For more than a dozen hours, Estes really knelt beside Sarah, as she said.

From six o'clock in the afternoon of the previous day until dawn the next day, he had been kneeling there, in the dilapidated clinic, beside Sarah, the alchemy in her hand was constantly running, emitting this dazzling light as if she was tirelessly working tirelessly to treat all the wounds on Sarah's body.

On the issue of excessive blood loss, Dr. Knox, who was the coroner's coroner just now, came over and found that the patient was really slowly recovering, and brought some necessary plasma and medicine for Estes to use as he pleased.

He was a coroner, but a good doctor with dreams of treating the living, and left the clinic with a medical facility and medicine that Estes needed.

After all, he still has a lot of corpses to dissect and a lot of work to do.

It is impossible to stay for long

"If the liver is necrotic, it is impossible to save the land no matter what...... Although it's brutal...... But hopefully you understand that......"

The bearded Knox left all the medical supplies and medicines he needed, and left with a cigarette in his mouth.

Back to his morgue, while Estes ......

Aisha...... Is that you? ”

Just kneel in front of Sarah, treat her, and try to delay her death.

"Well, Sister Sarah~It's me~"

After more than a dozen hours of nursing, Sarah finally woke up weak and tired.

She was placed on a low cot by Estes. It is also the usual place where she rests.

"Yuri...... Is he okay? ”

Although as a doctor and a surgeon, Sarah knew that the possibility of her husband, who had been stabbed more than a dozen times to protect her back, would be saved.

Because three of them were stabbed into Yuri's heart accurately. The speed of the opponent's attack is too fast and too ruthless......

"I'm sorry...... Teacher ......"

It looks like the place covered with a white cloth in the corner of the wall...... Estes didn't know what to say

The teacher's most beloved husband, a strong and upright doctor, Dr. Yuri Rockbell has left this world forever.

I can't heal and save people anymore.

"Really...... Yuri...... It's already a step ahead......"

Although I was very sad, I was also very calm, as a surgeon.

Accustomed to seeing doctors of life and death, Sarah knows that people cannot escape death, and can leave their traces and ideals in the world, so that all kinds of things in the world will become better and people will be happier with their own efforts, this is the persistence of these doctors and doctors, and the persistence of Lockbell.

From the first day they came to Ishbal, they were prepared to face danger and die...... It's the same......

"I'm sorry, Aisha, for saying those excessive things to you at the time."

Sensing the strangeness of her body, Sarah knew that something was wrong with her liver, as the pain from the necrotic lesion made her realize that her body was only supported by Aisha's alchemy.

As a surgeon, I remember that my liver was stabbed three times at that time, and it is a miracle that I can survive until now.

"I should understand your difficulties and sufferings, and I should not embarrass you to make you give up your persistence."

Looking at Aisha, who was kneeling on the edge of her little bed and crying, her body trembled, which was the stiffness and fatigue caused by maintaining a long-term movement posture.

Ordinary people only hold on for a few minutes and dozens of minutes before they get tired, but Aisha knelt beside her for more than ten hours, during which she was still maintaining alchemy to heal herself.

It's really hard for her......

"I should have understood you, I'm sorry."

Think about it, what do you and your husband do for working in the war-torn Ishbal? What are your ideals and those of your husband?

Isn't it just through our own efforts to make people in this world understand each other and live in peace?

Obviously, I have always fought in the most dangerous places to make the world full of understanding and tolerance, but why did I suddenly become strict when I came to Aisha?

"What are you talking about, Ms. Sarah? It was Aisha who was sorry for you, deceived the teacher and Mr. Yuri, and used you as a cover in the name of an apprentice to do so many things that were contrary to the teacher's ideals...... Aisha, I'm sorry for you ......."

If you ask Estes what is the thing he regrets the most now?

Her first answer was to run away from home for eight years, and the second was to cheat on Sarah, which broke Sarah's heart.

"No ......"

But this time, Sarah decided to be understanding and tolerant, to stick to and follow through on the beliefs she and her husband had held all their lives.

