Bing Shi was in a tough spot. She had helped Silvia out of predicaments many times before, but this time, she thought it might be best to sit it out. She knew that because of her former assistance, Silvia had come to rely on her when in trouble.
But she wasn't sure she could put herself in that situation again. As much as she wanted to stay out of it, she felt a sense of responsibility for the people who still had faith in her.
Bing Shi woke up inside an infirmary, to a girl chanting endless apologies, "Bertha."
"Y-yes?!" Bertha jumped from her seat, looking around for some water.
Bing Shi looked at the girl's face, "It's alright, it's fine. Everything is okay now."
"Are you sure? Do you need any assistance?" Bertha asked. She offered her a hand to help her steady herself, but Silvia refused.
"No, it's okay," Bing Shi said as she made an effort to stand up.
