[saturations]

there has to be a weakness to make them stop

[countermeasures]

If there is, General Lin will find it... he's already started to turn the tides.

[...she makes a face when she says his name, though. dumb man.]

[saturations]

[they notice this.]

not a fan?

[countermeasures]

He's good at commanding an army, but he's bad at a lot of other things.

[she sighs]

He tried to send me home when he found out I was there.

[saturations]

ur a doctor
why tf would he do that?

[countermeasures]

Exactly. That's what I said. Thank you!

[a huff]

He was trying to protect me. As if I'm not capable of protecting myself.

[saturations]

why are so many of u from places where they dont let girls do anything??

[countermeasures]

I wish I knew.

[saturations]

dumb...
ur probably way smarter than him too

[countermeasures]

I am.

[she doesn't sound like she's bragging. she just says this as if it's a simple fact.]

[saturations]

then u should tell him that
and tell him to back off

[riff doesn't know anything about anything.]

1/2

[countermeasures]

I told him he couldn't make me leave!

2/2

[countermeasures]

[a beat. something occurs to her.]

...though, I suppose he didn't have to.

[saturations]

...why do u say that?

[countermeasures]

I'm here now. So I'm away from the battlefield, like he wanted.

[saturations]

...tbf
hes not the one who made u leave
so i wouldnt say he won that battle either

[countermeasures]

I might not have left because of him, but he still got what he wanted.

[she sighs. maybe he didn't win, but she sure as heck didn't win either!]

He probably thinks I just went back to the capital.

[saturations]

...if u went back to the capital
would that be so bad?
u could get help if u did couldnt u?

[countermeasures]

[she shakes her head]

I could do more good treating the victims of the plague and the injured soldiers than I could in the capital. By the time I got there and back, they'd be...

[saturations]

...itd be too late
i get it
then i stand by my original statement

[countermeasures]

...

[she's quiet for a few long moments, and then - ]

...do you think the people I left behind are okay?

[saturations]

[what a question.]

...i think u were doing everything u could to help them before u left
so theyre probably doing ok bc u got them to a better point

[countermeasures]

...I hope you're right.

[saturations]

...best not to focus on that right now
just focus on urself

[countermeasures]

...

[she nods once]
