Summary
Blair’s mask of kindness and indifference to the pain all around her is heavy, but she does as her mentor asks of her with a pleasant smile for the crying men. Her hands are deep crimson after extracting the cool metal of a bullet from a wound with practiced ease. Bandaging and disinfecting proves to be more difficult due to the shortages, but it only really needs to last until nightfall. She shuffles around Charlotte to grab a meager roll of wrap and a wad of cloth. Blair refuses to look at the shiny syringe in Charlotte’s hands, so she stumbles her way back with the glare of the flashlight on only the ground. Her patient is finished in only a minute more and he is left to rest, though Blair would expect it to be difficult to sleep without pain management in a tent filled with the chorus of his brethren’s misery.
