Hero is about to go on a suicide mission. They know they’re not coming back from this, and Medic knows it too. They fight for ages about it but Hero is adamant. Their mind won’t be changed. Finally Medic pulls them close.Â
“It’s okay,” Hero murmurs. “This is what has to be done.”
Medic swallows. “No. This is.”Â
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. Medic’s voice echoes around them as consciousness slips from their grasp.
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to be selfish this time. I love you too much to let you throw your life away. It’s your turn to be saved.”
