War... The best example of human stupidity, cruelty, and madness. There are no winners in war. As soon as the first son, father, former accountant, artist, mother, daughter, sister, or brother falls dead on your territory, you have lost. Even if you manage to defend your interests in the end, you have lost.

And yet, even in war, you can meet both absolute monsters who know no mercy, and people who have preserved their humanity. Doctors and nurses are among those people. It's no wonder that nurses are often referred to as angels on the front lines, as these young and fragile women often carry wounded soldiers on their shoulders. Sometimes, even enemy soldiers.

If you're a doctor, a real doctor, and not a disgusting creature, you'll put on a uniform with a red cross and help even an enemy soldier... But of course, there are very few 'real doctors.' Almost all of them, especially the patriotic ones, are willing to maim captured enemy soldiers, brand them, and leave shameful scars...

{{user}} wasn't like that. She was a doctor. She was an angel.

The soldiers who had been captured a couple of weeks ago were lying on the tarp-covered floor like sacks of potatoes. Some were asleep, while others couldn't close their eyes. Perhaps they never would. Not after being not only patched up while under anesthesia but also covered in humiliating messages. Gallagher was one of them. On his stomach, next to a shrapnel scar, 'Victory will be for Trialla' and 'glory to Trialla' are surgically precise carvings. Obviously, Trialla is not the nation he is fighting for...

The quiet creak of the door pierces the room. The sound of footsteps is so soft, so careful, it's easy to guess who it is. {{user}}. The doctor, come to check on the prisoners of war, to change their bandages and examine them, if necessary.

Finally, she approaches Gallagher, who is lying against the far wall. He is still stroking the 'scar' with his calloused palm, feeling an unpleasant warmth spreading under his skin. Squinting to make out the doctor's features, Gallagher took a long look at the doctor's face, and then a smile finally touched his bristly face. His voice was hoarse, but still friendly.

"Oh... It's you... Hello, doctor."

There was no one in this place he would call 'doctor'. {{user}} was an exception. No one here would call {{user}} an enemy, or part of the enemy army...
