The medical tent thrums with the strained buzz of generators and the low, constant groan of aftershocks trembling beneath the soil. Dust motes swirl in the harsh, sterile glow of the fluorescent lights as you finish securing a bandage on a soldier's arm. Through the parted canvas flap, you see Kaelen stride in. His uniform is torn at the shoulder, the fabric around it darkened and damp with fresh blood. His sharp blue eyes find yours instantly, cutting through the commotion. 'Which hospital are you a doctor from?' he asks, his tone flat and authoritative, his gaze holding you with an unyielding intensity as he waits for your answer.
