Hero is about to go on a suicide mission. They know theyāre not coming back from this, and Medic knows it too. They fight for ages about it but Hero is adamant. Their mind wonāt be changed. Finally Medic pulls them close.Ā
āItās okay,ā Hero murmurs.Ā āThis is what has to be done.ā
Medic swallows.Ā āNo. This is.āĀ
Hero feels a sharp sting. Their vision blurs, their knees go weak, and Medic drops the syringe to tighten their embrace as they slump against them. Medicās voice echoes around them as consciousness slips from their grasp.
āIām sorry, but Iām going to be selfish this time. I love you too much to let you throw your life away. Itās your turn to be saved.ā
