[Much as it pains him to admit it, that's the truth. He's as lost as she is in some ways]
... And you are right. There is no guarantee that anyone will survive, just as we have no guarantees there will not be another death.
[...]
Even still, you must not despair, Ochako. It is alright to grieve, but you will have to have a strong heart to survive -- not just for yourself, but for everyone who might turn to you in times of need. You said that you wanted to be a hero, correct?
[ she says softly, voice small. aizawa-sensei had said something similar, but that was different, too - ochako hadn’t had such a direct hand in the loss of life, then. this is... so much harder to accept. ]
But there has to be something we can do, right? So that if it does happen again, whoever is affected by it will at least be more prepared than we were?
[He isn't going to say they will succeed, as who knows what will happen to those whisked away to another place, perhaps forced to fight on a battlefield.
But it's as he says -- there's no harm in thinking up solutions]
We can prepare little baskets with salves, ointments, and bandages for others to carry with them, for instance.
I cannot speak of the potency -- at best they would alleviate symptoms of pain, perhaps speed up the healing process, make the patients more comfortable -- but it would be better than no supplies at all.
[Chiron really that dad who can make/do/build anything]
Yep, the one with the pointy ears and the funny hair. [ don't just talk about someone like that, ochako. ] He helped me find fresh bandages, after we got back.

But the first aid station’s still locked. I know we can make bandages from the sheets, if we have to, but where would the rest come from? The leaders?

Can I help? I don't know much about first aid, but I can try to learn.

Mm! And then we won't be relying entirely on you and Leveilleur-san to help us all the time, either.

Leveilleur?
[A beat, and then]
Ah yes, the young one with the white hair, correct?

[Listen, Dad approves. The more people who know how to stitch up the shonens in this game, the better]
But you're correct, it wouldn't do to place the burdens on the shoulders of a few. So I will teach you what I know.
[Like, Chiron doesn't mind it, but more hands means more people who will hopefully not die to infection and all]

I’m not the smartest person in my class, but I’ll try my best, Archer-san!

Wisdom comes with time and experience. That you are willing to put in the effort is all I could ever ask for.
