lot farther away than planned and there hasn’t been any signs of our soldiers backing down”

“What? That can’t be right” My mother’s brows furrowed “What about all of those explosives placed throughout the underground passages?”

I shook ainst the plan and switched back to their original strategy”

My ht her in tiround but whether it was froic to treat the soldiers or because of the news, she suddenly looked ten years older

“Don’t worry, Mo as I could

No response

“I’o out there I’ht now I’ll et her back up on her feet “I promise”