"You are doing your job, for the sake of the people, for the sake of ending this civil strife as soon as possible, and for the sake of the people around you to sacrifice less...... Let them go home early and be reunited with their families. ”

And the forgiveness, love and understanding are the greatest things about the Rockbells, even in the face of students who have deceived them.

"Teacher...... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! ”

But hearing the teacher's words of understanding and tolerance, and seeing the teacher's obviously painful but still kind and gentle smile, Estes blamed himself even more.

Aisha only thought that she didn't take into account the teacher's thoughts! If you don't take into account the teacher's feelings, you are self-centered in everything you do! Aisha is wrong! Really wrong! ”

Compared to Sarah's state of putting herself in her own shoes, standing on her own position and feeling to consider problems for herself.

What about Estes himself?

Even if it is for others, or for helping others, I only consider the problem from my own position and thinking, but I don't think about whether my own thoughts can understand the people being helped.

Can Estes's own goodwill and friendliness really be conveyed?

It's really because of this self-righteousness that Estes always does some thankless things, obviously very interesting to his own people, but there are many people who don't understand him, and even hostile and against him.

First it was his mother, then he was Teacher Badis, and then he was Teacher Hawke...... Sarah Sensei...... Uz may be the same.

It is his own self-righteous subjective thoughts that make Estes's love fail to reach the people who value it most, because of Estes's train of thought.

"Aisha is not to blame for this...... Because Aisha is such an amazing little girl...... There are not many peers who can make you valuable and understand each other~"

Just as Uzi thought, Sarah now understands where Aisha's mental problems are.

Faced with the contradiction with others, Estes's first thought was to conquer the other party's mind and make the other party force to accept his own ideas.

Just as a child needs to be scalded by hot water to understand what is dangerous, only after experiencing failure can he know that success is not easy to come by.

And what about Estes? It's because she was so good when she was young, so she failed too little, so she didn't know many, many things.

Since she was a child, the environment and talent of the queen of independence have made her lack a lot of things that are the wealth of life for young people......

For example, competitors, for example, assistance, for example, understanding...... For example......

After being defeated by others, you learn to get along with people who know how to get along with equals, and then you get to know each other, understand each other, understand each other, and respect each other.

Estes's style of acting is too arbitrary and hegemonic, because of the influence of his father's education and his own strength since he was a child, this danger of prematurely grasping strong strength and status is to make Estes too arrogant, make her overestimate her own strength, and make her look down on his thoughts too much.

It's hard to laugh or cry, Estes's talent is too high, so high that he hasn't really planted a big heel until now.

Perhaps this was the first time, the first time, Estes found that his strength was so limited, and he led tens of thousands of troops to destroy half of the city and failed to protect the three people he originally wanted to protect.

Uzi, Sarah, Yuri......

In the end, in the end, there is no one left to protect.

For the first time, Estes was so completely defeated, completely defeated by the cruelty called reality.

"Aisha, you are so good, you are only seventeen years old and you have achieved results that many people have not achieved for decades, self-confidence is normal, but ......"

As he spoke, he smiled and caressed Estes's face

"It's very tiring~ No one understands themselves and despises the lives of the people around them...... It's very tired and cold~"

Because they value everyone's life, the Lockbells value everyone and believe in the people around them, although they will occasionally be pitted by others, but those who believe in others, those who are strong-willed can always be understood and admired in the end, and no one can ignore this kind of hard-working person who has firm beliefs and respects the beliefs of others.

So their lives are hard, but they are beautiful. Because......

They love everyone around them

"Aisha, do you love someone?"

"Hmm,"

Estes now loves Sarah, his mother and father, Wen Li, his teachers, and his soldiers......

"Want them to be happy?"

"Hmm."

"Then we need to try to respect their ideas, respect their feelings, and understand their ideas from their point of view...... Otherwise, the one you love ...... It's going to be sad~"

The body is getting more and more tired, because of the lack of active liver, more and more toxins are accumulating in the body, and the fatigue of the brain and muscles is rising rapidly, even with Estes's alchemy concoction to no avail, the storage of toxins in the blood vessels is eating away at Sarah's body, and it has been almost twenty hours since the injured liver died.

