Juri,
If I could be there for you, I would, but someone else needs me right now. Leaving this person would mean their dying. I'm not abandoning you, but I cannot leave. I can't have more blood on my hands.
Earlier was... there was so much blood. It wouldn't stop. I thought we'd drown in it. But it's better now. I can't go, but I can talk like this, for a little while. We're resting. Maggie is bringing broth. We can't eat anything else.
