Mother, I...

I'm going to make sure you're safe.

Merric, I haven't been safe since the war started.

You were. You had made it to Ion.

There's an evacuation. You should go.

I... I can't leave you. Not like this.

Merric, Doctor Marcela already told me everything.

The blood machines are off. The door's welded.

There's nothing to be worried about. You need to go with the doctor.

Mother, I-

Merric, I've known I'm going to die.

I've accepted it for a while now. All of us in here accepted we were going to die.

You need to accept it too.
