Treatment

Koch was looking at his comatosed brother, Wesson decided to repay what Koch did back when she was crying at the scouting mission 2 days ago.

"He's going to be okay, see? He's not that pale anymore!"

Koch looked back at her, He had tears in his eyes, but his face showed no emotion.

"All I can say, Wesson, is thank you. Though you can be annoying sometimes, you're a really kind person."

Wesson smiled. She was happy despite the fact she was called annoying, because she admits it.

"I promise, everything's gonna go better from today on."

Wesson was wrong...

"Filak, can you help me check on Smith? I don't know why but he isn't feeling well since this morning, he didn't come to eat and just... just feels bad..."

It was Helian, after a bit of psychological training from Orsis, she finally knows how to approach Burgundy.
"Ah, so you don't hate me after all?"
"W-What is that supposed to mean?!"

Filak looked up at her from the book he was reading.

"I mean, you were always yelling at me or running from me when you approached me before or I did, and I was worried that I did something wrong on our first meeting, Haha!"
Filak smiled, as Helian smiled a bit too, holding onto her left arm with her right, and looking down a bit.

"You did everything right..."
"What was that?"
"NOTHING!"

...

"Smith, open the door, please." Helian knocked again, with Filak besides her.

"G-Go away, I'm just sleepy...."
"Smith please, if you don't let us in it won't get any better."
"W-Wait you both know about it...?"

Filak struck the point, and said "Yes". Smith opened the door, he was pale.

"You're very ill, right? Why didn't you tell us?"
"I-I'm sorry... I just didn't want to drag down the tea-"
"The real drag down is when you get an infection from getting shot in the back and don't tell us about it after recovering from the wounds."

Smith was getting scolded by a 19 year old. Smith never knew he'd ever be scolded by a 19 year old! This was getting kind of ridiculous for Helian. Helian decided to step in before Filak morally destroyed Smith.

"Let's go get you some anti-biotics... There's no other way now."

...

"So if not Filak I'd be left to die and would wake up not feeling anything? Damn he's smart. Instead of panicking checking the pulse first."
Saiga and Damler were eating lunch together and talking.
"But Gyurza... I feel bad for you, to lose a high school friend like that."
"It's nothing... I got over it. He was good... But at least he isn't going to suffer from this dirty and trashy world anymore."
"That sounds eerie, but you're right..."
"You're also pretty amazing! 10 shots and you're walking as if you never fought!"
"I'm amazed you're still alive after your armor and helmet were thrashed to bits!"
Damler and Saiga snickered, as Saiga added.
"But I guess you had more armor than me that means you could use me as armor!"
And that's when they both laughed.

...

"So you're telling me he has an infection? Oh ho ho, that's not as bad as getting your bones broken, especially in our days! Just 2 days off for him and then he'll be good as new!"
Walther got up, as he took off his glasses and wiped the lenses, the lenses got a bit foggy. Filak snapped his view to the glasses... And remembered how he hadn't really thought about how everyone looked. He forgot the basic function of the human body - unique looks, and some things that require people to wear more things -- like Walther's eyes need glasses, etc.

He began counting down how everyone looks, just as a self orientation as Walther talked with Helian and as Walther began getting medicine for Smith.

Helian is 176 cm tall, and had long, let down, gray-blue-ish hair, with a crimson and black light suit for a commander, and the fancy Monocle!

Walther is 185, and had very short hair, and of course, glasses.

Smith, is about 176 and had short frilly gray hair. He usually had a gray cap on with headphones on them.

Wesson has pure white hair, and twin tails on the sides, with her being the shortest - 165 cm.

Heckler has pure white short hair and glasses too, he is 180 cm.

Koch is 175 cm tall, having gray, and a bit longer hair than Heckler.

Saiga is 185 cm tall, pure black hair, and has a pair of anti-fragmentation goggles around his neck for some reason...

Damler is 192 cm tall, has a beard, and has dark brown hair.

Gyurza... was 186 cm tall, and had fair hair. Usually wore a beret.

Orsis is 171 cm tall and has shoulder length and had chestnut colored hair. She usually wears heavily camouflaged clothing.

Callhoun is 180 cm tall, and has a black Highcom Striker ULACH IIIA helmet, but his hair is brown, and isn't too short.

And here is Filak Burgundy himself. He is 178 cm tall, has a camouflaged dark headband over his forehead, and quite long hair, almost shoulder length, but the headband holds it up, it really helps him. His hair is burgundy colored (pun not intended).

"Anyway, we should get going to our business... Please get Smith back to full health, he's our best radio operator."

Helian turned to Smith, pretty pissed.

"NEVER DO THAT EVER AGAIN, YOU IDIOT!"
And she gave him a slap. Even Filak flinched upon hearing that, and woke up from his thoughts.

"O-Okay I'm sorry commander..!"
"Hmph..."
Helian crossed her arms and went out.

"Anyway, good luck to ya, hope your cheek won't hurt."
Filak got up and followed Helian.
"Where we going, Miss Helian?"
"Uhm.. Uh... Y-You're dismissed!!"
"Alright, see you around, commander!"

Filak ran off. When he was gone from the hall, Helian covered her red face, just thinking.

Koch and Wesson stumbled upon Filak.
"Yo, how's Heckler?"
"He's fine."
"We're done visiting everyone."

Filak looked at the pair again...
"You look good together you know that?"

Koch blushed a bit, with his expression not changing.
But Wesson blushed a mad red.

"NO WAY WE'RE GOOD TOGETHER!!"
Filak chuckled.
"Anyway, turns out Smith is ill, and is currently back in the hospital bed..."
"Wait what?! Is he okay?!"
"He is, don't worry, he is currently resting."
"Ah... he worries me too much..."

Koch looked at her.

"Hey. Wanna go hang out together? It's to kill some time."
"Ah? Sure!"
And so they went off after saying bye to Filak.
"Hmm... They sure do look like a good couple."
"Yo, Filak."

Filak gasped and turned around, it was Orsis, she was back and up walking again!

"Haven't seen me walk in a long time, huh?" She smiled, and Filak ran to her.

"You finally recovered!"
"Mhm, wanna go shoot some targets from afar in the range?"
"Sure, teach me how to use a sniper properly!"
