[center][h2] Oswald Connoly- Infirmary[/h2][/center]

Oswald grunted in assent as Diamond did her best to downplay the severity of her injury. [i]How noble...still, nice to know that she cares.[/i] He had to agree with her other point: their mission was a success only because of the help they'd received. Had it just been the four of them out there...

He wondered how they'd tell their story. Team CODE, the newbies who got killed hunting a pack of [i]Grievers.[/i] At best they'd be swept under the rug while somebody tried to figure out how the hell it had happened. At worst, they'd be laughing stocks after their deaths. 

Still, they'd survived against the odds, so it was time to look forward instead of thinking about how bad it could have been. "I volunteer for next crippling injury, in that case. You look like you could use a rest." That was probably a bit too cheeky. "We should discuss the benefits and issues that come with splitting up, and determine who should go with whom in case it happens..."

Diamond had more to say, though, and...well, Oswald wasn't sure how to process this next bit. [i]She's losing her grip on her Semblance? What the hell does that even mean?![/i] "What do you mean by that, Diamond...?"