Sarah's body has reached its limit, and it is not easy to hold on to what she wants to say to Estes to the end.

"Don't talk about Sister Sarah, please......"

Estes knew that the more Sarah said at this time, the sooner death would come.

She didn't want Sarah, her second mother, to die again.

I really don't want to.

"It's okay Aisha, my body ...... I know. ”

Then sit up from the bed as best you can

"Teacher, how do you ......?"

Before Estes could come to her senses, Sarah's warm embrace and gentle shoulders wrapped around her.

It was the feeling of a mother, the kind of childhood snuggled in her mother's arms that Estes lacked......

"Try to understand others, Aisha, understanding can make life better and make you happier~"

"Can you make me stronger?"

Like a little girl, Estes asked stupidly

"Of course~ People who are understood can always get more help~ Isn't that just getting stronger? ~”

Like a mother, Sarah still hopes that her students, Aisha, can get her own happiness in her last days.

Fraternity Mother......

"Sister Sarah...... Come to Ishbal...... You guys...... So many sacrifices...... Do you regret it? ”

"No~"

With Estes in her arms, Sarah lay down again, still with a motherly kindness on her face

"Although it is not very complete, but our thoughts, the thoughts of understanding have indeed reached many people, those who have been healed and recovered by us, those who have good intentions, with the fire of our understanding, will definitely make the world more peaceful and happy~"

Like the Virgin, Sarah seems to see the moment when the nations of the world are understood for each other.

Soldiers from various countries came out of the trenches, threw down their guns, and embraced the former enemy on the other side.

Opponents with their own opinions put aside their differences and shake hands with each other.

The rebellions and strife in the country disappeared with understanding and tolerance, and the flames of anger and revenge were soothed by a warm heart and warmth.

That is the moment when the world is made to be truly peaceful and understanding......

"If there is an afterlife, I really hope to continue to be a doctor...... Go on...... Let understanding and tolerance warm the world ......"

If there really is a Virgin, then this is what it looks like, right?

Like Sarah, forgive and understand everyone, even the Ishbals who killed their own husbands.

"Teacher...... Can you please sue me who hurt you? I ......"

"No need~"

Knowing that Estes wanted to avenge herself, Sarah shook her head

"It's just a poor person who has lost his family and hope, because the things he loves and protects are gone......"

Really forgiven, really ......

"I'm sorry Aisha...... The teacher was a little tired...... Can't nag anymore~"

After saying that, he closed his eyes peacefully

"No!! No!!! ”

Seeing that Sarah actually closed her eyes and lost her voice, Estes sat on the ground with her ass and held a position for a full twenty hours, so that her body was paralyzed for a moment, and she couldn't help but tremble because she couldn't accept the reality and her body stiffened from exhaustion.

Estes didn't believe that the teacher was gone like this, and another person he valued was gone.

Ever since she was a child, Estes has always believed that difficulties can be solved with her own efforts, so Estes has always been diligent, because she believes that her diligence can allow her to overcome any difficulties, and she has been like this for more than ten years until this time......

After fighting for a few months, he became the general who commanded the ten thousand armies, destroyed half of the city, learned alchemy, and slashed thousands of rebels.

Conquered the whole of Ishbal, and the people he originally wanted to save ......

own original purpose. But the three most important men in the city died......

I can't protect myself

Only this moment, this moment of pain and despair for Estes......

Moments when you are scared to the point of wanting to escape from reality.

Estes realized a truth - he was just a weak and weak human being.

A weak seventeen-year-old girl who couldn't even be saved by her master and friends.

I am too weak.

With its own strength......

"Because I understand the weakness and powerlessness of human life, I know that I can't do anything with the strength of one person. So is it necessary to understand each other to gain great power? …… That's a good idea. The couple. ”

Walking in at the door was a man with long ponytail hair, wearing a major's military uniform and a bombing maniac with a stern and holy expression.

"Until the last moment of my life, I was blessed with such a strong attachment to my duty and faith. What an admirable couple. ”
