just getting noctis ready for chapter 9

[ After a moment, Genji lowers his sword.

That wild-eyed look of desperation. He knows it well; that doesn't mean it becomes any easier to behold as time goes on. ]


You are kind, but kindness will not save his life.

[ The sword is flicked back into its sheathe, but it's a temporary reprieve. The man hanging half-dead from the kid's shoulder won't last the hour, if that. He trembles with agony too great to be vocalized. Genji has known pain like that. He's known worse. Then, he'd believed the alternative to be preferable, too. ]

He'll bleed dry within the hour if he does not receive medical attention. Resistance resources have been triaged to those more likely to survive. Official hospitals will be watched by Enforcers. You've bandaged him with generous intent, but you've used cloth likely to introduce infection - even if he reaches a hospital, he'll die of painful sepsis.

[ Genji tilts his head, his visor masking the quiet downturn of his expression. This lesson is as difficult to teach as it is to learn. ]

I will do it, if you haven't the stomach for it. But - for his sake - you must decide quickly.
