EPISODE TWO - PART FOUR

Cristina
Cristina
Doc! Wake up!
You opened your eyes and saw Cristina looking at you with a worried expression on her face.
Cristina
Cristina
You're having a bad dream again, are you alright?
She then asked with a tone full of concern.
Y/N
Y/N
It's fine. I'm just tired. I had to deal with a lot of patients yesterday, that's why.
You replied, trying to assure her.
Cristina
Cristina
I came in because you're going to be late for work if you don't get up now. I noticed you almost crying in your sleep that's why I decided to wake you up.
You thanked her and got ready. You only had about forty-five hours to get ready, so you fastened your pace.
You sat down with Lincoln for breakfast and bid him goodbye for work. His eyes were still half closed when you left while Cristina was feeding him.
You then rushed to the hospital, that's just a few blocks away from your house.
You checked on some patients before doing rounds.
It was by eleven in the morning that you got to have a quick break which you decided to spend on the hospital's garden.
Y/N
Y/N
Oh? He's the guy from the store.
You mumbled as you saw the guy, sitting down on one of the benches with his crutches on the side.
Now that you got a quick look at him, he seemed to suffer from very bad injuries. His other leg was amputated.
You decided to greet him and just like before, he looked so surprised seeing you.
Y/N
Y/N
Hello, we met again.
You greeted.
Eren
Eren
Oh, h-hey.
It took him a while to respond, but your heart felt happy when he did.
Y/N
Y/N
How are you feeling now? Are you still hurt?
Eren
Eren
N-no, I'm fine. Thank you.
He replied.
Y/N
Y/N
Do you mind if I sit beside you?
You then asked and the guy nodded.
Y/N
Y/N
So how long have you been receiving treatment from the hospital?
You started the conversation, hoping that he'd talk to you.
Eren
Eren
I've been here for quite a while.
He replied.
Y/N
Y/N
Are you getting treatment for your injuries? Who's your doctor?
You then chatted.
Eren
Eren
That and for emotional care. I'm under Doctor Schmidt.
Y/N
Y/N
Emotional care?
Eren
Eren
I lost my memories, I woke up and didn't have any idea of who I was or where I'm even from.
He opened up which surprised you.
You were so surprised by the similarities between the two of you. You know how it feels like to wake up one day, not knowing who you are.
Y/N
Y/N
R-really? Don't worry I know you-
Eren
Eren
What do you know about my struggles?
He cut you off.
You smiled at him and sighed. What you said after surprised him more.
Y/N
Y/N
I lost my memories too, four years ago.
You stated in a little voice. He looked like he was taken aback by what you said.
Eren
Eren
H-How?
You felt like he was intrigued by what you said. It somehow made you happy because you got to have someone to connect with you. As a doctor, it is your top priority to heal everyone, both physically and mentally.
Y/N
Y/N
I don't know if you even know about this event considering that you lost your memories recently but, it wouldn't hurt if I tell you right?
You glanced at him for a while before continuing.
Y/N
Y/N
Four years ago, I was sent to Paradis.
Eren
Eren
P-Paradis? You mean the land of the devils? What were the people there like? Were they as what they've told us?
There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
Y/N
Y/N
I couldn't give a concrete answer on that, Mr...
You trailed off, realizing that you don't even know the name of the patient you're talking to.
Eren
Eren
It's Kruger.
Y/N
Y/N
Alright, Mr. Kruger. I couldn't give you a concrete answer, I lost my memories there. I couldn't judge.
Eren
Eren
What made you say that? We Eldians are treated like shit here because of what our race did to the people of Marley.
You sighed.
Y/N
Y/N
I refuse to believe that all them are bad people, Mr. Kruger. They're just people like us. It's not like all of the people of Marleyan origin are all nice.
Y/N
Y/N
To answer your question on how I lost my memory though, I was sent to Paradis for a rescue mission to the warriors that were sent there to retrieve the Founding Titan.
Y/N
Y/N
War broke there, I lost my husband in the process, and I was gravely injured after. Good thing Reiner was there to save me, he's my husband's brother.
Y/N
Y/N
I got injured badly, but miracles do happen.
You stopped for a while and fetched your pocket, taking a piece of photograph to show Mr. Kruger.
Y/N
Y/N
I was actually pregnant at that time, Lincoln, my son, survived and here he is now.
You showed him the photo and Mr. Kruger held it in his hand, looking at Lincoln. It was a recent photograph taken, the both of you were by the port.
Y/N
Y/N
He's three now.
You can see a slight smile on Mr. Kruger's lips which made you happy.
He mumbled something as he gave the photograph.
Eren
Eren
He takes after his father, huh?
You chuckled and nodded.
Y/N
Y/N
Yeah, Reiner said he looked like his father. He's the only memory I have of my husband now.
Eren
Eren
I hope he grows up and becomes a great man like this dad.
Y/N
Y/N
Yeah, I hope so.
You said almost in a whisper.
You got a glimpse of your watch and saw that your break is almost up. You stood up and bid your goodbye to Mr. Kruger.
Y/N
Y/N
Well, that's it for today. I hope to see you around, Mr. Kruger. My break time is almost up, I still have to help the nurses prepare things. Our dear soldiers will return home today, they need me.
Y/N
Y/N
See you!
You waved him goodbye and he did so.
You kept yourself busy until afternoon, preparing for the arrival of the soldiers from the Mid-East war. A lot of them might be injured, the hospital will be packed again.
Eilene
Eilene
I can't wait to see them, and thank them for their hard work!
Eilene looks so happy, waiting for them alongside some other doctors and nurses at the train station.
You waited patiently and stood straight when the train arrived. Your grip on the bag tightened and as soon as the doors opened, the soldiers went out, greeting everyone.
The whole place was so loud, packed with years of laughter, joy, and loss. Some of them didn't make it, some of them survived.
That's the reality of war. Lives are lost.
People tend to fight for what they believe is right, what they believe is theirs. They fight for themselves, they fight for their people, their interests, they fight for freedom.
They fight for power.
Though, the concept of war for me is not really clear, my duty as a doctor is. That's why I'm here, to help those who are in need.
As soon as the door to the injured soldiers were opened, we hurriedly rushed to take care of them.
Some were treated, some needed dire medical attention while others were just lost cases.
I was assigned to tend to the soldiers who were in dire need of medical attention, some of them even lost their limbs.
Some had huge cuts and were shot, some were still bleeding, some had infections.
Y/N
Y/N
Get me more antibiotics!
You ordered.
It was a mess, everything was a mess.
When you stood up, you caught a glimpse of Reiner, looking at you. Gabbi, Falco, and the others were there too.
Pieck waved at you and you did too while Reiner just smiled. The kids were so happy to see you and so you are.
Y/N
Y/N
I'll tend to them first.
You mouthed at them and continued treating the injured soldiers.
