Dialogue
Esper Union. Amuse Street
: Great. That was the last patient needing our care.
Heng Yue. Chang'e. Union Medical Ops Chief
: Please, everyone, please secure your medical equipment as we will be returning to Gyrate in half an hour.
: What happened to Ye Suhua? She was here a moment ago. I don't see her...
Heng Yue looks around. She finally notices a familiar face in an unobtrusive corner of the city block.
: Suhua, could you start to pack up your equipment please? We're about to head back.
: Bandages and ointments. Got it!
Ye Suhua. Shao Shiming. Union Medical Ops Chief.
Suhua continues rifling through the medic kit, seemingly not hearing Heng Yue's words. She then gets up and disappears down into the dark end of an alleyway.
: Who's injured?
: It's not a great idea to go off alone especially into a place like this - even if it's to save someone's life.
Heng Yue follows Ye Suhua to fairly out-of-the-way alley. She watches her kneel down to bandage someone.
: Anyone else in need of assistance?
: Ah! Who's that? Who's over there?
: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
: I was just asking whether you need help?
: Oh, it's Heng Yue! Great...
: Sorry. I probably overreacted.
: It's OK. I always keep my guard on missions.
: Not to mention we just got hit by a pretty sizeable Miramon attack. You never know what's going to happen out here...
: On that note, who are you bandaging? Did we miss one of the residents?
: Someone who got hit pretty bad by Miramon, but not a resident, I think...
: ...?
Cute Animal: Coooh-
A furry presence pops its head out from behind Ye Suhua and takes a look at Heng Yue, who unconsciously steps back.
: What is this? Is that a cat? A... Manul cat?
: I, uh, I don't know.
: Wild animals often carry all kinds of dangerous pathogens. You should know that.
Ye Suhua is about to explain when the little creature jumps into her arms.
: I see... make sure you get him checked out and cleaned of any nasties after you bring him back.
: Yes, yes, Heng Yu ma'am.
: So they're the ones you're trying to... heal?
Ye Suhua nods.
: Come on... Hey! Settle down there little fella. Let mi finish.
: No! You can't do that! You can't pull my hair!
The little creature is trying to clamber up her shoulders when Ye Suhua picks it up and puts it down on the ground.
: I'm trying to bandage you up! If you can't keep still, you're not going to recover!
: Calm down... Very good!
: When did you notice them?
: When I arrived. A few of them were badly hurt and they just seemed so helpless and afraid, they were hiding in one of the walls.
: I was worries they might get killed in the evacuation, so I hid them here.
: Since we've already done the injured humans, I figured I had enough time to look after them.
 Ye Suhua keeps talking as she finishes bandaging one of the animal's hind legs.
: ...
: Would you like to pet it, Heng Yue?
: That's alright.
The furry creature looks up at Heng Yue and lunges at her. She quickly sidesteps.
: Don't try to attack me. Not only am I in charge of the medic team, but I'm more than a match for you.
Cute Animal: Awoo...
: Heng Yue, they're badly hurt. It's normal for them to get started by strangers and sudden movements.
: Just give it a comforting pat and it will calm down. Like so -
Ye Suhua gently pets the animals' heads and they soon calm down. Before long they are lying at Suhua's feet.
: Don't do anything silly, OK? We mean you no harm.
: Looks like your "new patients" listen to you, at least.
: Some animals are very smart. They can tell when we mean them harm. There's really little difference between an injured human and an injured animal in that sense.
: If we are honest with them, then they can be just as cooperative as an injured human.
: They may listen to what you have to say and let you bandage them, but the sun's going down.
: We can't stay much longer. We have to go back.
: I'm - I'm sorry, Heng Yue. I'll try to finish this ASAP!
Some of the more anxious critters start pacing as she tries to apply the rest of the bandages.
: Don't so that! The bandage is going to come off!
: Looks like the don't listen as much as we thought.
: That's alright. I'll help... A little warning: they'd be better keep their dirty claws far away from my face, or else!
: Got it, Heng Yue!
