[ . . . . . it means living with a lot of pain, does it? soo-won seems to let those words rattle in his head for a moment, before a sense of understanding and compassion settles in his chest. well, it's not as though he can deny that.]
.... then I think it's only a testament then to your kind heart. I'm afraid that what you did... it was the correct choice, given the situation - else you and Archer could've been harmed worse.
So I'm relieved you made that choice.
If only so that you could continue to help more people - because I'm also certain that you will. There are people who need you, and your steps forward will only bring you closer to saving them.
[ it's hard not to think about how it could have been avoided. would they have been healed anyway, if ochako hadn't used those serums? was all of that - the fights, the revivals, the killing - could it have been avoided? was it all for nothing?
none of them have answers for those questions. still, they continue to echo in the back of her mind. ]
I'm just glad that it wasn't permanent. You and Xie Lian-san... you've both helped everyone here so much already. It'd be a lot harder without you.
[wishing doesn't get you very far he thinks - but it's just a sign of her kind heart, isn't it? still, he just offers a gentle smile at that.]
Mm.... it's always difficult to lose anyone here. But I'm still happy that I'm here, and I'm glad that you and Archer did your best to help us through everything.
I only wish that there was a way to heal your injuries as well. Are you doing alright?
Everyone's been helping me take care of all the injuries well, so it's just waiting for it to heal now. [ . . . ] Kind of makes me miss having Recovery Girl nearby, though.
[he tilts his head a little bit at that - before he smiles easily]
Mm, I am. I've taken to reading and learning medical practices so that I can look after myself and not add to Archer's load. It's almost been a bit fun?
The school nurse. Her quirk lets her heal just about anything in no time at all.
[ she smiles back, not perfectly at ease, but... better, maybe. ]
I know what you mean. I asked Archer-san to teach me, so I could help him if more people get injured, too. We could use more people that know those things.
