i'm pretty tough.

Everyone who was sick were huddled closely together.

i know you're probably still mad at me and all
but that was totally different than what just happened
somebody to put up a fight even if it was hopeless and it was our fault anyway and i couldn't let all those people die
but i'm not a soldier and i still don't want to be one if that's what you really want to know.

I didn't want to make it worse.
