[ It would be unrealistic to think that absolutely no one else is going to get hurt along the way, she thinks, but it's a hopeful sentiment, to be sure. The best they can do is to minimize the injuries that can be avoided...

But that's neither here nor there, for the moment.

Shoko leans in once the bandages are done away with, taking care not to touch the tender wound but tipping her head this way and that way so that she can take a close look without jostling Suzuha. ]

All things considered... This is healing up nicely. [ Of course it is, given that Sigewinne had seen to the initial treatment. ] We don't want to disturb it too much while it heals, so I'll give you a little boost and dress the wound up again. Before you rest, you can use a cold pack. It might help with the phantom pain.

[ Though it's likely to go unseen, there's a mystical sort of energy that coats Shoko's hand as it hovers near Suzuha's amputation wound; she might feel the tenderness there alleviate just ever so slightly, like it's healed up just a little bit more. After that, she glances up to catch Suzuha's gaze properly. ]

You're strong, Suzuha. And you're going to be all right. It's okay that it doesn't feel that way right now, though. You can cry on my shoulder if you need to, honestly. I wouldn't hold that against you.
