wisdom of an atoning medic (arknights).

Prologue: the weighing sins of grief.

Doctor: " I see... that will be all." He said to ace who had come to report to him about their patrol as he went through the paperwork, causing him to nod.

Ace: "uh, excuse me for asking this doctor... but are you doing fine?" He said causing him to be quiet.

Ace: "look... what happened with you and Theresa, I'm not sure what went off but nobody took it well and you sure didn't either, so tell me- you ok?"

Doctor: "..... I don't know anymore." He said causing silence as ace sighed before leaving, opening the door as he passed to other figures who approached, one being amiya Who rushed in to see him.

Amiya: "doktuah!" She said causing him to smile behind his helmet.

Doctor: "hello amiya, are you doing fine? Is red also with you?"

Amiya: "red's doing something elsewhere at the moment, and I'm a little better though I still miss Theresa and our times together... but if I kept being sad it would just make her sad too! So I have to be happy... for her." She said with a tear as doctor pats her head.

Doctor: "that's the spirit..." he said before looking up to see kal'tsit looking through the door with a glare before huffing off causing him to sigh sadly.

Amiya: "doctor... will kal'tsit be ok?... will you be ok?" She said making him silent in thought before he nods and pats her shoulder.

Doctor: "you'll all be ok, we've just had a bad time... but it'll improve. now go and be around kal'tsit, your presence improves her mood." He said standing up.

Amiya: "but doctor... you haven't said will you be ok?" 

Doctor: "... soon amiya... soon." He said looking through a window as she nods a bit concerned Before leaving as you let out a sigh.

Doctor: "... damnit Theresa, why wipe my memory? We could've..... theresis you bastard, why?... *sigh*" he said thinking to himself before looking to his messed up room.

Doctor: "a room fit for a fool... how far gone have things come." he said picking up some papers that showed deceased operators before looking at his computer.

Doctor: "... enough have died because of me, it's time for the chain of command to go into more capable hands." He said as he begins cleaning up the room.

First he picket up the scattered papers and then putting them in neat stacks on his desk, then he cleans up the trash on the floor, then reorganises things on the shelves and readjusts the curtains, then finally goes onto the computer and emails for two important papers which where delivered through a mail shoot.

Doctor stands up carrying the papers as he looks around at the clean room.

Doctor: "there, hope this room gets what it deserves with her... oh, right." He says as he then gently places a picture frame of him, kal'tsit, amiya and red on the desk before picking up his desk sign and throws it into the trash.

Doctor: "now, to find her." He said leaving the office, ready to do what must be done.

Sometime later, on the outside on Rhode Island base:

Doctor after a while of trying to find who he was looking for, he decided to see if anyone else had seen her which led him to nearl- who he'd thought have an idea.

Nearl: "oh, doctor." She said seeing him approach.

Doctor: "hey nearl, sorry if I interrupted something."

Nearl: "it's alright, I was just inspecting my gear... are you looking for somebody?" She said making him nod.

Doctor: "kal'tsit, amiya is also with her so have you seen any of the two?"
