I've been thinking a lot about something

... that's a load of nonsense.

There are some things that are never okay.

[original_medic]

I hate it when people die. I always did, even when we had to kill some of the enemy. I was always thinking that these people had families, friends, children.

It's not fair.

[revengeisalie]

... yeah, I can... understand that.

[original_medic]

Are you maybe some kind of soldier as well?

[revengeisalie]

Uhm, no, not at all.

... I guess you could say my father was something of the sort... a samurai.

[original_medic]

I see.
Did he get sent off to war?

[revengeisalie]

No. My country's a peaceful country... at least on the surface.

[original_medic]

It's not when you go a bit deeper, I take it.

[revengeisalie]

Not really. Violence still happens. Regularly.

[original_medic]

I guess it's that way no matter where you're from.
It seems that people were made to fight.

[revengeisalie]

Yeah, that seems to be an universal truth. Someone I knew once said: "If you want to be loved by everyone, you can't even fart on the street." Maybe not the prettiest illustration, but...

So... I take it that you are a soldier?

[original_medic]

It was a funny example, though.
Yes, I am. A ninja of Konoha.
I'm Rin. What's your name?

[revengeisalie]

A ninja? Wow.

... Rin. Asano Rin.

[original_medic]

Nice to meet you. Well, I guess we'll have no trouble remembering each other's name!
Being a ninja isn't that special where I come from, and there are lots that are way more talented than me.

[revengeisalie]

Nice to meet you, too! I guess so.

And hey, don't say that! I'm sure you're good at what you do.

[original_medic]

Well, I am, or else I'd have never made Chuunin, but really, there are many who are better than me.

You're not a samurai, then? What do you do?
