Doctor's POV
"Doctor... are you feeling well...?"
Amiya asked, looking at him with concern. Doctor Sirius Nakamura stayed silent, looking ahead at the grass field ahead with the wind blowing at his outfit. It was a beautiful day out, really. The perfect temperature to go out and have some fun, but not today. Or anytime soon, as a matter of fact. He couldn't ignore the war that was coming and how he had been forced to choose sides in an instant. Standing still at where he was, he took off his mask and hood and took a deep breath of the fresh air. Turning slowly to face Amiya, who had walked next to him, he gave her a forced smile.
"I am doing well. I just thought that I would see the clean field one last time before it becomes a war zone. How have you been holding up, Amiya?"
"I'm...fine, Doctor. Are you enjoying the view?"
Amiya said as she studied the Doctor. She seemed to want to say something, but she kept silent. Sirius wasn't in much of a mood to talk, since he was thinking quite a lot about what he should be doing next. Ever since he appeared at Rhodes Island, Amiya had been following him around a lot, seeing him whenever she could. He found that a little unsettling, since it felt like he was being kept an eye at by Kal'tsit. Especially waking up with no memory and being forced to fight a war. Was he even on the right side? Sure, he saw that Reunion had been violent, but were they really wrong? They were fighting to have what he had at Rhodes Island: acceptance. Here, Infected and non-infected got along fine. So why exactly were they stopping the Reunion? Even if they did stop Reunion, what comes after? Them being forced back to isolation and nothingness? These were thoughts that he had to think while fighting against them. He understood that the non-infected looked down and ignored the Infected, but was there really anything he could do? All he had been told was that he was researching something that could reverse the disease. Not much else.
"I am. Thank you for checking in on me, Amiya. You don't need to do this all the time, you know?"
"I want to do this, Doctor. I worry about you a lot. And I- I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.."
"........"
That was accompanied by silence. There it was again. Something he didn't know how to respond to. With a sigh he responded back, intending to lecture Amiya a little.
"Amiya."
"Yes, Doctor?"
"How would you feel if you lose your memory, but had to trust what people told you about who you are?"
"I'd feel...on edge."
"Exactly. So please stop saying things like that. It hasn't helped me remember. And it could potentially make me feel worse that I don't know someone who remembered me.
"I see.. But Doctor I-"
Amiya moved her hand to Sirius's, but Sirius moved his hands away from her. He needed to put a stop to this. It was uncomfortable, doing that with someone he didn't even know. Perhaps he did know Amiya once, but not anymore. He couldn't lead her on to think that he would remember. It wouldn't be right of him to.
"I'm sorry, Amiya. I can't allow you to. Until I recover my memories, I'd like you to stop with that sort of talk and action. And to be honest, as a person who's lost his memory, being followed around is... uncomfortable."
"O-oh.. I see.. I apologize.."
"At least now you know."
He paused, thinking that he was a bit too harsh on her about that, but he needed to get it out. It was very unsettling to be followed around by someone you didn't know, especially if the things spoken were about how important he was to her. He gave a sigh put his mask back on.
"Amiya. Do me a favor and go back inside and tell everyone to get ready. I'm going front lines again."
"Understood.. If you need something, just say it."
Sirius nods and turns back to look at the green valley as Amiya dejectedly walked back to the base. It was going to be a long battle..
Though little did he know that it was the least of his worries.
