Kaiba walked through the endless corridors of the Multiversal Nexus, his mind preoccupied with the aftermath of the Great Multiversal War. The destruction he had witnessed had left him feeling hollow and defeated, and he wasn't sure if he would ever fully recover from the experience. But he knew that he had to keep moving forward, for the sake of those who had survived the war and the ones who had sacrificed their lives to end it.

As he turned a corner, Kaiba saw two figures standing in front of him. One was a tall, pale-skinned hellhound with long silver hair and a stern expression. The other was a smaller, black-haired demon with a mischievous grin.

"Octavia," Kaiba said, nodding at the smaller demon. "And Loona. What are you two doing here?"

Octavia folded her arms and glared at Kaiba. "We could ask you the same thing, Kaiba. What brings you to the Nexus?"

Kaiba raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Octavia to be so confrontational, but he supposed that she had always been a bit prickly. "I'm here to help with the healing process," he said. "To see if there's anything I can do to assist those who were injured in the war."

Octavia snorted. "Typical Kaiba. Always trying to play the hero."

Loona giggled. "Aw, don't be mean, Octavia. He's just trying to do the right thing."

Kaiba ignored Octavia's comment and turned to Loona. "How are you holding up, Loona? I know that the war must have been difficult for you, especially with your ties to the demon realm."

Loona shrugged. "Eh, it was tough, but I'm a tough cookie. I can handle it."

Kaiba nodded, impressed by Loona's resilience. He wondered if he could learn something from her, if he could find a way to put aside his own pain and focus on helping others.

"Actually," Octavia said, breaking the silence. "There is something you could do to help, Kaiba."

Kaiba raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

Octavia hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "There are a few demons who were injured in the war. They're too proud to ask for help, but they need medical attention. We were hoping that you could use your skills as a doctor to help them."

Kaiba nodded, relieved to have a clear task to focus on. "Of course. Lead the way."
