...I'm the sickly one who always needed help, why is it someone else who gets struck down by illness first?

Don't pull me, Ansel, I'm worried you could pass out on the street at any moment.

Yeah, I'm a better shot with my crossbow now, seeing as I'm stronger and all. Meaning I can support you from a greater distance.

I can grasp the tail of those Arts... Don't worry, Ansel, my infection hasn't worsened. I just feel like I'm understanding it better.

No problem, I'll... move to strike alone. Thanks to Franka's instruction, my swordplay is tougher, and I won't get knocked down so easily.

Yes, Ansel. Rhodes Island's Oripathy research is rather advanced.

But for now, our conclusion is that we can't reverse the progression of the disease. We can only buy some time for our patients, stolen from the hands of death.

Of course, if you aspire to be a surgeon, you may have less direct contact with Oripathy.

But, since you're a doctor, what we do is more or less the same.

We look death in the eye and say: 'Not today.' Over and over again.

...I... didn't have a choice in the first place.

I'll never accept that there are things I can't do or lives I can't save.

'Just not today.'

That's all I can say... as a doctor.
