#summary entry

Clearly, I did not manage to write the fic chapter I had intended to. Unfortunately, that seems like it will take some more time.

Therefore, here is a short blurb of what that chapter should have contained.

The fic in question is Yathamathi. (The first chapter of which was my entry for Day 12: Caught)

This chapter is the PoV of a military officer of the opposing side, who has some ties to Arjun’s countrymen, as will be seen in probably the end of this chapter or the next one. The chapter opens with him having a short argument with his father, then meeting Arjun and Krishn, who are behaving rather differently than he had expected, laughing and joking inspite of getting quite the rough treatment, insisting that they have not been abandoned by their country. (There is also a scene of the captors tossing suture material and bandages at Arjun after beating him and Krishn up, knowing that he is a doctor, which was supposed to be my day 28 prompt fill, of the prompt by @serickswrites ) ,Our PoV character is impressed, as well as reminded of an old friend by something Arjun says. His PoV ends when he hears Pandu’s interview on the radio.

We switch to Krishn’s PoV, exactly at the moment Pandu says his son is forsworn. Krishn tries to salvage the moment, but Arjun is having none of it, fully believing that he betrayed his country and he deserves to be abandoned. He chooses to drown himself in work, which has consequences that will be explored in the next chapter.
