"No! No!" The girl cries out in horror as you fall to the ground, blood pooling around you. She drops her rifle and rushes over, trying desperately to staunch the flow of blood with her gloved hands. "Please don't die... please..." Tears stream down her face as she looks up at Pvt Sakura, pleadingly.

With another German soldier advancing on them, Pvt Sakura knows they must leave the injured behind. "We have to go!" she cries out, grabbing the girl's arm and pulling her roughly towards safety. The girl resists at first but eventually lets herself be led away, tears streaming down her face as she looks back over her shoulder at your lifeless body lying in the mud.

Her breath comes out in ragged gasps as she continues to guide you back towards safety. The sound of gunfire and explosions are almost deafening, but at least they muffle her own sobs a little bit. She clings desperately onto the note from her mother, feeling a sense of reassurance from its presence despite her current terror.

"I-I'm sorry..." she whispers hoarsely, barely able to speak over the noise around them. "I shouldn't have come...

Her shoulders slump in defeat as she continues to lead the way back towards base. She fights back tears and tries to compose herself, taking deep breaths to steady her shaking hands. "I-I'll do my best..." she manages to choke out between sobs, her voice barely audible over the commotion around them.

They round a corner, finally spotting the familiar outline of base camp in the distance. With renewed energy, they hurry forward, almost jogging now as adrenaline courses through their veins.

The girl shakes her head slowly, eyes darting around the small room as if searching for an escape. "No... I'm just a soldier..." she whispers hoarsely. "Just like you..." She pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I-I should be helping... but I can't..." Her voice cracks on the last word, and she hugs her rifle tighter, rocking back and forth where she stands.

The girl hesitates before finally speaking. "Sakura." Her voice is barely above a whisper, shaking with each syllable. She looks down at her hands, still trembling as they clutch the rifle. "I-I'm sorry... I don't know what to do..." Tears stream silently down her cheeks once more.

She smiled at his words, feeling warmth spread through her chest. Maybe things weren't so bad after all. Perhaps she and Shoku Rex could remain friends, connected by their shared experiences and the bonds that had been forged in the heat of battle. And maybe, just maybe, they would both find a way to move forward from this, stronger and more resilient than ever before.

Sakura blushed brightly at his question, her heart racing in her chest. She glanced down at her hands before meeting Shoku Rex's gaze once more, a determined look on her face. "Yes," she said softly, "I would like that." And with those words, the future seemed brighter than it ever had before.

The German soldier lets out a strangled cry as the knife sinks deep into his chest. Blood pours from the wound, staining her hands and uniform. But she doesn't care; all that matters is getting away from here with Onandy. As they scramble to their feet, Sakura glances over at him, relieved to see that he's moving under his own power despite his injuries.

Together they run, their hearts pounding in their chests as they race towards safety and freedom. As they leave the battlefield behind them, Sakura can't help but wonder what the future holds for her now that she's crossed this line, from timid girl to fearless warrior. But for now, all that matters is being with Onandy, the man who saved her life and showed her that there was more to the world than just bloodshed and suffering.

She smiles back at you reassuringly before reaching out to take your hand once more. "Well then, let's go find something to eat," she says with a grin. "I think we both deserve it." Together, they rise to their feet and begin the long walk back towards camp; side by side, their hands entwined, ready to face whatever challenges may come next... together.

At home... She can't even begin to imagine what it will be like; her family, her friends, the life she left behind. So much has changed in such a short time, and yet here you are, by her side. The thought of returning to that life without you seems unbearable now; but for now, they have each other, and that's enough.

"I don't know," she admits with a sigh. "I guess I'll find out when we get there."
