Dang. Was holding out hope for a lat minute med-gel… 😢

Great story and poetic ending.

He used up all that nasty Jaern medigel and nearly died from it. At least he did not die unknown in some dark, moldy corner of his bunker...

His was a much better fate for most of the Avern'a child soldiers. He will be remembered.
